Hi Julie

Welcome - I'm a UK developer with a small block of apartments in Hurghada.

my partner lives in Hurghada and he's always keen to help with local contacts etc.

Lots to read on the forum - have you tried using the "search" function yet enter key words - you should be able to use it to find "stuff" thats been covered before.

Hi!
I am 50, married and living in the midlands. I have 2 sons and a daughter - all of whom have moved back down South. We love Egypt - my husband is a very keen diver (say no more!) and I am a sun worshipper. We have just decided to invest in a property off-plan at the Marsa Alam Beach Resort. It looks to be a good opportunity to get in to an up-and-coming area which offers good diving (vitally important!). We already own a studio apartment in Winter Park, Colorado which caters for our other passion - skiing!!

just wondered if anyone has some veiws over the prospects in sharm due to the 99 year lease.
we just want a small holiday flat with sunshine and feel its ideal.

Still in deposit only stage so would welcome some veiws and comments.

hi

welcome and congrats on your purchase... i am not sure how the freehold works in hurghada or how leasehold works in sharm.. i thought that freehold meant land also .. there are many who can help you out on here!! having been to both hurghada and sharm personally i prefer hurghada due to its size and more extensive facilities.

what exactly have you bought and what drew you to egypt apart from yearround sunshine??
