Who is Qatari Diar?
Qatari Diar Real Estate Company was established in 2005 by the Qatar Investment Authority, the sovereign wealth fund of the State of Qatar, and is headquartered northeast of Doha on the Arabian Gulf coast. Its brochures say it was entrusted to support Qatar's growing economy and coordinate the country's real estate development priorities.
In Egypt it operates as Qatari Diar Egypt. The Alam Al Roum fact sheet lists 20 years in business and 42 investment projects, and describes the company as delivering destinations across five continents with the backing of the Qatar Investment Authority.

Questions about Qatari Diar projects in Egypt
Is this the official Qatari Diar website?
No. This is an independent marketing site run by a real estate marketer; it does not speak for Qatari Diar. The Sapphire Residences brochure prints the developer's own CityGate website: citygatenewcairo.com.
Which projects does Qatari Diar have in Egypt?
Two destinations. CityGate New Cairo, with Sapphire Residences, Ripples, Jade Hills, LEVEL Business District and the new fully finished apartments launch; and Alam Al Roum on the North Coast, whose newest phase is Sunray Lagoons Residences.
Is Qatari Diar the same as Al Diar Al Qatariya?
Yes. The developer's logo carries both names, QATARI DIAR in English and الديار القطرية in Arabic, with EGYPT for the Egyptian company. In the Egyptian market the name is also written قطري ديار.
Where exactly is Alam Al Roum?
On Egypt's Mediterranean North Coast. The developer's map places it just east of Marsa Matrouh International Airport. It is 14 km from Marsa Matrouh, 20 km from Almaza, 40 km from Ras El Hekma, 280 km from Alexandria and 380 km from Cairo.
Where is CityGate New Cairo?
In the centre of New Cairo, 30 km southeast of Cairo, described by the developer as the gateway to the New Administrative Capital. It is 5 minutes from AUC and 15 minutes from the Cairo-Sokhna Road, with connections to Road 90, the Ring Road and the Mohamed Bin Zayed axis.
How much is an apartment at CityGate?
In the new launch, a 1-bedroom of 89 m² plus a 40 m² garden starts at EGP 9,870,000, a 2-bedroom of 107 m² at EGP 11,040,000 and a 3-bedroom of 138 m² at EGP 14,080,000. Price list of 9 Nov 2026 as supplied by sales; subject to change and availability.
What is the payment plan for the CityGate launch?
5% down payment, 5% after 3 months, 10% on delivery, then 10 years of equal instalments. Maintenance is 8% and delivery is in 4 years, according to the sales team's launch message.
Are there prices for Alam Al Roum?
Not yet. The developer's Alam Al Roum fact sheet covers the masterplan only, and the sales message for Sunray Lagoons Residences gives unit types (1 to 3 bedrooms) without prices or areas. Register to receive the price list when it is issued.
Which suits me better, Alam Al Roum or CityGate?
For a primary home near AUC, the ring roads and the New Capital, CityGate fits better. For a sea home with a marina, lagoons and golf, look at Alam Al Roum. Published prices exist for CityGate only.
