The ownership right is one of the most important rights that are
included in all international laws as it impacts the state and its
economic, social, and political environment. The ownership of real
estate is considered the most prominent among all other types of
ownership, due to its historical importance, and the moral, social,
and material value acquired by owning real estate in Egypt.
Many foreigners residing in Egypt wish to obtain permanent
residencies and then proceed to make investments and establish
projects, however, the problem of foreign ownership of real estate
in Egypt revolves between the ups and downs of maintaining the
balance of national security, whilst also promoting foreign
investment. In an attempt to rectify this issue, the legislator has
codified a number of controls and conditions, particularly for real
estate ownership by non-Egyptians
