A Mature Resort Market With Its Own Authorities
Sharm El Sheikh's property market is one of Egypt's oldest resort markets, built around areas such as Naama Bay, Hadaba and the newer developments further along the coast toward Nabq. Because the governorate and local registry structures differ from the Red Sea Governorate, we take care to direct each transaction to the correct local authority rather than assuming Hurghada procedures apply unchanged.
Serving Clients Across Two Coasts
A number of our long-standing clients own property in both Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh, and we coordinate legal work across both so that contracts, powers of attorney and tax matters are handled consistently rather than as disconnected files. This cross-coast view also helps when a client is comparing a Red Sea purchase against a South Sinai one before deciding where to invest.
Due Diligence for Sharm Properties
As with any Egyptian coastal purchase, we check the seller's ownership, the developer's permits and land title, and the specific unit's history before a client commits funds. Sharm's longer development history means some buildings have gone through multiple ownership changes, so tracing the full chain of contracts is often a larger part of the work than in newer towns.
- Confirming the correct local registry and authority for the specific area of Sharm
- Tracing the full ownership chain on older buildings before registering a new sale
- Reviewing developer permits for newer projects toward Nabq and beyond
- Checking for any dual-country tax or residency implications tied to the purchase
Remote Representation From Hurghada
We handle most Sharm El Sheikh matters remotely from our Hurghada office, using courier for original documents, video calls for contract walkthroughs, and a power of attorney scoped to the specific transaction so our team can attend the relevant registry or developer office without requiring the client to travel between coasts.
