Here is the Marsa thread http://www.propertycommunity.com/forum/egypt...arsa-alam.html this one also includes Marsa http://www.propertycommunity.com/forum/egypt...arsa-alam.html or could be this one http://www.propertycommunity.com/forum/egypt...nderstand.html - there was something in the legal thread about not buying in Dahab from memory I believe it was because of land issues and ownership with the Bediouns.
Here is the page form the legal thread http://www.propertycommunity.com/forum/egypt...y-egypt-4.html

Hi Andy

Thanks for the advice. I guess for someone who has not as yet been out there it's difficult to judge it. (of course only a trip will tell me for sure)
Some of the resort developments look fantastic and of course i would expect things to be a bit like a building site in the early stages. Just wondering if it is a good place to take children ? Is there much to do outside the resorts ? Are the facilities in the resorts going to be up to scratch ?
It sounds like you are happy with your apartment which is good and with Hurghada itself.
Anyone know where i can get some recent pics of Hurghada town ?

Jon

Just be careful about those bronzed bodies! depends on whom they belong to!! those beautiful, young egyptians will soon be expressing their undying love (personal experience!!)

We found a really good taxi driver who spoke good English and didn't think he was a formula 1 driver! He took me shopping quite a few times and came into the shops and translated for me. I have his mobile number so let me know if you want it when you go out there he was really good.

Hi Sharon, Thank you that sounds like our sort of place. And we probaly will take his number. Im so glad to have found this forum, everyone on here is so helpful and friendly.
Thanks again.
