Thank-you Vix for the story - now, this makes me really concerned.
I am a lawyer in Romania and plan to invest in Egypt (and possibly move there) and have read lots of posts and embassy info on purchasing property in Egypt - nothing like what you wrote, though.
Although I am adventurous, I tend to be careful with my hard-earned money, so it sounds like buying property - aside the inevitable bureaucracy and restrictions - is a very risky business.
Makes me think if it's worth trying in the first place.
