Qatari Diar, the real estate investment arm of the Qatar Investment Authority, is financing a $3.5 billion mixed-use tourism development at Alam El-Roum on Egypt’s Mediterranean coast, one of the transactions UNCTAD credited with lifting Egypt’s underlying 2025 FDI performance by roughly a quarter once the one-off $35 billion Ras El-Hekma deal is excluded. The project extends a broader pattern of Gulf sovereign capital — led by Abu Dhabi’s ADQ and Mubadala, Qatar’s QIA, and Saudi Arabia’s PIF — flowing into large-scale African real estate, tourism and infrastructure developments, positioning Gulf funds as an increasingly dominant source of non-Western capital for African megaprojects.
