Egypt is a classic, mystical and exotic country that has attracted visitors in their droves for literally thousands of years, and is an ideal location for a potential off plan investor looking for an established market with surprisingly low prices. Whilst there are more than enough purpose-built accommodations around the tourist regions of the country, there are still a fair few chances to grab a bargain – though these chances are becoming fewer, thanks to the increase in property prices across the country over the last few years. This boom has seen values rise by more than 60 percent in some cases and has shown that the classic destinations can still prove the best to invest in.

Cairo is a densely populated city and is a hotbed for property in Egypt – unfortunately it is unlikely that a potential off plan buyer would find anything resembling a bargain in the city. For those who can put forward the cash though, this is certainly a city that shouldn’t be ignored and there are some real treats to be had – property prices in the city are on a seemingly constant rise too, at least over the last few years. Elsewhere in the country are a number of other very popular regions for investors – the Red Sea coast being one of the top places for foreign investment. Obviously with the popularity of these regions it is similar to Cairo – there aren’t going to be many bargains, if any at all, but they are still fantastic areas for any potential off plan investor. Other, less popular areas of Egypt are where the real opportunities lie right now – the outskirts of Cairo are slowly picking up in popularity as investors and tourists wish to move away from the hustle and bustle of the city itself, whilst at the same time remaining within a short distance of the capital. Prices in areas like this are much lower than the established regions and bargains do exist for those who are willing to put the legwork in.

Egypt is home to a solid economy which has seen growth over the last few years – not explosive by any means, but growth nonetheless. The country is always popular with tourists and this fact is the reason why so many investors have already taken their business to the country. It isn’t the cheapest, but it’s certainly one of the most interesting prospects, as well as being by far the most established holiday destination of all time!
