This is going to sound like a strange question but has come anyone across a website or article that states what the current number of expats are living in Hurghada and any projected figures?

Many thanks

Lyndsay

Hi Sue - we are with Virgin so Sky have stopped them broadcasting their channels so cant get Sky travel anymore.

Hi Alison, I used to have a life before I bought this apartment, now I'm on all the holiday channels, trawling the net and on this forum looking for all kinds of info. I can't wait for it to be built, even when I have a conversation with my family it always returns to the subject of DP2 or hurghada. Ha Ha
Any word about your entry date yet?

Hi Sue - join the club LOL. Hubby gets fed up with that little box always being on my lap!!

The developer has said within 60 days so it could be April / May. With any luck we could be out in June fingers crossed.

Thanks Eddie,

I picked up my copy a few days ago - we don't get them at the same time as you do in the UK. I still haven't found time to read it though - will do now

There is a link in here somewhere that I posted where you can access it online.

Just finished this month's A Place In The Sun. Noticed that next months issue - on sale the 10th of April - has a feature about finding a young family a holiday home in Hurghada. Should be a good one. I'll put a reminder on the calendar.
