CAIRO — Egypt is currently planning to sell land plots allocated for cemeteries, priced in dollars, as part of efforts to make up for the decline of foreign currency revenues in recent years.
On June 6, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Communities put up cemetery lands for sale for Egyptians living abroad in four new cities — New Cairo, Badr City, 10th of Ramadan City and New October City — as part of the eighth phase of the Beit al-Watan project, which consists of developing land plots in various new urban communities in Egypt.
