Sharqia Governorate, Egypt: Apartments and Houses East of Cairo

10th of Ramadan is one of Egypt's new satellite cities, with an industrial zone, universities and a growing residential area some 50 km from central Cairo. Supply tends to be newer and cheaper than in Cairo itself, and buyers are mainly Egyptians working in local industry or commuting. It is not a tourist market, so rental yields depend on local workers.

Foreign buyers can own up to two properties of no more than 4,000 m² in total for residential use, with limits near the Sinai and border areas. Egypt has also offered residence for property buyers above certain values, but thresholds change, so verify them with a lawyer. Check registration with the Real Estate Registry, the developer's licences and the delivery record. The Egyptian pound's weakness is a major currency risk, so compare prices in your own currency. See the Egypt buying guide and Egypt financing.

Cairo is the nearest large market: Cairo property for sale. Giza lies across the Nile, and the Red Sea coast is a separate resort market far to the east. See the Egypt overview for more.
