The Egyptian Ministry of Housing, Utilities and Urban Communities has announced the start of accepting bank transfers for the third phase of the "Your Home in Egypt" initiative. This phase offers 4000 housing units in eight new cities for Egyptians living abroad who wish to book a home in their home country. The initiative provides various payment systems and different unit sizes. The registration and bank transfers began on Tuesday, November 10, 2026.

To register and make a bank transfer, applicants must visit the official website of the "Your Home in Egypt" initiative and create an account by providing their details, including name, national ID, passport information, and valid foreign residence. After completing the account creation, the website will issue a unique code for financial transactions. This code is essential for linking the transferred amount to the applicant's electronic account.

The Ministry has specified that the third phase of the initiative includes housing units in eight new cities: New Alamein, New Cairo, El Shorouk, 6th of October, Sheikh Zayed, New Administrative Capital, New Mansoura, and New Damietta. These cities will offer a range of housing projects with different specifications. The projects included in this phase are "Madinti, Jannah, Zilal, Diyarna, Mazareen, and Zahia," among others.

To proceed with the registration and bank transfer, applicants must follow a series of steps. They need to visit a quick bank in their country of residence, preferably avoiding exchange companies to ensure the swift transfer of funds. The applicant should then request a dollar transfer to the Central Bank of Egypt, including their unique code in the transfer details to link the amount to their account.

After making the transfer, applicants must obtain a copy of the SWIFT confirmation message from their bank and upload it along with the SWIFT code to their account on the website. This step is crucial for verifying the transfer and proceeding with the registration. The applicant can then track their account on the website to see the funds reflected in their approved balance.

The "Your Home in Egypt" initiative aims to provide Egyptians living abroad with the opportunity to own a home in their home country. The program offers a range of housing options in various cities, with different payment plans to suit different needs. This initiative is part of the Egyptian government's efforts to encourage Egyptians abroad to invest in their home country and provide them with a sense of belonging.

The Ministry of Housing, Utilities and Urban Communities has encouraged applicants to visit the official website of the initiative to learn more about the registration process, the available housing projects, and the payment plans. The website provides detailed information on the initiative, including the eligibility criteria, required documents, and the timeline for registration and transfer.
