Buying property in Egypt

its impossible to happen  you can just rent you can only buy in very complicated limited cases

if you want to know it i will ask my professor about this cases but i studied that its very complicated to do that

Ofcourse the foreigner can buy property in Egypt, it was prohibited until the 70's or something but now its ok, briefly... there is some conditions that you will pass through them but the most important is that can't buy properties near to the borders and if inside the country not more than 4000 meters square and to be for residential purpose only if its an existing building ..

its better to specify the property first to be categorized ..

there are a lot of foreigners buying in places like Hurghada! there are special forums for buying, like this one: webworldproperty.com/forum9.html

Hi guys!

Thanks for your help
