I think that people who are nervous that Hurghada is getting over-priced and over-developed should compare prices with Cape Verde, which I think is a pretty good comparison, as they both provide year round sun and are both the same distance from the UK (five hours flight).
If you take a look, you will see that prices in Cape Verde are already well above Sahl Hasheesh levels, even though I hear that the infrastructure on most of the islands is still very primitive.
Some people are worried that there aren't enough flights into Hurghada should bear in mind that Cape Verde investors are all going crazy with excitement because finally there is going to be one direct flight from the UK now - previously the only way of getting there at all was via Lisbon.
And whereas Hurghada is only 4-5 hours away from most of Europe - London, Stockholm and Moscow - for the rest of Europe, Cape Verde is a seriously longhaul flight away.
I'll take Sahl Haseesh, El Gouna or downtown Hurghada over Cape Verde any day.
