Introduction
In today’s dynamic real estate landscape, few names stand out as strongly as Mohamed Ahmed Fouad Amin—a seasoned expert, valuer, and thought-leader whose experience spans across the UAE, Egypt, and Tunisia. With nearly two decades in the industry, Mohamed has built a reputation for his deep market insights, his ability to bridge regional and international perspectives, and his distinctive personal brand of professionalism.

Estate Magazine: Mr. Mohamed, how do you evaluate the performance of the real estate sector in the first half of this year?

Mohamed Ahmed Fouad Amin: The first half of the year has shown strong resilience in the real estate market, especially in the UAE. Demand for both residential and commercial properties remained high, supported by population growth, foreign investment, and government-led initiatives. What is particularly notable is the continued appetite for off-plan projects, which reflects investors’ trust in the long-term stability of the market.

Estate Magazine: Do you see differences in performance between the UAE and other regional markets such as Egypt or Tunisia?

Mohamed Ahmed Fouad Amin: Yes, there are clear differences. The UAE market remains the most mature and internationally driven, while Egypt, for instance, witnessed challenges related to currency fluctuations and inflation. Tunisia, on the other hand, is a promising market but still at an early stage in terms of attracting global investors. Each market has its own dynamics, but the common denominator is that real estate continues to be a safe haven, even during uncertain economic times.

Estate Magazine: Many observers talk about the role of developers. How do you evaluate their performance in this period?

Mohamed Ahmed Fouad Amin: Developers have become more innovative in both design and payment plans. In Dubai, for example, we see flexible installment schemes, branded residences, and mixed-use communities designed to offer more than just a home. However, it is also clear that only serious and well-capitalized developers will survive in the long run. Investors today are more educated and cautious, and they prefer to work with developers who have a proven track record.

Estate Magazine: Many of our readers often ask about the secret behind your elegant appearance in business meetings and public events. Which brand do you usually wear, and how do you maintain this image?

Mohamed Ahmed Fouad Amin: Elegance has always been part of how I present myself professionally. For many years, I have chosen Pierre Cardin as my preferred brand. And in the past four years, my experience became even more personalized thanks to Mr. Moustafa Assy at the Ajman City Centre branch. He always keeps me updated with the latest collections, recommends styles that match my personality, and represents the brand with professionalism and care. His role has made my journey with Pierre Cardin not just about clothing, but about maintaining a consistent and confident image in every professional setting.

Estate Magazine: Finally, what is your outlook for the second half of the year?

Mohamed Ahmed Fouad Amin: I believe momentum will continue, particularly in Dubai, which remains one of the most attractive real estate destinations worldwide. We will see more international investors, stronger regulations protecting buyers, and innovative projects setting new benchmarks. I am optimistic that the second half of the year will bring even more opportunities for those who understand how to navigate the market wisely.
