JLL: Cairo Real Estate Market Records Positive Momentum in H1 2026

Reports from JLL real estate and property management consultancy recorded a tangible improvement in the performance of the Egyptian real estate market during the first half of 2026, as reported, driven by rising demand for luxury residential units and commercial spaces in Greater Cairo.

Available reports indicate that the rebound in confidence within the Egyptian market coincided with a relative decline in inflation rates, as well as an improved ability of investors to engage in long-term financial planning amid relative exchange rate stability, as reported.

Areas in New Cairo and upscale developments top the surging demand landscape, while the New Administrative Capital project continues to attract widespread interest from major local and foreign real estate developers seeking growth opportunities in the Egyptian market, as reported.

Analysts believe that this positive momentum could continue into the second half of the year if the Central Bank of Egypt maintains its supportive monetary policy, opening the door for a new wave of local and foreign real estate investments in one of the largest real estate markets in the Middle East and North Africa region.
