Or do I use a lawyer of my own.
One who is conversant in Egyptian law and English speaking.
If it is better to us my own lawyer how do i find a good one?
any help much appreciated .

Why would you do anything different to buying in the UK.
There are pros and cons for spending money on lawyers.
Sometimes you just need a "warm" feeling - other times you may have great doubts that need to be addressed.
Best thing is to get to a position where you have a good contract, have confirmed that everything is "as stated on the tin", and that you have a high level of confidence in the developer (not relying on any intermediatary).
At the end of the process it's the developer that will "do the job or not", and nothing that an agent or lawyer, or court can do will ever give you total satisfaction once you "fall out".
