Fuelled by rapid urbanization, a burgeoning population and a surge in foreign investment – the Egypt real estate market is currently at its peak.

Zeinab Adel is a real estate investment professional with an extensive roster of consulting developers and establishing strategies for major real estate management firms. As part of the new Cairo office management team, she will be joined by Tamer Elfiky, Partner - Head of Operations, Egypt, a real estate veteran with extensive experience in business development and marketing.

Zeinab Adel, Partner - Head of Egypt Office said, “Spearheading the progress, Egypt’s government is committed to further growing the local real estate market by providing housing opportunities for different socioeconomic segments and increasing the confidence of regional investors in the market.”

Commenting on the new office, James Lewis, Knight Frank's Middle East Managing Director, said, “I am excited that the Middle East region is expanding into North Africa and connecting further into our wider Africa network. This extension has come at the request of our clients who would like our integrated service offering to be available in this growing and dynamic gateway market.”

Together, Adel and Elfiky come with a deep understanding of the Egyptian real estate market and will work closely with clients to provide bespoke solutions to their real estate needs, drawing on Knight Frank's global network of experts and its reputation for excellence in real estate services.
