Egypt Property Market
Property Guidance for Buyers in Egypt
LURAQ REAL ESTATE works with clients in Egypt and with Egyptians working in the Gulf, on property decisions at home and across our Dubai and Turkey markets.
Market overview
Understanding the Egypt Market
We advise clients in this market and support purchases in Dubai and Turkey.
Egypt has one of the largest housing markets in the Arab world, driven by a very large and young population. Supply is dominated by developer-led compound communities in the new cities around Cairo, alongside an extensive established stock in the older districts.
Egyptian buyers have historically treated property as a store of value, which makes purchase timing, payment-plan structure and developer selection unusually important considerations. Currency movements have added to that, and are one of the main reasons Egyptian clients ask us about holding property outside the country.
For clients considering Dubai or Turkey, we go through the practical realities — transferring funds, tax residency questions, and what remote purchase actually involves — before discussing any specific property.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can foreigners buy property in Egypt?
Foreign nationals can own property in Egypt subject to limits on the number of properties, area, and restrictions in certain zones. Conditions differ for tourist and resort developments, so confirm your specific case locally.
Does LURAQ list Egyptian properties?
Our active inventory is in Dubai and Turkey. For Egypt we act in an advisory capacity and help clients frame a local purchase properly.
Can I buy in Dubai from Cairo?
Yes. Most of the process can be handled remotely, and we coordinate with the developer or seller on your behalf. Fund transfer arrangements should be planned in advance.
Which market suits an Egyptian buyer better, Dubai or Turkey?
It depends entirely on your objective — rental income, capital preservation, lifestyle use or a residency route each point in a different direction. That is the first conversation we have with you, not the last.
