Why invest in Egypt:
As a location for property investors, Egypt remains relatively undiscovered - but experts are increasingly recommending it for those looking to secure their funds in high-return assets.
The fact that the world is only just beginning to awaken to the opportunities that the north African state holds should make it all the more attractive to investors - especially as the market begins to hot up and investors head off to make modern-day Egyptian discoveries of their own.
Low off-plan prices (from £30k for a beachside apartment), guaranteed rental yields, holiday homes in the sun and high returns on investment (up to 25% per annum in some locations) are all reasons for the current success of Egypt as a holiday and property location.
An increasing number of visitors are buying into luxury apartment complexes in the major holiday hotspots, safe in a strong belief in the current Egyptian government’s commitment to further economic growth and stability. This, in turn, has fuelled greater interest in the Egyptian property market - with the government continuing to put forward initiatives and legislation designed to encourage investment.
Egypt is now well known as a number one medium haul top end destination for European travelers.
Capital growth
Tourism provides a vital source of foreign investment for Egypt and the Egyptian government has begun to heavily promote this sector over the last few years. Visitor numbers are rising rapidly and official figures show that the annual number of British tourists holidaying in Egypt has risen by a third in the last 6 years to 350,000.
Rental income
For those investors interested in rental income, 5-star properties on the Red Sea coast can easily generate around £150-£200 per week in rental income and a 20% yield is not out of the question. The Red Sea Riviera is an up and coming area of Egypt, therefore interest from tour operators is likely to be high.
