Those will be delivered fully-finished in three years, and 25 percent of their price has to be paid over 12 installments starting January 2022. The period between one installment and the other is three months; then, the rest will be paid over 30 years.  

 

Speaking of eligibility conditions for low-income and middle-income citizens, the maximum annual income for a single person within the former bracket has to be LE54,000, and LE72,000 for the family. As for the latter, it is LE120,000 per a single person, and LE168,000 per a family.
