Hello Ryan and welcome to the forum. I've moved your new thread to this one where I think you'll find some answers to your questions. We've had many new members over these last few months and they might like to add their recommendations to this thread and give you an even better idea.
George is right in that you don't need to use a UK based agent in order to buy in Egypt. I live in Bahrain and am buying in Hurghada which is where my agent is based. Your first port of call of course, is to get out and see the areas for yourself before you make any decisions. Most of the agents - and all that post on this forum - will find out your exact requirements and gladly show you everything you need to see without pressure.
There is an enormous amount of information on this forum and if you need any help finding it please just give one of the mods a shout - myself, Alison (queenie40something) and Lyndsay. The latter two have jetted off to Egypt for the week though so it's just me for now
Very best wishes
Linda
