Details

Land ownerships are registered by the Egyptian Survey Authority (www.esa.gov.eg), however, they do not make such data available to the public. It is not available online, and according to its law (http://bit.ly/1hNXtGG) and the forms submitted (http://bit.ly/1iemT0b) only owner of a land or his legal representatives can get the ownership documents of the land. We were not able to find any means for the public to request lists of lands and their owners.

P.S. The website (www.esa.gov.eg) is down, and we used the cached version by Google for our research.
