Abstract

The legal regulation of foreign real estate investment in Egypt is subject to several laws and legislations aimed at encouraging and protecting investment. Under the Egyptian Investment Law, foreigners are allowed to own real estate in Egypt provided that the property is designated for personal or commercial use. The government also allows foreigners to purchase land and real estate within real estate development projects, provided that the total areas owned by them do not exceed a certain percentage of the project area. Foreign companies are obligated to register real estate in the real estate records and pay the prescribed fees. Real estate projects that include foreign investments also enjoy a number of tax and customs incentives in accordance with applicable laws.
