FAQ

Frequently Asked
Questions

Can foreigners buy property in Egypt? +
Yes. Foreign nationals can purchase property in Egypt. The process involves registering the purchase with the Real Estate Registry. In some resort compounds, developers offer long-term usufruct agreements (similar to leasehold) rather than full freehold — we advise clients on the distinction before committing.
Are property prices in Egypt quoted in EGP or USD? +
Premium developments — particularly on the North Coast and in the New Administrative Capital — are typically priced and sold in USD, protecting international investors from Egyptian Pound depreciation. Some local market properties are EGP-priced. We only present USD-denominated opportunities to international investors.
What is the North Coast rental season? +
The peak season is June to September, when Cairene families and Gulf visitors fill the resort compounds. Occupancy rates of 80–90% are achievable during these months. Some compounds have year-round management, but the primary income window is the summer season.
What is the potential of the New Administrative Capital? +
The New Administrative Capital is modelled on Abu Dhabi and Riyadh in scale and ambition. With $60B+ in government infrastructure committed, major corporate relocations already underway, and planned population of 6.5M+, it represents one of the most significant real estate opportunities available to international investors at this price point.
