Thanks, investor27 thats interesting.

I was investing about £117k on a 3 bed penthouse on Tanjah, but for several reasons decided a 2 bed on Tinjah for about £100k would be better. I didnt mind this reduction in size as I thought the proven developer probably made up for that. If you're correct price-wise this equates to only a 1 bed on Al Houarah.

Tanjah appears reasonably priced (if the quality etc is to be believed) and I believe Tinja should be more expensive and it seems from my research that Emaar did want to be, but were persuaded the market wasnt there for this. Qatari Diar obviously believe it is. Perhaps the Tinja delay is due to waiting for these prices ?

What is the 5th resort is on this stretch? PBGR, Tinjah, Al Houara, Tanjah.

I agree that the best (safer, guaranteed) buys now are probably the Kings Plan resorts, they will have to be built on time and built well. But after 2010, say 2015, surely all resorts will stand or fall on their own merits. Or do you still think that tourists and then resales still prefer the Plan Azur resorts ?

Thanks for your thoughts.
