Did you have a look at Cairo at all or are you happy to stick with this route?

Hi Awahee
I did first look into having furniture shipped to Cairo.But from Hampshire where i live,the quickest,cheapest route was into Alexandria,as there are regular shipments from Southampton.

I"m not sure if it was worth it(ask me again in April when i go to Hurghada in anticipation of receiving my furniture all safe and sound!!)
So far,it has been no hassle and stress free.But it will be at sea for 14 days,so anything could happen yet!!!!! fingers crossed eh?!

Hi all

When I was looking at property in Hurghada one the agents gave me the website address of where they get their furniture from. The showroom is in Cairo but they will shortly be opening a store in Hurghada. I've looked at their website and seen the furniture in a show room and it looks lovely and I am considering buying all my furniture from them.

Unfortunately it will not allow me to post the website address, but the shop is called tagoury and if you add a dot com to the end of it you should find it ok.

Hope this helps

HI - Tagourys House is now open in Sharm. Here is their website
TAGOURY

I have been advised that the showroom in Nabq will deliver immediately and everything is in stock. Hopefully this will apply for the one in Hurghada as well.

If anyone visits it and has the time can they possibly see if there is a pricelist in store

They advised me that there is a sale on this month. Item number 21 in the sofa section - the sofabed in the bamboo section is 9600le - quite expensive but different and very nice.

If there is something on the website that you like you can email them to ask the price - they responded back to me very quickly ( within the hour ) which impressed me as others that I have emailed in Egypt have not even bothered responding.

Email address is m.tagoury@gmail.com
Thanks

I only paid 1500€ for it three years ago so the duty shouldn't be too bad. Any thoughts? It would be perfect for Hurghada. Also any thoughts about a possible route from Spain; I've been told driving to Italy and then a ferry to either Alexandria or Tunisia is the best bet?

Hi Peter,

Not looked into it but will have a try.

Love to have my Rav4 over we could do jeep rides lol

So if you see 2 lost and lonely souls wandering the streets of Hurghada about that time........then it didn"t arrive!!

I bought my furniture for my 1 bed apartment in uk for £2000,all colour co-ordinated and lots of home comforts and frilly bits! (as we wont be renting out) the shipping costs are just under £2000.So for me,this was the best option,and it meant that i wouldn"t be wasting valuable sunbathing time dragging round the Egyptian furniture shops in the heat!!

Fingers crossed that it all arrives safely and doesn"t fall off the cargo ship on route!

Hope you all find the furniture you"re looking for!
See you on April 24th!

Hi Dave
I went with "Purvers International" and its costing £1888.00.(they undercut "pickfords international" twice!!) So don"t accept the first quote you get! the size of consignment was 300 cub ft. But this price included them doing a full pack and wrap,and door to door delivery.(not curbside) There are shipping companies that just deliver to Alexandria,but none of the ones that i contacted had any experience of Egypt.So allthough that option was quite a bit cheaper,their lack of experience put me off!
All the shipping documents and arrival time at Alexandria will be posted to me within the next week.Its only been at sea for 4 days! But when i have all the documents i will be able to track the shipping movements.

Hope this helps
Karen
