Hi All,

Well as some of you know I am seriously considering leaving Portugal to start my new life in Egypt (Hurghada)

I am just trying to get some figures together on a few before I make my trip out in September and any help on this would be useful.

I know this might be merged with another thread that was started sometime ago but I wanted to know if new cars/MPV's are much more expensive to buy in Egypt than say the UK and if anyone has any examples or experiences they can share with me. I would also consider leasing a vehicle.

I get the impression that importing a car is also not an option as the taxes are ridiculously high or am I wrong?

I understand that they have to be modified to incorporate different octane levels but I really have no idea what this means and wether or not it effects the price of the car.

I am interested to know if there are any Mercedes, VW, Citroen or Renault Main Dealers in Hurghada or do you have to go to Cairo.

Thanks in Advance
