No I've only ever been to Sharm actually. I know there is little there at present, but understand the airport is being extended & it seems lots of developments springing up - so wondering if it would be a good bet longer term. I believe theres an unused road between Marsa Alam & Luxor, which if ever opened would mean a 2 hour coach trip to Luxor. IF that ever happened then Marsa Alam would become really attractive.
With this development giving a guaranteed rental for 5 years, I was considering taking a punt on it becoming more than just diving site in years to come. Thats what happened to Sharm isn't it? Could it happen again? Like I say, I'm no expert, just been watching market for a year or so & teetering..........
So any opinions gratefully received.
