GOLD is a property company in Egypt. This app is where our listings live, and where the people we actually trust in each compound are one tap away. BROWSE Chalets, villas, townhouses, studios and apartments across the North Coast, Ain Sokhna, Gouna, New Cairo and Sheikh Zayed. Photography first, no clutter. Filter by area or search by compound, unit type or price. SAVE Bookmark anything worth coming back to. Saved properties stay on your phone. ENQUIRE One tap to WhatsApp or call the team, with the unit already named — so you never have to explain which one you meant. NEARBY Every compound has its own directory: the pharmacy, the supermarket, the bakery, the clubhouse, the nearest ATM. Egypt's emergency numbers are built into the app, so they work with no signal and no code. GOLD'S VETTED CONTACTS The plumber, the electrician, the AC technician and the cleaner we actually use in your compound — plus compound security and gate access. Not a search result: people we have used ourselves. This part opens with a code from GOLD, given to guests staying in one of our units. ARABIC AND ENGLISH Switch language whenever you like. The whole interface mirrors properly for Arabic, and Egyptian phone numbers work however they were saved. NO ACCOUNT Nothing to sign up for. No password, no email address, no location tracking, and no advertising identifier.
