Ahmed El-Derbaly: A Strategic Mind Driving Real Estate Transformation in the Delta and Expanding into the Gulf
As Egypt’s real estate market undergoes rapid shifts and increasing demand for new urban communities, Ahmed El-Derbaly emerges as one of the leading figures in real estate marketing and consultancy in the Delta region, with over 12 years of experience in the field.
El-Derbaly has successfully combined strategic vision with a precise understanding of market needs, founding N&D Real Estate Marketing & Consultancy, a company that has become a standout name in Egypt’s real estate sector outside Greater Cairo.
The company recently announced the official launch of its operations across the Delta, setting an ambitious target of achieving over EGP 500 million in contracted sales during the second half of the year. This will be realized by offering a diverse portfolio of real estate projects in key cities and emerging urban communities across Egypt.
Ahmed El-Derbaly, Chairman of N&D, stated that the establishment of the company was a direct response to the growing purchasing power within the Delta, and the rising demand among clients to invest in prime destinations such as the New Administrative Capital, Ras El Hekma, Sheikh Zayed, New Cairo, and New Mansoura. The company currently markets more than 25 strategically located projects, offering Delta-based clients a wide range of options without the need to travel to Cairo.
More than just a brokerage, N&D provides comprehensive advisory services, helping clients choose the ideal unit that aligns with their aspirations and delivers maximum return on investment. This client-focused approach has positioned N&D as a trusted partner for a wide base of investors seeking safe and profitable opportunities.
In a bold move reflecting his regional ambitions, El-Derbaly recently announced the launch of his new venture, El-Derbaly Sports & Real Estate Marketing, based in Dubai, UAE—marking the first step in exporting his successful business model to the Gulf market, while addressing the growing demand from Egyptians living abroad.
El-Derbaly emphasized that the UAE office aims to serve Egyptian clients across the Gulf, providing them with smart real estate solutions that allow them to purchase properties in Egypt—especially in the Delta—remotely, with ease and flexibility, eliminating the need for travel. He described this move as a transformational step toward connecting the Egyptian real estate market with a wider regional client base.
Looking ahead, El-Derbaly revealed that the coming period will witness significant investments in key cities, particularly El-Mahalla El-Kubra and New Mansoura, through partnerships with Arab and Gulf-based entities that are actively exploring the Egyptian market. He added that the company is currently scouting for prime plots of land in these areas to develop fully integrated urban projects, based on well-studied plans that meet real market demand and align with the country’s urban expansion.
Ahmed El-Derbaly’s journey reflects a comprehensive vision, rooted in strategic expansion, deep market insight, and a commitment to delivering professional, high-return real estate products. Through N&D, he aims to foster a culture of smart real estate investment and to solidify the Delta’s position as a promising destination for both residential and commercial investments in Egypt.
