Moving to Sharm

@Ronanmckay

hi

its much better place i think hurghada its very nice place a d reasonable price  for everything you need

Hi Ronan Sharm is nice place to stay, many English expats live here too. I have an apartment with all amenities.available for month April. It's in resort Delta Sharm the best one in Sharm. If Ur interested let me know...

Hello, sharm is lovely… we just moved there but a social life is very complicated! Very few expats…

sharm is very calm… you may consider orher alternatives like Hurgada

@Katkota I've messaged you.

@sabbydoo Why do you say Hurghada?.

Do you regret going to Sharm, Where are you staying?.

Thanks

Why its good choice if you consider owning an apartment or a villa in Hurghada were you can spend your holiday or a long vacation by the beautiful Red Sea without worrying about rent and the hassle of finding a nice comfortable place to stay other than the Hotels available around the city.

If you decide to live in Hurghada and spend most of the year here, then you will save lots of money out of taxes back home, as there are almost no taxes to pay here in Egypt for you. The cost of living and buying an apartment or villa here is for sure much more cheap than doing that back home. You can also rent the place for the rest of the year and make money out of it while you are away.

The cost of living depends on your life style but in general it is very cheap compared to Europe. The Red Sea is truly an amazing destination for you and your family. It is a magical place to spend your holidays or even live for months or after your retirement.

Hurghada, as the third largest city in Egypt and a huge tourist area, has great employment and investment potential. You will find many foreigners living there and working or coming for months to relax and enjoy the beach in their beach house or villa.

There are also lots of beaches inside great hotels where you can enjoy a day use in swimming, snorkeling from the house reefs, having fun in a water park or even learning or practicing one of many water sports that professional centers provide such as kite surfing.

There are also public beaches that don’t cost as much where you can just enjoy the beach sand and sea view in peace.

Hi

I've only ever been to Sharm 4 times.

I'm coming out next month for a month to look for the best place for a Brit to stay long term.

Where's the best place for me?.

So Hurghada I've never experienced so don't know what personally it's like.

Any advice is greatly welcome.

@Ronanmckay i must admit, i moved here because my husband works here… it’s true that it i s beautiful, the sea is amazing… but i find it very boring… no social life… no places just to hang out… very few restaurants. it’s all about hotels. awesome place for holidays… living here long term is another thing. come for a month or 2 … test the waters… then decide.

As a retired family we got the experience.

Sharm is a good place to enjoy your holiday Hurghada has the best British community

You're free to pm

It  depends what you want. Sharm is very touristic. If you just move just 70 km, you arrive in Dahab which is a completely different world. It is a fisher village with a lot of foreigners living there. At the same time it is not difficult to get into touch with local people who are very friendly and helpful. The vibes are very good in Dahab. It's kind of magical. You have the idea of being a century behind time. I can only recommend it but it is very personal and It might not be so helpful for you.

Welcome to Sharm El Sheikh in advance! Spending four weeks here is a great way to get a feel for the area and find the right apartment for your permanent move.

Best Areas for Expats and Social Life:

Naama Bay:

This is one of the most popular spots for expats and tourists. It has a lively vibe, with plenty of restaurants, bars, and social opportunities. If you’re looking to meet people and enjoy a vibrant social life, this is a great place to consider.

Hadaba:

Known for its quieter, more residential feel, Hadaba is a favorite among expats who want a balance between social life and peaceful living. It has great views, local markets, and easy access to beaches.

Nabq Bay:

A bit further out but more modern, Nabq Bay offers a growing expat community, malls, and newer housing options. It’s ideal if you prefer a slightly quieter environment while still having access to social hubs.

Sharks Bay:

Close to the airport and with a more laid-back atmosphere, this area is great for those who love the beach and want to mix with both locals and expats.

Social Life:

The expat community in Sharm is welcoming, and you’ll find plenty of ways to connect:

Join Facebook groups like "Expats in Sharm El Sheikh" to meet people and learn about events.

Visit places like Soho Square or Naama Bay for casual gatherings, live music, and social activities.

Look for local clubs or groups offering activities like diving, yoga, or even volunteering opportunities.

Things to Do While You’re Here:

Make the most of your time by exploring Sharm! A desert safari with PyraSafari is a unique experience that’s not only fun but also a great way to connect with others who enjoy adventure. Their tours include quad biking, visiting an artificial pyramid in the desert, and stargazing, which can be a great conversation starter when meeting new people. Learn more at PyraSafari Desert Adventures.

Good luck with your apartment hunt and future plans in Sharm! 😊
