Thanks for the business, Jeremy.
No, it's not in there as it's not a very high profile development and I didn't come across it while I was over there.
The developers should actually be quite glad that I didn't mention it as I'm sorry to say that I wouldn't have been terribly complementary about it.
The first I heard about it was when I was talking about the book with one of the agents who has done her homework and knows the market in Hurghada well. She asked me if Hurghada Village was there and I said no. She then went on to use it as an example about how terrible it is that some agents sell projects that they know nothing about and where details are really sketchy. The first thing that she mentioned about it was it being on a dual carriageway next to a Shell garage.
Exactly the same points were made on the discussion on this forum about the development.
Are the sea views guaranteed according to the contract? I can't see how they can be as there appears to be an empty building plot between the development and the sea which I can't believe will stay empty for long.
I'm sorry if you're already committed to buying there. Personally I think that, for the same budget, you would have been better off buying in Suleder or Red Sea Pharaoh just a litte bit north or, if you could increase your budget by a grand, then Lotus Breeze would have been a better choice.

Any hotel in Hurghada got golf setup yet
I've booked at the Steigenberger in Hurghada (not the one in El Gouna) and they claim to have a 9 hole short course.

I have seen the course in this hotel and very nice it is indeed, but I have not played on it yet so not sure of the price. The hotel is very nice too.

The Steigenberger is very nice but it is a German owned and run hotel and is quite 'formal'. Personally I prefer the Intercontinental. The nine hole course at the Steigenberger looks fine if you are a golfer!

The Marriott seems to have the highest profile gym in Hurghada. I don't know what the prices would be though for non-residents.

I think there is also one on the Sheraton Road between McDonalds and El Souk, above a jewellery.

El Gouna golf
I agree with you about the formaility of the steigenberger. Sunbeds all snapped up by 8.30 am !
the golf course at Steigenberger is 18 holes and an excellent resort course. Its very busy in high season but anyone can play and not too expensive by european levels and every bit as enjoyable but best to start early and take a buggy and lots of water.
Gouna are going to build a second gated golf resort starting this year called Ancient Sands Golf Resort because the first is so busy and this will enable them to spread the load and make it much more attractive a destination for european golfers. Course has been designed by the same guy who built the famous emirates golf course in Dubai ,Karl Litten, who is a highly respected golf architect of the old school.
There will be appartments for investors (mainly studios and 1 beds with lock outs so they can be combined for better rental flexibility) with rental management facilities and townhouses and villas - all designed by EDSA the worlds leading masterplanners and SB architects a leading miami practice. Its been on the drawing board for a couple of years and the plans which ive been involved in look fabulous - i expect there will be more news soon but Orascom are definately trying to move even further up the quality scale with this one as you would expect from them.

I know its nothing to do with golf but it is sport? of a fashion? Does anyone know if its cheaper to book snorkelling and quad bike safaris in UK or wait till you arrive in Sharm? I get asked these questions now because of buying an appartment and I haven't a clue.

Hi - defo dont book with tour op in the UK as the prices will be soooo expensive. Same as dont do the same if you are booked in a hotel with the tour op. You can find many cheaper deals in Sharm offering the same but at alot cheaper price. I have used a few in Sharm such as Sunnfunsinai and Sharmexcursions. Check their websites to get an idea of prices and still barter. If you get a price for any trip in Sharm let me know what you have been quoted and I will tell you if it is reasonable or not.
Tiran Island is A MUST
Please, please though check out your own UK travel Insurance for trips such as quads to see if they offer you adequate cover if not check who you book the trip with and ask to see their liability insurance cert. If they dont have one then dont touch them. We went on the quads in Hurghada and I was horrified and scared stiff so be warned to make sure you are covered!
