Buyer's guide: Egypt
RealEstateAbroad lists 32,610 properties for sale in Egypt, with a median asking price of EGP 4,000,000, mostly apartments. Cairo, the Red Sea and the North Coast lead the market. This guide covers foreign-buyer rules, costs, currency risk and developer payment plans.
Egyptian property market snapshot
Egyptian listings are priced in Egyptian pounds (EGP), so the figures below are shown in pounds rather than converted, because the exchange rate has moved sharply in recent years. All figures come from current listings on RealEstateAbroad and are asking prices.
| Indicator | Current listings |
|---|---|
| Listings | 32,610 |
| Median asking price | EGP 4,000,000 |
| Median price per m² | EGP 36,617 |
| Median size | 130 m² |
| Property-type mix | Apartments 25,739; houses 2,441; commercial 1,527; studios 1,446; villas 1,051; penthouses 273; land 95; townhouses 6 |
| Bedrooms | 1 bed: 11,538; 2 beds: 8,687; 3 beds: 8,455; 4 beds: 1,071; 5+ beds: 512 |
In Egypt, the exchange rate, the developer's delivery record and the payment plan matter as much as the headline price.
Where to buy in Egypt
Cairo is the largest market with 17,993 listings and a median of EGP 4,300,000. Greater Cairo includes new-city developments east and west of the capital, such as New Cairo and the New Administrative Capital, which are marketed with gated compounds and payment plans. Giza has 3,987 listings and a median of EGP 4,500,000, covering 6th of October City and the pyramids district.
On the coast, Red Sea (4,060 listings, median EGP 3,700,000) covers Hurghada and the resorts around it, popular with holiday-home and retirement buyers. The North Coast (1,269 listings, EGP 4,120,000) is the Mediterranean summer-home belt, and Ain Sokhna is a weekend destination for Cairo residents. Alexandria has a median of EGP 4,500,000, and Suez EGP 4,600,000. Sharqia sits to the north-east of Cairo.

Property types
Apartments are 79% of listings and range from compound flats to older city blocks. Studios are common in resort developments, and villas and townhouses feature in compounds. Houses, penthouses, commercial units and land round out the market.
Many homes are sold off-plan or under construction. Ask about the developer's track record, delivery date, finishing level (core and shell, semi-finished, fully finished), and service charges.
Foreign ownership and buying process
Foreigners can own property in Egypt, though rules limit the number and size of residential properties and restrict some land, particularly in border and sensitive areas such as parts of Sinai. Foreign buyers have historically been limited to a small number of properties for personal use, with conditions on resale, so confirm current limits with an Egyptian lawyer.
- Choose a location and developer.
- Verify the title and permits. Check ownership, the developer's licences and the project registration.
- Sign a reservation and contract. Developers commonly offer instalment plans over several years.
- Make payments through your bank, keeping transfer records, especially if you plan to repatriate funds.
- Register the property. Registration at the Real Estate Registry confers formal ownership; unregistered contracts give weaker protection.
- Take delivery and check finishing against the contract.
See our Egypt buying guide.
Costs and taxes (approx., verify locally)
Costs vary by project type and registration route.
| Cost | Typical level (approx.) |
|---|---|
| Registration fees | Percentage-based with a cap; confirm with a notary |
| Legal fees | Typically 1% to 2%, or fixed fee |
| Real estate disposal tax | About 2.5% on sale, generally charged to the seller |
| Developer / maintenance deposit | Often 5% to 10% of price at delivery |
| Annual property tax | Based on rental value with exemptions; varies |
| Broker commission | Often around 2.5% to 3% |
Financing
Mortgage finance for foreigners is limited. Egyptian banks offer home loans mainly to residents with local income, and many foreign buyers rely on developer instalment plans, which can spread payment over several years but are often priced in local currency. Because the pound has weakened in the past, buyers should understand whether instalments are fixed in pounds or linked to foreign currency. Read our Egypt financing guide.
Residency and currency
Egypt has offered residence permits linked to property purchase above certain US-dollar thresholds, and there have been programmes giving a path to citizenship for qualifying investments. Thresholds and conditions change, so confirm the current requirements with an Egyptian lawyer. Foreign-currency transfers must follow banking rules, so keep documentation for any repatriation.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Affordable by international standards, with a large range of compounds and resorts
- Strong demand for coastal holiday homes
- Developer instalment plans reduce upfront capital
Cons
- Currency volatility affects the real price in your home currency
- Off-plan delivery risk and developer quality vary
- Ownership limits and registration complexity for foreigners
- Limited mortgage finance
Practical tips for overseas buyers
Visit the project before paying. Compare the show unit with the actual building, check that roads and utilities are in place and ask residents about service charges and maintenance. Insist on written payment schedules, receipts for every instalment and a copy of the developer's licences. Use an independent lawyer rather than one supplied by the seller, and register the property as soon as the contract allows.

Buying property in Egypt: FAQ
Can foreigners buy property in Egypt?
Yes, with limits. Foreigners can buy residential property, but rules cap the number and size of properties and restrict some areas. Confirm limits with an Egyptian lawyer.
What is the median price in Egypt?
Current listings on RealEstateAbroad show a median asking price of EGP 4,000,000 and a median of EGP 36,617 per m². Prices are quoted in local currency.
Should I worry about the exchange rate?
Yes. The Egyptian pound has depreciated in the past, so decide whether you are paying in pounds or foreign currency and what your costs will be in your home currency.
Is off-plan property risky?
It can be. Check the developer's record, licences and delivery history, and understand what happens if the project is delayed.
Can I get a mortgage in Egypt?
Foreigners rarely get local mortgages. Most use cash or developer instalment plans.
Which area is best for a holiday home?
The Red Sea (Hurghada area) and the North Coast are the main holiday-home markets, with Ain Sokhna popular for weekend use. Seasonal rental demand varies.
Does buying give me residency?
Egypt has had residence options tied to property purchase above set thresholds. Rules change, so verify the current programme before assuming eligibility.
