Real estate in Hurghada, Egypt: Red Sea resort town with strong rental demand and affordable beachfront living

Why invest in property in Hurghada

Hurghada is one of Egypt’s most prominent coastal cities, renowned for its clear waters, coral reefs, and year-round warm climate. As a top Red Sea destination for tourists and expats, it offers excellent opportunities for real estate investment — especially in the short-term rental, holiday home, and retirement living segments.

The city combines affordable property prices, growing tourist infrastructure, and relaxed foreign ownership regulations, making it one of the most accessible markets in North Africa. With consistent tourist traffic from Europe, Russia, and the Middle East, Hurghada supports high seasonal occupancy rates and attractive returns on well-located, furnished apartments or resort villas.

Types of real estate available

The Hurghada property market is dominated by residential and resort-style assets designed for vacation, rental, or second-home use:

• Beachfront apartments and studios in areas like Al Mamsha, Sheraton Road, and Arabia — ideal for rental income and lifestyle use.
• Villas and townhouses in gated resorts such as El Gouna, Sahl Hasheesh, and Makadi Bay — popular with expats and families.
• Serviced residences within hotel-branded or mixed-use developments — combining ownership with resort amenities.
• Off-plan investment units in emerging projects with installment plans and guaranteed yields.
• Commercial retail units near tourist hubs or inside integrated resorts — for shops, cafés, and services.

Most apartments and villas are sold freehold or with long-term usufruct rights. Gated communities often offer pools, security, gyms, beach access, and property management services, allowing hands-off ownership for foreign investors.

Foreign ownership and legal aspects

Egypt allows foreigners to purchase property in resort areas like Hurghada. The main conditions include:

• Foreigners may purchase up to two properties not exceeding 4,000 m² combined, and properties must be used for residential purposes.
• Full registration with the Real Estate Registration Office is possible but often replaced by notarized preliminary contracts (particularly in new developments).
• To repatriate profits from resale or rent, initial payments should be made through official banking channels.

VelesClub Int. provides legal assistance throughout the purchase process, including contract review, developer verification, fund documentation, and resale planning. We also assist with visa-related benefits tied to real estate ownership.

Property prices and rental yields

Hurghada is one of Egypt’s most affordable coastal markets, offering low entry barriers and stable rental demand. As of 2025:

• Studios and 1-bedroom apartments: $700–$1,200/m² in central areas like Al Mamsha and Arabia
• Seafront apartments in El Gouna or Sahl Hasheesh: $1,800–$3,000/m²
• Villas in gated resorts: $1,500–$2,800/m² depending on location and finish

Short-term rentals yield 7%–12% annually, especially for well-furnished properties with sea views and proximity to beaches or dive centers. Long-term rentals bring lower yields (4%–6%) but ensure year-round occupancy, particularly from expats and digital nomads.

Neighborhoods and lifestyle

Hurghada’s key investment zones are tied to tourism infrastructure and lifestyle offerings:

• Al Mamsha and Sheraton Road: Central tourist areas with walkability, restaurants, and beach clubs — best for short-lets.
• Arabia and El Kawther: Residential areas close to the sea — suitable for long-term rentals or affordable holiday homes.
• El Gouna: A high-end resort town with marinas, golf courses, and schools — ideal for luxury living and expat families.
• Sahl Hasheesh and Makadi Bay: Master-planned coastal zones offering privacy, beach access, and serviced real estate.
• Magawish and Intercontinental: Emerging districts with new developments and strong infrastructure growth.

The city offers a laid-back coastal lifestyle, excellent diving and water sports, low cost of living, and growing interest from retirees and remote workers. It’s also a short flight from Europe, with year-round charters and direct routes from major cities.
