Maybe you use Egyptian tape measure and not UK regulated hence why your a little off the mark.

Thanks. Hmmm don't think I have disagreed with everything you say (d'oh was that comment just a cunning plan to get me to disagree with you?!), I think I have commented twice on what you've said (well, I've replied to posts anyway, doesn't mean I haven't commented verbally!), which really doesn't qualify me as having disagreed with everything you say........nevermind.

I don't use a tape measure at all, but I do know how big a step my little legs have to take to get on and off the curbs in Sharm & Cairo and everywhere I've been inbetween, and it certainly isn't 2ft. 1ft maybe, but not 2ft.

Anyway, sorry Lowryder for hijacking this thread.....

I really liked Hurghada when i visited i was just saying its not for everyone. I will not make any more comments about it though as people from Hurghada seem to take opinions from outsiders too offensivly.

Saaf

Good luck with what ever you decide Lowryder

Average here is not 60+ , that applies to Luxor maybe but not here,there are plenty of 30 somethings around, and 20 somethings.
I have no affiliation to any sales company or development, but I have been in Hurghada for 3 yrs, not working, very early retirement, just chilling. If you want to pm me and ask questions, I will do my best to answer. Just be careful please, there are a lot of cowboy developers here. Good ones too, but...
I don't think so; Hurghada gets it's fair share of older visitors but there are many young families living here from all over Eastern and Central Europe. There is a good night life and the place absolutely rocks from dusk till dawn; not quite what Saaf was describing. Of course some areas are better than others and property prices can vary from exceptionally cheap to Surrey on sea; as always, it depends on your budget and where you want to be.

I am originally from the UK but lived in Spain for 13 years and now in Egypt (Hurghada) for four.

Not Homework no. Peter showed me around several properties in Hurghada about three years ago. I wasnt saying he was being dishonest praising Hurghada, in my opinion he likes it. He wasnt just praising it to sell me a property.
