Peter has "touched" on some of the principles for you but my first question is why are you looking at ANY overseas investment at all.
There are lots of reasons why YOU should not "invest" in Eypgt, which you must consider before looking for the positives.
It's good to see that you are using at least source of help (this forum) but be aware that those of us that reply probably have a vested interest in what we are saying, which is no different to an Estate Agent in the UK.
You need to step back and consider your whole investment strategy before you even consider this market.
If you are already "well covered" with other safe investments and can afford a bit more risk in your portfolio (bag of investments that means) then MAYBE look at overseas property.
If you still want this market then decide how much risk you are willing to take. As with all investments you need to set your risk reward level to a point where you are comfortable.
Egypt is currently seen as an "emerging market", that means the risks are relatively high compared to other countries, but that the potential is better for medium to long term returns on an investment.
More to follow in the next chapter !!!
