Frequently asked questions
What is the New Administrative Capital?
The NAC is Egypt's USD 45bn government-led mega-development east of Cairo — designed to relocate Egyptian government ministries, host new corporate HQs, and accommodate 6+ million residents. Phase 1 deliveries are reshaping the trophy tier.
How does Cairo compare to other MENA markets?
Cairo is MENA's largest Class A market by inventory but offers material rent discount to Dubai, Riyadh, or Abu Dhabi. Talent depth is strong; market liquidity has been challenged by EGP volatility.
Are rents really USD-denominated now?
Increasingly yes. Post-2022 EGP devaluation has driven a structural shift to USD or USD-pegged rent quotations for Class A product, particularly in NAC and New Cairo.
