But have to make sure that my son can still get decent schooling when it's time for him to start in about a year. Also are there any good nurseries?

I went around the El Gouna school today for the first time with the Headmistress Mrs Bolton. I was very impressed. I hope my eldest son will go there in September into year 4 if the wife can be persuaded to leave cairo. Facilities were just as good as at BISC and they have a huge swimming pool. Mrs Bolton seems a traditional educationalist which I like. Fees are much less than BISC in Cairo which is a help too. Details on their website I expect.They have a nursery in the school as well which looked good. Most teachers are english and follow the UK curriculam. I suggest you visit the school and make your own judgement but I think it is a very good selling point for Gouna to have a good school on site. I understand that there are about 400 students of which 200 odd are bussed in from Hurghada each day presumably because its better than whats available in Hurghada.
I havent had reason to visit the hospital yet in Gouna but I understand thats pretty good too by all accounts.
Good luck with your property search
