Top 10 listed REITs on the Egyptian Exchange

Egypt’s real estate sector has evolved into an institutional-grade investment hub, underpinned by a dynamic Egyptian Exchange (EGX)—now among Africa’s most influential capital markets.

As of June 11, 2025, the EGX recorded a total market capitalization of EGP 2.33 trillion ($47.12 billion), playing a critical role in capital formation and economic growth.

Key sectors such as construction, financial services, and real estate collectively accounted for 12.97 percent of the exchange’s total valuation.

Egyptian investors dominated trading activity, making up 92.1 percent of the value traded in listed stocks (excluding block trades), while foreigners and Arab investors represented 3.1 percent and 4.7 percent, respectively. Foreign investors were net buyers with a balance of EGP 143.1 million ($2.89 million), while Arab investors posted net sales worth EGP 45.1 million ($0.91 million).
