Yep and also 50000 egp in bank.

I am lucky because i am doing mine as a foreign office to Irish company so only need 5000 but alot of red tape.

What is your email i will send you a doc i got from them explaining all and the taxes.

Our saving grace is that we r coming under an established UK/egyptian company.

A good idea to think about.

Wine is very, very expensive but you can buy a wine box in Gatwick duty free and take it with you.

You missed the best of it.

It was my 30th on sat 10th may, so we we out for dinner on thurs (08)

Since it was my birthday I treated myself (sorry hubby treated me) to a bottleof wine.

The meal was but there was no way i was going to drink the entire bottle.

Took the bottle home but half way home the bag broke and the bottle feel out and smashed on the ground. Disaster!!!!!!!!!

Great photos. Looks as though you are having a great time in El Gouna. We have had good feelings about the town also and that is why we will be moving from Cairo to El Gouna at the end of the month and not returning to the UK.
We are packing up our apartment in Cairo at the moment and can't wait to get to El Gouna.
