Egypt's rapidly growing middle class, new capital city and affordable entry prices are attracting a new wave of international property investors.
The New Administrative Capital
Egypt's New Administrative Capital (NAC) is located 45 kilometres east of Cairo and covers 700 square kilometres. Off-plan property prices range from EGP 15,000 to EGP 35,000 per sq m from reputable developers such as SODIC, Mountain View and Hyde Park.
New Cairo and Sheikh Zayed City
New Cairo's established communities — including Fifth Settlement, Madinaty, and Rehab — offer immediate rental income and proven capital appreciation. Average prices in New Cairo range from EGP 25,000–60,000 per sq m for finished units.
Why International Investors Are Entering Now
Following the EGP devaluation of 2024, international buyers entering now with hard currency can effectively acquire assets at a 30–40% discount relative to pre-devaluation entry points. With Egypt's young population of 105 million and strong urbanisation trends, structural demand remains robust.
