Hi Elaine - your welcome. The cheapest option would be to rent a private apartment for the month but saying that you can get some cheap hotels. I have booked Tropican Rosetta which is really central and a good location in Naama Bay see this map for the location Sharm El Sheikh Street Map for 2 sharing b and b I managed to get it for just £8 each per night. I think if you are house hunting Naama bay would be a good base as you are near to Real Estate offices and they will pick you up and take you to various developments. There are some nice developments here and Sunny Lakes is not too far up the road - google for information. This development is quite advanced in the building stage. You may want to consider a development that is already established like Delta Sharm. This is gated and is very big - like a village again google as they have their own website. I know someone selling a 1 and 2 bedroom on here but cant remember the prices. What you need to do is have a good look when you are out there. If you are buying off plan find out as much as you can about the developer and ask what other resorts he has built. Get a good lawyer such as Zeiad who is in Naama bay and a trusted agent as well. He will recommend some that he has dealt with so knows how they work and if they are trustworthy. Nabq may be a little too quiet for you to live in but it is only 20 mins from Naama. Delta is about 10 mins from Naama and is in the area of Hadaba. You can ( if fit and not too hot ) walk from Sunny Lakes into Naama - this was our 1st choice in Sharm but over our budget.
Would love to meet for a meal or a drink - keep those questions coming!!
I also know a female English taxi driver so let me know if you need to arrange airport pick ups etc. She is really good and knows where the passport office and notary is in El Tor.
Hope this helps

..sorry this may help Naama Bay holiday apartments - Holiday accommodation in Naama Bay, Egypt - Book direct to give you an idea of what is available to rent and where. But it will be cheaper for you to rent from a local agent or privately. There are studios at Hay El Nour for 1800le a month which is less than £180, I have seen a 1 bed with pool in Naama for 2500le a month. Criss Residence is right in Naama bay and these go for about 2500/2700 per month and these would be ideal to rent for your stay due to the location. I have a map of some developments so let me know if you want it.

Morning Linda - I am still half asleeep LOL. It is lovely to have a few more Sharmers on board to keep me on my toes with lots of questions.

Have you counted how many there are? As I said before, when I joined the Egypt forum a few months ago, you were the only one. We have to be in double figures at least now.

Swanski is currently viewing property in Sharm I believe, Kerry and Elaine are considering and will soon be in Sharm, Mark2454 was also considering and moving out with his family, Brian and Colleen from the expat site have bought and now live at Paradise Hills at Nabq also Gary Lockwood is moving over with his family ( they are going over in May to sort out schools and apartment hoping to move in September ) Simon has bought in Sharks Bay, Stirrup Cottage was considering, myself, StuandChelle, Iain, Jaytee, Anita, TonyHoltom, Marc and Martine, Vidawho ( Lynn and Ryan ) that have bought on Sierra. So there are quite a few Sharmers now.

If I have forgotten anyone I do apologise and please make a post. If there are any guests out there please join and let us know where in Sharm you have bought.

There are a few private sales on Delta Sharm and to give you an idea they are around 32K for 85m2 1 bed furnished - studios go for about 23K( this resort has everything and is like a village - gated and has over 10 pools, banks, shops, bars gym etc etc ) Roman Theatre - 1 bed go for about 43K ( have use of pool ) you can get a small studio at Hay El Nour furnished with air con for £17,500 ( no pool ) a 1 bed furnished in Hadaba will be about 26K furnished - I have even seen a 2 bed furnished one in Hadaba for 24K!! Hope this gives you an idea.
If you have any pics of it you can post I might be able to tell you where it is.

Hi
