Egypt Unveils 3,000 Housing Units for Expats, Boosts Diaspora Ties with 'Your Home in Egypt' Initiative
  • This second phase underscores Egypt’s broader strategy to boost housing availability and infrastructure in new cities, supporting economic growth and diaspora engagement.

  • This initiative aligns with President Abdel Fattah El Sisi’s directives to improve services for Egyptians abroad and strengthen ties with the diaspora, as emphasized during the 'Conference of Egyptians Living Abroad.'

  • In collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the program seeks to engage expatriates and channel remittances into national development.

  • Egypt is launching the second phase of its 'Your Home in Egypt' initiative, offering around 3,000 housing, commercial, and administrative units to Egyptians living abroad, with registration opening on August 30 and closing on September 4.

  • The first batch of 1,380 units will be available for registration from August 30 to September 4, with unit selection scheduled from September 20 to 25.

  • These new units are located in key cities such as New Cairo, New Alamein, Minya, Mansoura, Damietta, and October Gardens, spanning middle- to high-income housing as well as commercial and administrative spaces.

  • To incentivize expatriate participation, the program offers flexible payment plans up to 10 years and discounts of up to 7%, aligning with efforts to support national development.

  • In addition to this, the Ministry of Housing is increasing land offerings in new cities to encourage residential development across various income levels.

  • Egypt is also expanding domestic housing access through initiatives like 'Housing for All Egyptians 7' and increasing land supplies via NUCA to meet rising demand in new urban areas.

  • The government is reviewing the 'Housing for All Egyptians' initiative, which aims to provide affordable housing for low-income citizens across all governorates, with the application deadline extended to September 14.

  • The initiative is a collaborative effort involving Egypt’s Ministry of Housing, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Emigration and Expatriates sector, reflecting a strategic move to involve Egyptians abroad in the country’s growth.
