The global property market is a tough one to fully judge and understand, with so many hotspots vying for your investment money. So, why would you choose Egypt over any other emerging markets?

First and foremost, there are the prices, which just about speak for themselves. You can get your foot on the Egyptian property market for just £25,000, which would buy you an off-plan 1-bedroom 1-bathroom apartment in the Hurghada area. Unlike other destinations, however, Egypt has shied away from the ‘get ‘em in and pack ‘em high’ mentality and offers a great assortment of property types, as well as astounding value for money.

Staying in Hurghada, you can pick up a delightful 2-bedroom 2-bathroom penthouse for only £100,000. Or, if you’re after a little more outside space, £90,000 will get you a luxurious villa, every bit as stunning and well-built as the Sphinx, in the Manta Villas development. When you consider that, in the UK, Portugal and Spain, you’d struggle to find a studio in a popular resort for that price, Egyptian property’s value for money really stands out.
