Al Ahly Sabbour, founded 1994 in partnership with the National Bank of Egypt, has a large portfolio spanning East and West Cairo, the North Coast, and abroad. Its projects include mixed-use communities and resorts: for example, the At-East project (181 feddans in Mostakbal City) and Summer Vibes (on the North Coast, 864 feddans) each target on the order of EGP 20–35 billion investment. In 2024 Sabbour exceeded its EGP 30 billion sales target (achieving EGP 32.5 bn) while delivering 2,500 units. Completed deliveries include Green Square (fully delivered) and L’Avenir (100% built, 60% units handed over by mid-2025), with other phases (e.g. GAIA, Aire, KEA/V) on schedule. Sabbour has also expanded regionally: it launched the Wadi Zaha resort in Oman, and it signed a Saudi JV (Grande By Al Ahly Sabbour) for projects in Saudi Arabia. In total the company boasts a land bank of ~4,000 feddans across ~65 projects.

Sabbour reports strong sales and backing. For 2024 it hit 400% sales growth in H1 (EGP 25.5 bn vs 6 bn a year earlier) and full-year sales of EGP 32.5 bn (above target). The company plans to invest ~EGP 10 bn in 2025 to accelerate construction. It has leveraged financing partnerships: for example, in Oct 2023 it signed a sale-and-leaseback deal worth EGP 1.2 bn with Beltone Leasing. It also has a 30-year alliance with National Bank of Egypt, recently forming the “Mint Real Estate Assets” vehicle for asset management. We found no reports of funding delays or defaults. Sabbour’s leadership frames rising interest rates as an industry-wide cost issue but expects lending to normalize. Overall, industry reports emphasize Sabbour’s “solid financial health” and investor trust.

Official sources highlight high design and construction standards. Sabbour partners with global firms on key projects (e.g. infrastructure by EJAB, mega-contractors Al Hazek and Build Tec, and exterior works by ICON). Signature projects tout luxury, amenities and innovation: At-East includes villas, gardens, coworking, and co-designed water features; Summer Vibes offers chalets, a boutique hotel and an award-winning beach design firm. Sabbour emphasizes integrated mixed-use communities (e.g. the City of Gardens, Eastown, The Village) with green spaces and pedestrian-friendly layouts. Company statements often stress “evolving strategy” and “value-driven projects”. We found no independent reviews, but Sabbour’s awards (e.g. “Evolving Legacy in Real Estate Egypt 2024”) suggest industry recognition of quality.

No public records were found of Sabbour being sued, fined, or facing project suspensions. We saw no mention of delays due to litigation or government warnings in news sources. Sabbour executives have publicly advocated regulatory reforms (e.g. pushing for fines instead of imprisonment for developer infractions), but this reflects industry lobbying, not evidence of specific violations. In short, authority and press reports do not indicate any legal or regulatory issues for Sabbour.

News articles emphasize customer trust rather than complaints. Sabbour credited “strong customer trust in its brand and projects” for its sales surge. Company updates highlight timely handovers (e.g. L’Avenir handing over 60% of units by Q2 2025). We found no media reports of widespread delivery delays or litigation by buyers. On the contrary, Sabbour’s track record of delivered phases (e.g. Green Square) is presented positively. (No independent forum or consumer sources were found; thus, the picture is based on official reporting.)

Figure: Ahmed Sabbour, Chairperson and Managing Director of Al Ahly Sabbour Developments. Sabbour is consistently portrayed as one of Egypt’s leading developers. It has won multiple industry awards and served as a sponsor of major events (e.g. gold sponsor of the UN World Urban Forum 12). Press releases and news profiles describe Sabbour as a pioneer with over 30 years of history in Egypt’s real estate market. Its brand is associated with large-scale, prestigious projects and innovation. Sabbour’s chairman Ahmed Sabbour was named “Most Influential Real Estate Leader Egypt 2024”. Investors cite the company’s broad land bank and diversified product mix (residential, commercial, tourism, sports clubs, etc.) as evidence of its strength. In summary, media and industry sources depict Sabbour as a financially stable, award-winning developer with a solid reputation.

Sabbour claims a focus on sustainability. Its developments incorporate “energy-efficient building materials, waste management, and water conservation” features. Official statements tie Sabbour’s vision to Egypt’s 2030 development strategy and long-term quality of life. For example, it describes its communities as balancing modern living with green amenities (parks, pedestrian zones). Specific smart-home or eco-technology details are scarce in press reports, but Sabbour’s own materials highlight green spaces and master-planned utilities. (No third-party certification or awards for sustainability were found.)
