Moving to Sharm

[pole_mistress]

Hello everyone
Im hoping to move to Sharm have been 13 times over the past 5yrs on holiday. I particularly like Nabq Bay, can anyone recommend a complex with british holidaymakers/owners and have a rough idea of how much a 2 bed fairly new build would be.
Thanks in advance

Hi Pole_Mistress,

Nabq is my favourite part of Sharm too

There are three resorts I would recommend for finding other Brits, firstly Sharm Bride and Sierra. Majority of owners on both are British, and there are plenty in permanent residence too. Also both are an easy walk to shops etc and the Union Jack (British bar). The third resort would be Sharm Residence, plenty of Brits and good value 2 bed apartments to rent, but it's in the back so not such an easy walk to places, but fine if you will get a car.

For a two bed apartment you should look at paying 4000-4500 EGP. You may find rent prices now cheaper, like around 3500 EGP, but it all depends on the owner as some have dropped their rates and others haven't.

Just message me if you need any more specific info

Prices can range from 400-800,000 EGP depending entirely on where and what you want.

Hadaba is more of a residential area. Not my cup of tea, I prefer resorts. I like the AquaPark area and love Makani, but more than that you'd be better off finding out from someone who actually stays down that end. I lived in Hadaba for one month only over 4 years ago, things changed!!!!! Lol.

Thanks for that rough price idea Sam, its well below my spending limit (divorce settlement ). Im heading out to Sharm in a few weeks, will probably head into naama bay to look in the estate agents to see what the prices are like for a smallish villa just to see if I could afford one instead of an apartment.

Hi there, If you get there and you like Sierra in Nabq, I know someone who has a top floor two bedroom apartment completed and ready for sale. Its not off plan which is the nice thing and the apartment has stunning views. If you are interested let me know and I will pass on his details to you.

Just a suggestion.....
Rent for a year before you buy! Living in Egypt is totally different to being on vacation!
I decided to rent for a year before I bought.... after a year I decided I didn't want to buy!
I lived and worked in Egypt for over 4 years, and happily rented.... kept my money at home in the UK, and was very happy I did!!

Everyone thinks they want to stay in Egypt forever..... but few do!!

very good advice indeed especially now the country is in a state of turmoil.....I also lived there for quite a few years and believe me it's the last place i would think of investing money in...rent then you have nothing to lose.

Stay away from Nabq Bay, it's turned into Beirut and esp stay away from the Sierra Resort in Nabq Bay it's plagued with problems and there are wild dogs that run loose on the night

Here is all the photographic evidence you need

The Nightmare called NABQ BAY Sharm el Sheikh

If your looking for a 2 bed choose somewhere residential close to Old Sharm or Hadaba, 2 bed no more than 3000 LE per month

It's a renters and buyer's market at the moment, but if you want Nabq Bay rated and Sierra Resort, Nabq Bay rated look no further than the photos
