Default How realistic is moving to Hurghada

I am thinking of moving to Hurghada. I make my living on the internet at the moment so feel I would have a much better standard of living out here.

If I decided to move out here does anyone know what the taxation situation would be?

Also if I decided to supplement my income by getting work locally what are the restrictions for foreigners and is work for English only speakers available?

In a similar way, if I spotted a business opportunity how easy is it for foreigners to set up a business?

I apologise if these questions have been raised previously, I have been through many many threads and have not seen them covered.

I'm sure retired/self sufficient people have a wonderful life in Hurghada, but is it realistic for a non Arabic speaker who needs to earn money?

Thanks in advance for all replies.

Regards

Mike
