You're correct in observing that gold prices in Egypt have experienced a significant surge since December 2022. Here's a detailed comparison between gold and real estate investments in Egypt over the past year:

===== - December 2022: The price of 24K gold was approximately '''EGP 1,424.50 per gram''' on December 1, 2022. Bullion Rates<ref>{{cite web|title=Bullion Rates|url=https://www.bullion-rates.com/gold/EGP/2022-12-history.htm|publisher=Bullion Rates|access-date=2025-11-12}}</ref> =====

* April 2025: As of April 1, 2025, the price had risen to around '''EGP 5,072.59 per gram'''. Bullion Rates<ref>{{cite web|title=Bullion Rates|url=https://www.bullion-rates.com/gold/EGP/2025-4-history.htm|publisher=Bullion Rates|access-date=2025-11-12}}</ref>

This represents an increase of approximately '''256%''' over this period.

===== - Commercial Real Estate: Between 2023 and 2024, commercial and administrative real estate prices in Egypt increased by '''20% to 40%'''. This rise was driven by factors such as higher construction costs, exchange rate liberalization, increased bank interest rates, and growing demand for commercial properties that offer recurring monthly returns for investors.
