Furniture in Egypt

[queenie40something]

Hi all due to rising costs in Egypt Idea4furniture are increasing their prices from Aug so suggest if you are going to use them to start ordering now to secure the old price. It will rise from £3900 to £4500 for the 1 bed package.

Here are some more that Mostafa has taken of another apartment that he has just furnished on Sierra

Hi Alison,

You have rly put my mind at ease in buying in Nabq bay & not just going for Naama Bay.

Do you have any contact details at all for Tarek (i think that was the name of the developer??)

Hi Abir - you found us then.

Welcome aboard. If you need any help navigating the forum give me or Linda ( Lsab ) a shout. I sent you the links to Sierra but there is this one on Sharm http://www.propertycommunity.com/forum/egypt...ing-sharm.html
Also an Intro thread where you can read about other buyers and maybe post a little about yourself http://www.propertycommunity.com/forum/egypt...oductions.html

We have a few members that are Egyptian or have Egyptian connections - my fellow mod Linda has been happily married to her Egyptian hubby for 20yrs or so.

Please dont hesitate to post anything and dont worry if you think it sounds silly as it wont to us lol xx

Regards

Alison

Hi Leo TBH Egyptian towels and bed linen are quite expensive in Egpyt as they tend to make to export You are better off taking with you. I have bought some lovely sets from Primark and Matalan sell really good value Egyptian cotton sets.
I bought pillow and mattress protectors really cheaply from Primark.

The best towels are 100% natural, untreated, organically cultivated Egyptian cotton towels and bathrobes and bath slippers produced by a company called Nefertari. They are sold in the pharmacies in El Gouna and a large bath towel costs around LE80.

Upstairs in Abu Ashara Family Market in Hurghada inbetween Sakalla and Downtown sells Egyptian cotton sheets in many different colours plus pillows, duvets, etc. I think the king size sheets are around LE100 and excellent. They also have towels and my friend bought some big blue and white stripped ones for LE40 each.
