    According to Law No. (7) of 2006, Real Property is defined as anything that is fixed and cannot be moved without sustaining damage or an alteration to its structure. This includes the land itself and any fixed structures constructed upon it. The definition is central to the legal framework, as it determines which assets must be recorded in the Real Property Register. All dispositions creating, transferring, or extinguishing rights in these fixed assets must be registered to be effective against third parties.
