What is Qatari Diar?
Qatari Diar Real Estate Investment Company is a real-estate developer founded in 2005 and owned by the Qatar Investment Authority, the sovereign wealth fund of the State of Qatar. It is headquartered north-east of Doha on the Arabian Gulf coast, with shared capital of $8.1 billion. For readers asking who owns Qatari Diar, the Qatari Diar owner is the Qatar Investment Authority; this profile explains what is Qatari Diar and how the company operates in Egypt. Qatar Diar is a common shortened reference to this Qatari Diar company. Its home country is Qatar, while the Qatari Diar Egypt projects portfolio is presented separately below so the company, its owner and its Egyptian developments remain distinct.
How large is the global portfolio?
The combined value of the company's investments and assets under management is around $35 billion. The number of projects and countries differs between the company's own two official sources, so both figures are shown together.

Why two figures? Both sources are official and both belong to the company, and neither explains the gap. Showing one figure here would have meant making a choice no evidence supports, so both appear with their sources.
How big is the company's activity in Egypt?
The company holds more than 40 million square metres of land in Egypt and puts its investment in the Egyptian real-estate sector since 2006 at $3.1 billion on its official site, spread across four announced projects in Cairo, 6th of October and the north coast.
That last figure predates the $29.7 billion Alam Al Roum deal, whose first cash instalment of $3.5 billion was paid in December 2025, which means the company's Egyptian commitment has multiplied well beyond it.
- Alam Al Roum — north coast — 20.58 million sqm — under development
- City Gate — New Cairo — 8.5 million sqm — under construction
- NEWGIZA — 6th of October — 6.3 million sqm — phases 1-3 complete
- The St. Regis Cairo — Nile corniche — 9,360 sqm — completed
What is the delivery record?
The clearest evidence of the delivery record in Egypt is two projects: The St. Regis Cairo and Residences, officially "completed", and NEWGIZA, "phases 1-3 completed", the only two that have moved past the announcement stage.
Lusail City in Qatar is the company's first project, launched in December 2005 and described on the official site as the largest single development in the State of Qatar. Those three together are what the developer's capability can actually be measured against, unlike projects still at master-plan stage.
What is Lusail City and why is it always cited?
Lusail City is Qatari Diar Real Estate Investment Company's first project, launched in December 2005, the same year the company was founded, and described on the official site as the largest single development undertaken in the State of Qatar.
Lusail appears in every profile of the company because it defines the kind of thing it builds: not residential compounds but whole cities with a master plan and phases spanning years. That is the same model applied in Egypt to Alam Al Roum, across 20.58 million square metres with a development period of about 15 years.
It also explains the length of the timetables: a project measured in millions of square metres is not delivered in one go, which is why phases and their share of the total are announced instead of a single handover date.
