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

a close friend has an apartment - we used it and loved the place. We like the sunshine and have always wanted our own place in the sun.
The people made up our minds, their temperment and cultural upbringing coupled with the fab diving convinced us to buy.
We have friends on the complex and we have decided to buy a studio apartment at £26k- we want it as a holiday get away and felt if anything went wrong its not the end of the world at this price.
im now worried that we should have looked at hurghada however we have been to the complex 3 times and already have friends in the community so we felt it was right.
Have always gone with my feelings and it felt right.
Just reading since leaves a little concern on future for sharm development and possible consequences for long term re-sale due to 99 year lease.
thanks for your reply.

Hi and thanks for your reply too!!

yes, im really taken by the cultural trappings too .. when we were leaving we were in the bar shook hands with everyone there and a guy came running out who we had been speaking to and embraced in the egyptian way . i was all emotianal lol. Its just a very civilised place with lovely people and some fantastic scenery

glad you are being entertained aswell as informed..


its on from 6pm to early hours in my household

making the time go quicker in between our apartment being ready next year

I see your flu hasn't cleared up Jeremy. We'll miss you when it does! (though I hope that you're better and back to work soon).

[Jeremy Sturgess]

Feeling much better today thank you

Dawn
