Expert Legal Services in Hurghada, Egypt

Most people who contact our office are foreign buyers, expats and business owners who need Egyptian law explained in plain English before they sign anything. The three questions we answer most often are whether it is safe to buy property in Hurghada, how a foreigner registers a company in Egypt, and how residency is obtained through property or work.

Property matters start with a title and due diligence check at the Real Estate Registry, followed by a contract review and, where the developer allows it, Green Contract registration — the only form of ownership recorded in your name by the state. Our real estate lawyer page explains each stage and the documents required.

For business and residency, we handle LLC and One Person Company formation including GAFI approval, commercial register and tax card, and residency and work permit applications. Family and estate matters — marriage for foreigners, divorce and inheritance — are handled before the Family Court in Hurghada and, where needed, legalized for use abroad through embassy attestation.

If you cannot travel to Egypt, most of this work can be completed under a Power of Attorney legalized at the Egyptian embassy in your country. Background reading is available in our legal guides, and scope and fees are confirmed in writing before any engagement begins — send us the details of your matter. A step-by-step Arabic breakdown of each procedure, its authority, timeline and fees is on our case procedures page.
