Giza Market Review — Q2 2026
Volumes cooled from a hot first quarter while prices held. The gap between compounds widened again — the average number is now hiding more than it reveals.

Key takeaways
- 1
Prices held while volumes fell, which is a market catching its breath rather than turning. We would not read the volume drop as weakness until it persists a second quarter.
- 2
The average price per metre has become close to useless as a guide. The spread between the best and worst compound in 6th of October is now larger than the spread between districts, so compound-level diligence matters more than location.
- 3
Al Haram posted the fastest growth of any district we cover for the third consecutive quarter, driven entirely by the streets rebuilt for the museum approach. Unimproved streets a few hundred metres away did not participate.
- 4
Delivered, occupied stock is pulling away from off-plan on price per metre. Buyers are paying a visible premium for a compound that already works, and after several years of delayed handovers that premium looks structural rather than temporary.
