In Egypt, the most known area is Cairo. Alexandria is also quite well known but if you want a beautiful jewel of the sea with pristine beaches that go for miles with not very many people around then find something in the Red Sea area of Egypt. Especially the southern Red Sea area of Hurghada all the way to Marsa Alam are beautiful locations which are becoming popular with tourists. The increase of interest in property purchase in Marsa Alam or Hurghada is understandable as there is a multi million dollar yacht club near to Marsa Alam as well as a brand new international airport. Apartment pricing in Marsa Alam is quite low with a huge potential to be of tremendous increase of value over the near future. It is also a worldclass diving destination and there is a shortage of apartments right now in that area.

Some places at the Red Sea especially a place in Marsa Alam has little neighbors and it is very quiet around town. It is like a village really but it won't be staying that way for long.
