hi Essam,

There's so much to take into account when buying abroad. Many people would prefer to buy in a more established area where they can access plenty of information and advice from others that have bought there. There are investors prepared to take a bigger risk for a bigger return, I'm just not one of them. Agreed about the terrorism point - most of us on the forum agree I think, but I just feel that Taba is too close to the border. I lived in Saudi Arabia a few years ago when bombings were becoming quite regular - my son's school was actually bombed (thankfully he wasn't in it), so I know that terrorism happens everywhere. We have limited funds to invest and we want to take as few risks as possible. There will many that disagree I'm sure
