In Sahl Hasheesh the land was purchased by the Egyptian Resort Company and a town planning consultant from the UK was brought in to draw up the Master Plan. Every plot was then sold and plans were then submitted to the ERC and then to the local council for approval. There is then a system of checking to ensure building is in line with the consent given. The final receipt for the property is then registered with the local authority and Notarised at a cost of around 250k sterling (2500 Egyptian).
This seems to be a good workaround in the absence of a formal registration authority; what do others think of this?

Hi Peter, this is right, since Sahl Hashesh lies out of the geographical zone of the prime minister's degree, and consequently adhere to the normal registration process, after fulfilling the governorate requirements which differ from a governorate to another, but eventually, you CAN register your property there.
