Median price per square metre in Egypt: EGP 140,000 for a retail shop, and EGP 92,150 for an administrative unit, and EGP 100,000 for a medical unit, computed across 2,923 priced units with a stated area, per our listed inventory, August 2026.
Commercial property prices are long-tailed: one exceptionally priced unit pulls an arithmetic mean away from the market. The median is the price half the units sit above and half below, which is closer to what a buyer actually pays. We publish the 25th and 75th percentiles alongside it so the spread is visible rather than hidden behind a single number.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| retail shop | 1,300 | 110,000 | 140,000 | 180,000 | 60,000–400,000 |
| administrative unit | 1,075 | 70,000 | 92,150 | 120,000 | 35,000–277,760 |

The price of a retail metre differs by more than double between the highest and lowest Egyptian areas. That gap reflects location value, not build quality. The table compares the median in every area where we hold a sufficient sample.

The price-per-metre index for Egypt is not a theoretical estimate: it is computed from the prices of real units inside the projects below, which are the largest contributors to the calculation, per our listed inventory, August 2026.
These questions about the commercial and administrative price-per-metre index in Egypt are what buyers actually ask, and each answer is built on the median of our priced units dated August 2026 rather than on general estimates.

Floor first: ground level commands more per metre because it leases fastest and has the most footfall. Then frontage and its width, then proximity to entrances and lifts. So estimating a unit by multiplying its area by an area median is unreliable — the median is a negotiating starting point, not a final price.
No. These are computed from units listed for sale with us on a stated date. They are not a government index and not an official price from any developer. Developers change prices between release phases, which is why the computation date is published with every figure.
