Quite a lot of people have bought property where I live in Luxor, many are now regretting this too, many have just locked their property up and gone home hoping that better days will arrive before their lives end. Many want to leave but cannot because the property market has no buyers.
But some have only just worked it out that they have invested money on a very unsafe footing, ie. They are only here on a tourist visa which can be terminated at anytime without giving a reason.
Do forum members feel that investors should ha e the right to a 5 year temporary residents visa? Would it be better to rent than invest in Egypt, considering purchasing property provides work when it is built, and work for locals keeping it clean.
