The Egyptian Ministry of Housing, Utilities and Urban Communities has announced that the Damietta New City development agency will start delivering residential land plots to Egyptians working abroad. This is part of the "Bait Al-Watan" project, an eighth complementary phase in the city. According to a scheduled timeline, the handover will begin on October 12, 2026, and continue until November 16, 2026. This allows for organized procedures and facilitates citizens' acquisition of allocated lands.

The Minister of Housing, Engineer Randa El-Manshawey, emphasized that the ministry continues to implement land delivery programs in various projects. The necessary procedures are being taken to ensure the smooth execution of handover operations and facilitate procedures for beneficiary citizens. This move aligns with the government's efforts to provide citizens with land for construction.

Engineer Ashraf El-Fathy, head of the Damietta New City development agency, stated that the handover process includes land plots in the area of plot number 33 north of district 22 and the area east of Horus University in the city. A specific timeline has been set for each region to ensure a systematic handover. The schedule has been designed to manage the process efficiently.

For plot number 33 north of district 22, the handover will start on October 12 for plots 1-16 and continue on October 13 for plots 17-32. On October 14, plots 33-41 will be handed over, along with those who missed the previous deadlines. This phased approach aims to streamline the process.

In the area east of Horus University, land plots will be delivered starting October 15 for plots C1-C16. The handover will proceed according to a predetermined schedule: October 19 for plots C17-C32, October 20 for plots C33-C48, and October 21 for plots C49-C64. Further deliveries are planned for subsequent dates.

The Damietta New City development agency will continue the handover process on October 26 for plots C81-C87 and D1-D9. Additional plots will be handed over in the following weeks, with specific dates allocated for each set of plots. This detailed schedule helps ensure an organized handover.

The final stages of the handover are set to conclude on November 16, 2026, with the delivery of plot E90 and any remaining plots for those who missed previous deadlines. This marks the completion of the land allocation process in Damietta New City under the "Bait Al-Watan" project.
