The Republic of Egypt is steeped in history which includes one of the great wonders of the world, the Pyramids. Today the country has a booming tourist industry and is expaning the coastal tourism resorts – catering for holidaymakers from all over the world, looking to spend time enjoying the great climate and hospitality of its people.

Successful tourism markets tend to directly drive hot property markets – we’ve been particularly excited by one of Egypt’s modern day hotspots: Hurghada, on the red sea coast.

Hurghada, a former fishing harbour and now a lively tourist resort that stretches some 15 miles or so along the waterfront, is one of the foremost areas for water sports, lies along the Red Sea coast, along with the quieter Marsa Alam, where tourism is just starting to make an impact. Hurghada has been home to fishing communities for centuries and remained unchanged until the 1990s when tourism discovered this idyllic village with wide stretches of beach that followed the coastline for miles, and a sea that is safe and ideal for water sports.

Today it is a busy, sprawling town divided into two main areas, the old town Ad-Dahar to the north, and Sigala to the south. Each affords a wide range of hotels, restaurants catering for all tastes and tourist attractions.

Before we offer you a unique insight into the reasons for buying property in Hurghada, here are some general facts about Egypt:

We didn’t choose Hurghada as a great place for buying property: Hurghada chose us!
Why? Because it ticks all the right boxes as a lifestyle and investment choice for property buyers:

The obvious draw to Hurghada is the great pricing on off-plan property. The old saying “you get what you pay for” does not apply here – you get a great deal more!
Where in the world can you buy a property for less than £20,000 / 30,000 euros?
And where can you buy such a property in a warm climate, near the beach with top class amenities? Hurghada.

The town is less than 6 minutes from Hurghada International Airport, which receives direct flights from the UK along with excellent connections via Cairo.

Greeted by the warm rays of the sun, tempered by the refreshingly cool sea breeze, Hurghada welcomes you from the first moment of arrival.

Everything in the town is within easy reach. Journey time from the airport to your accommodation is likely to be less than 10 minutes. Hotel accommodation is of a very high standard – 5 star beachfront hotel rooms are available from just £50 per night.

Sun-worshippers may wish to spend time relaxing by one of the many feature swimming pools, or indeed on the beach, with the cool Red Sea lapping away at your feet.

For the more adventurous – a whole host of leisure activities at there to enjoy, which include:

Golfers will be delighted to know that there are several courses in the area, including a full 18 hole course at El Gouna and a floodlit par 3 course in Hurghada itself.
Also on offer are a variety of exciting day trips and activities including a fabulous Glass Bottomed Boat trip, Desert Trekking and off-roading.

Bars and restaurants are located on nearly every corner, catering for all tastes including Indian, Chinese, Italian, Moroccan and, of course, British food for the homesick! Local Egyptian cuisine is also very tasty, with a 3 course meal and wine/beer easily available for less than £5 per person.

The healthy tourist market in Hurghada ensures that holidaymakers and permanent residents are never in short supply. This has provided an excellent base for commerce in the region, with may popular franchises operating in the town, including:

Of course there are too many familiar names to list them all, plus a plentiful selection of not-so-familiar names, offering all conceivable goods and services that may be required.

Nearby El Gouna is just 30 minutes away – this high end resort boasts its own golf course and waterways, surrounded by huge luxury villas and apartments. The focal point of El Gouna is the beautiful marina, buzzing with luxury yachts, restaurants & bars, boutiques and top quality hotels.

We look forward to showing you the area in person – it will be an exciting experience which we are confident you will enjoy.
