The Egyptian Cabinet's Information Center has published a video on its social media platforms to address some of the queries related to the 11th phase of the "My Homeland" project for Egyptians living abroad. This project is part of the state's efforts to strengthen the connection between Egyptians abroad and their homeland, providing opportunities for property ownership and real estate investment in Egypt. The project also supports the development of new cities and urban expansion.

The video, released on September 30, 2026, tackles several questions raised by citizens, as clarified by the Ministry of Housing, Utilities, and Urban Communities. These questions cover aspects such as prices, locations of the offered lands, mechanisms for bank transfers, and procedures for refunding or reserving transferred amounts. Additionally, the video explains the priority of booking and application procedures for the project.

The "My Homeland" project offers a chance for Egyptians abroad to own land in 25 new cities, with around 15,500 plots available in this phase, compared to 4,543 plots in previous phases. This expansion provides more options for applicants. The Ministry of Housing has also allowed applicants whose reserved plots do not match their preferences to refund their transferred amounts or reserve them for future phases, subject to specific conditions.

The project aims to encourage Egyptians abroad to invest in their homeland and benefit from the country's real estate market. By providing more land plots and expanding the project's scope, the government hopes to attract more applicants and stimulate economic growth. The video is part of the government's efforts to increase transparency and provide clear information to citizens about the project.

The "My Homeland" project is a significant initiative that reflects the Egyptian government's commitment to engaging with its diaspora community. By offering land plots at competitive prices, the government aims to encourage Egyptians abroad to invest in their homeland and contribute to the country's development. The project's success could have a positive impact on Egypt's economy and urban development.

The Ministry of Housing, Utilities, and Urban Communities is responsible for implementing the project, which is expected to have a significant impact on the country's real estate market. The ministry's efforts to provide clear information and address citizens' queries demonstrate its commitment to transparency and accountability. The project's progress will be closely watched by Egyptians abroad and local residents alike.

The Egyptian government's efforts to engage with its diaspora community and provide opportunities for investment and property ownership are likely to be welcomed by Egyptians abroad. The success of the "My Homeland" project could serve as a model for future initiatives aimed at promoting economic growth and development in Egypt.
