No idea - because I misunderstood the ramifications of Ramadan and the fact that no one works for another week after the holiday is over, I ended up having to make all my meetings on the last day I was in the town, so most of them only lasted 45 minutes, which wasn't enough to get into legal details with anyone.

I think the problems are something to do with the fact that there are laws to say that you have to build on a certain percentage of the land over a certain time period before you're allowed to build on the rest of it. But I might be wrong - I'm no developer.

I was just on the phone with Amanda from Egypt Uncovered and one thing we agreed upon is the insane behaviour of people who buy in Egypt without taking legal advice.

You're only talking GBP300-500 so it's not going to break the bank.
