After many years in the shade Hurghada is finally emerging as the main player on the Red Sea Riviera as it’s rival Sharm becomes less popular. Unlike the primarily tourist resort of Sharm el Sheikh, Hurghada is a functioning town in it’s own right with a traditional centre, market & bazaars which are not just aimed at attracting the tourists.

Things here have remained un-changed by recent events in Egypt, whereas Sharm is suffering from negative publicity largely due to President Mubarak going to ground here in his luxury villa. Mubarak bestowed presitge on Sharm & encouraged other government figures to do the same. Adding to the negativity are the recent shark attacks which left one tourist dead & many others terrified of entering the water.

Traditionally prices have been higher in Sharm which is another contributing factor leading Hurghada’s rise in popularity. Hurghada is situated on the Egyptian mainland, a boat ride away from the Sharm on the  Sinai peninsular, making the tourist hot spot of Luxor just 3 hours drive & the capital Cairo 5 hours away. Tourists can easily visit the Valley of the Kings, Pyaramids & Sphinx without taking too much travelling time.

The excellent mainland location of Hurghada & it’s international airport has led to other tourist resorts springing up, namely El Gouna which lies to to the north of Hurghada. El Gouna is famous for it’s championship golf courses & marina, it is a mix of high end hotels,luxury villas & apartments & is becoming increasingly popular with toursists.

Lying to the south of Hurghada is the purpose built luxury resort of Sahl Hasheesh. Sahl Hasheesh is built over an area of 40 sq km & has a 12km stretch of coastline – the most beautiful on the red sea. The resort is carefully planned with boutique hotels, grand 5* palaces & luxury apartments. The resort is self contained & has a marina, shopping centre, bars & restaurants & even a sunken city for the divers!

The next resort is Makadi Bay, not as luxurious as Sahl but still a gated self contained community with many affordable properties available for holiday makers or those who wish to linger in the sun for a little longer.

For more details on properties available in & around Hurghada please visit Sun Homes.

Sunset Pearl is a luxury complex located  in the prestigious tourist resort of  Sahl Hasheesh. It is  in a prime location with wonderful views of the sea & Golf course.

The apartments, a mix of studios, 1, 2 & 3 bedrooms, are all spacious with polished ceramic marble effect flooring throughout. The kitchen area has granite worktops & bedrooms have fitted wardrobes.

A new promotional video has been released for the exclusive Sultanate of Pleasures Resort in Sahl Hasheesh. The video contains high quality 3D renderings showing the exquisite Arabian architecture present in the project.

The new video of Sultanate of Pleasures can be seen below:

The current global credit crisis has seen the value of shares plummet in many countries and the general public losing confidence in investing their money in the Bank.  Property on the other hand is a much more stable asset and over a long term period will always appreciate in value. Whilst the property market is slow in the UK, in Egypt it is still strong & the Egyptian economy remains stable with much investment from both foreign & local investors. In these uncertain times key ready property is appealing to investors & those looking for a holiday home for a number of reasons:

• It offers an immediate return- you can use or rent out the property immediately
• You can see immediately  what your money has bought & no possible development delays

Sometimes when buying off-plan it is difficult to visualise the completed building & finish, when buying key ready property there can be no confusion- what you see is what you get & quite often the apartments are furnished & already have air conditioning making it an easy purchase without much additional outlay. More…

Re-sales represent good value for money & are usually in well-established areas with good local facilities. We have a number of exclusive key-ready properties for sale which have been handpicked for our own clients.

There are also properties available on completed developments in both Hurghada & Sahl Hasheesh, some with the option of guaranteed rental making it ideal to get an immediate return on your investment. Currently interest rates on Pyramisa are guaranteed at 8% for 3 years or the option of 7% over 10 years, which is far better than any bank at the moment.
