Buying from abroad

A simple guide if you live outside Egypt and want to buy: the steps, remote viewing, payment and after you buy.

Last updated: November 5, 2026

The steps from start to finish

These are the general steps, which can differ between projects:

  • You tell us your budget, area and goal, whether living or investing.
  • We send the projects and payment plans that fit, and talk over video if you like.
  • You view remotely, or someone you trust views for you.
  • You reserve the unit and pay the booking amount.
  • The paperwork and signing are completed, and the payment plan starts.

Viewing remotely

You can see a project from where you are in several ways: a video call from the site, recent videos and photos, and the master plan with the unit marked on it.

If the unit is finished, ask to see the unit itself on the call. If it is under construction, ask about the progress and the phases already delivered. If possible, have a relative or friend visit the site for you.

Transfers and payment

You pay the way the developer or seller asks (bank transfer or cheques), according to the payment plan. Ask for the details and confirm them before any payment, and keep all receipts.

After you buy: handover and management

After you buy, follow the installment and delivery dates with the developer or seller. Before handover, have someone you trust inspect the unit for you and record any notes.

If you will rent out the unit, plan for furnishing and management costs, and decide who looks after it while you are abroad.
