Didn't see you Queenie! I was there throughout on the Resort Alliance Stand. We won best stand over 50 metres in the show! (Sahl hasheesh)

Looks like my hunch was spot on.

My publisher just told me this morning that A Place In The Sun Magazine are running a feature on Hurghada in their April issue.

They've requested a copy of the book, so hopefully it will get a mention.

Things are sure going to get crazy in Hurghada by the middle of the year once Joe Public catches on, so there's no time to lose for getting in there now.

I know that there was an article in the Daily Mail a couple of month's back about that boxer, Steve Cazaghe (don't know if that's how you spell his name - not into boxing!) buying in Regency Towers.

We also know that there is a piece in the Daily Telegraph coming soon.

I thought that it would be a good idea to start a thread where we can all post any information on mass media reports on the market - either those that have appeared or that we know will appear.

Then we will all have a better idea as to when to expect the hordes to be on their way.

i was looking in a mag last week on property it also had the article on Joe Calzaghe buying in Regency Towers it was on about sharm not being free hold and says that El-Goona property is also not i will find out the name of the mag next time i go to town also Egypt was on the news bbc today about Arabs mass crossing at the border what was closed to buy supplies

How do you think the militants who are part of a Terrorist organization blowing the wall between Gaza and Egypt will affect your "Mainstreaming"? You may be having terrorists walking around you right now. This has to do with "MEDIA WATCH" because I read this Yesterday in the News at three different places.

I wouldn't consider purchasing anything in the Mid East under any circumstances. That is the biggest gamble and I would rather go to a Race Track and let my girfriend pick the horse by the color of it's ASS

You folks have big balls in my opinion and Courageous is an understatement, but good luck and I wish you well in your investments!

They bulldozed the fence that Egypt put up and many Policemen were injured and one shot...

"Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, in an interview to be published on Saturday, urged Hamas and Abbas's Fatah to end their differences and invited both sides to meet."

So basically you have a problem in a neighbouring country which is 500 miles away from the major resorts in the country and the President of Egypt is trying to stop Israelis and Palestinians from squabbling.

I take it that you haven't actually been to Sharm or Hurghada to check out either resorts for yourself?

The Giza strip is nowhere near Hurghada and Sharm and this will not affect tourists aor buyers.
