Before buying a flat or house in Egypt, you should find out in advance about the banking, tax, and regulatory requirements. You should then seek the assistance of a local real estate agency to help you find a property that suits your needs. It is also important, before taking any steps, that you clearly define your project and its objective for example the purchase of a pied-à-terre for retirement, a seaside villa for a second home, a flat for rental investment, etc.
