Hi Anni - its lovely to have you on board and a warm welcome to you and your family. Good luck with your search.
My apartment is in Nabq on Sierra Resort. There are quite alot of us - around 24 or so - on this forum that have bought on Sierra, Simon has bought in Sharks Bay which is a short drive up the road and there are a handful of others that have bought elsewhere in Nabq and Naama Bay.
I dont know if you are aware of the Sharm Womens Group but the lady that I employ to look after my apartment ( she used to be a school teacher and governor when she lived in Ireland ) is on the committee and a lovely lady who helped me no end. I attended one of their monthly meetings a couple of weeks ago and met some lovely women from all nationalities that have now made Sharm their homes. You may want to consider joining this group?? If so I will put you in touch with Clare. The have monthly meetings and fortnightly committee meetings and are always looking for new members. They are arranging their annual Xmas dinner at the moment for around 18th Dec.
Clare and Mohammed are living at the Oriental Resort in Nabq, Peter owns St Georges at Jasmine centre and lives at Sharm residence with his wife Tracy and family. There are a couple of Brit couples living full time on Sierra and many more in Nabq. Quite a few Brits live on Sharm Residence.
We are back over on 16th Dec for 2 weeks so if you are around it would be lovely to meet up with you.
We are both in our 40's and I would say average age for Brits living in Nabq is 55. We have 2 girls 24 and 15 and a boy of 19. I hope to talk hubby into moving out for good in about 3 years so we could well be neighbours!
15yrs!! so you are a pro ( excuse pun lol ) when it comes to Sharm. There are lots of keen divers on here especially the Sierra thread and Im sure it wont be long before you find some dive buddies.
I agree about the changes. Even Nabq has changed quite alot in the last 12 months. Naama is getting very very busy and the traffic is heavy.
With ref to a lawyer mine is Zeiad who has become a firm family friend as well. He is a true gent and regular poster on the forum keeping buyers updated and answering questions. There is a thread on recommended lawyers, agents etc which you will find many recommendations. Zeiad is of course totally independant of any developer or agent which I would recommend.
There is also a chit chat section in the lounge area where you can have a natter and an introductions thread on the 1st page of the Egypt forum.
Keep posting Anni and if you have any problems navigating the forum please dont hesitate to contact either myself of Lsab ( Linda )
All the best
