Rossantony: I don’t wish to dwell on the bombings as my point was that tourism wasn’t hit badly by it. I have however pasted two links beneath that provide information on bombings in recent times - Dahab in 2006 being the latest.

Terrorism in Egypt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
History of terrorism against tourists in Egypt, 1992 to present. (Surprisingly doesn’t mention Dahab 2006.)

Its certainly encouraging that the bombings are taking place less frequently.

How have prices for existing property (not off-plan) faired in your part of Egypt over the last 2 or 3 years?

I’m perhaps being pedantic, but when you say the crime rate is almost 0% I think you actually mean that there is very little recorded crime. I’m always sceptical with crime figures, no matter what area they are for. There are many crimes that the victims are too embarrassed or scared to report. Some authorities are more lax about recording crimes and what counts as crime varies from place to place.
