Hi Merkat - Egypt is really safe to walk out and about on your own. The crime rate is very low.

We prefer Sharm and have bought in the up and coming area of Nabq. It is 99 yr lease in Sharm but dont let that put you off as when you sell the new buyer just applies and is granted a new 99 yr lease for £1000.

The cost of living is really low as well. There are so many excellent developments out there and dont forget it is sunshine all year round ( more or less ). This makes rental very attractive. Also whether you are in Sharm or Hurghada the flight to see the ancient wonders in Luxor and Cairo is only 50 mins and the prices can be as little as £30 return. This also makes it attractive to potential holiday makers wanting to rent as they can have the best of both worlds sun, sea and ancient wonders. The snorkelling and scuba diving is amazing.

If there is anything at all you need to know please ask.

Regards

Alison
