Sixth Settlement is not a separate city from New Cairo. Formerly known as the Al Aml Triangle, it is located at the eastern extension of Fifth Settlement and represents an emerging residential, administrative, and commercial expansion of New Cairo. The district is situated east of Cairo, between Ain Sokhna Road and the Middle Ring Road, and near the New Capital.
Covering an area of 4,800 acres, the development is planned to include residential compounds, service areas, and mixed-use projects, while South 90 Road is designed to serve as the main administrative, commercial, and connectivity axis. This gives the district a distinct role within the broader New Cairo area.
