Qatari Diar is one of the largest sovereign real estate developers in the Middle East, with investments exceeding $35 billion spread across more than 50 projects in 22 countries worldwide.
Established in 2005 under the umbrella of the Qatar Investment Authority, the company is currently chaired by Sheikh Abdullah bin Hamad bin Abdullah Al Attiyah. It combines the financial strength of a sovereign government-backed entity with extensive expertise in developing sustainable urban communities.
In Egypt, the company’s portfolio is concentrated in prime destinations including New Cairo, 6th of October, and the Nile Corniche. Its developments span residential, hospitality, and coastal projects, with prices starting from 12,990,000 EGP in its flagship development, City Gate.
Qatari Diar Real Estate Investment Company was established in 2005 as the real estate arm of the Qatar Investment Authority, the sovereign wealth fund of the State of Qatar.
Its journey began with the landmark Lusail City project, launched in December of the same year, before expanding into a globally recognized developer with a diversified real estate portfolio spanning multiple continents.
The company’s expertise extends far beyond residential developments to include five-star hospitality projects, commercial and administrative properties, and integrated coastal destinations.
Its long-term strategy focuses on creating self-sufficient smart cities that reflect local architectural identity while adhering to the highest international planning and construction standards.
Backed by a joint capital of $8 billion, the company enjoys exceptional financial stability, enabling it to deliver mega-scale developments with confidence. In Egypt, it owns a substantial land bank exceeding 40 million sqm across New Cairo, Greater Cairo, and key tourist destinations, reinforcing its long-term commitment to the Egyptian real estate market.
Qatari Diar entered the Egyptian market in 2006 with investments exceeding $3 billion, launching premium residential and hospitality developments that have positioned it among the leading Gulf investors shaping Egypt’s real estate landscape.
The company’s presence spans some of Egypt’s fastest-growing destinations, including the New Administrative Capital, West Cairo, and the North Coast, where it continues to deliver integrated residential communities alongside luxury hospitality and tourism destinations.
In recent years, Qatari Diar has renewed the momentum of its investments in Egypt following a period of slowdown, signing major development agreements that revitalized existing projects while launching new coastal developments on the North Coast. This renewed activity reflects the confidence of a sovereign investor in the long-term potential of Egypt’s real estate market.
Sheikh Abdullah bin Hamad bin Abdullah Al Attiyah has served as Chairman of Qatari Diar since March 2024. With extensive leadership experience in investment and real estate development, he is steering the company through a strategic vision aimed at strengthening its position as a global leader in real estate investment.
The Board operates within a robust corporate governance framework backed by the Qatar Investment Authority, ensuring sound governance and well-informed investment decisions.
Specialized executive teams in engineering, finance, and major project management oversee daily operations, supported by regional leadership supervising projects across Egypt, Europe, and Asia.
The company’s leadership embraces a philosophy centered on quality and innovation. Rather than simply constructing buildings, it focuses on creating integrated living environments that incorporate environmental and social sustainability while maintaining a strong commitment to scheduled delivery timelines.
This approach has significantly enhanced the company’s reputation in Egypt as well as international markets.
Qatari Diar believes that a real estate project should be more than a collection of residential units—it should represent a complete lifestyle ecosystem.
This philosophy is reflected in its self-sufficient city concept, which integrates residential, business, and leisure facilities within one destination, as successfully demonstrated in Lusail City and replicated across its Egyptian developments.
The company stands out for integrating sustainability principles and smart city technologies throughout every stage of development, from master planning to facility management systems. It also collaborates with internationally renowned consultants and designers to ensure every project meets world-class engineering standards.
The company aspires to become the world’s leading real estate developer by delivering distinctive projects that celebrate local heritage and culture while implementing the latest international standards. This vision aligns seamlessly with Qatar National Vision 2030, positioning Qatari Diar as the preferred choice for sustainable living and investment excellence.
Qatari Diar’s business model is built on a strong network of strategic partnerships that support the execution of large-scale developments. These collaborations span development, construction, and operations, including:
