Think of Egypt and the first thing to enter your mind will probably be the Pyramids, the Sphinx and the other historical sites. But history aside, Egypt and specifically the Red Sea has been reinventing itself as an ultra-modern holiday destination, and over the past few years it has opened its doors to international property hunters.
One of the most popular locations is El Gouna – an upmarket, purpose-built resort town, most of the properties have water frontage, and El Gouna also boasts a world-class marina, 13 hotels, an 18-hole golf course and a range of other facilities, including an international school.
With the construction of a new marina and other developments within El Gouna, it is now possible to become a first time buyer with excellent return on investment.
Meet Gianna and Carol in September in either London or Birmingham to discuss all possible investment options in person.
The Property Investor Show is the largest dedicated property investment event held in the UK each year - and returns to ExCeL London for a 6th year on September 21-23rd. El Gouna Real Estate will be present in stand no. 548. If you enter your email we will send you an entrance ticket
If London is not convenient, join us in Birmingham on 28, 29 or 30th of September for the Place in the Sun Exhibition, enter your email to receive a free entrance ticket to visit our Stand B28.
Looking forward to meeting you next month.

| Luxor and Sharm El Sheikh gets Internet Facelift. |
| Egypt will undergo another round of infrastructure expansion as it builds wireless hotspots at key tourist locations. |
| News |
|
|
The move comes after a USAID funded project recently helped Egypt offer free Wi-Fi for visitors to Luxor and Naama Bay in Sharm El Sheikh to access the Web from almost any location.
WIESC, the USAID funded project, is working to expand Internet access to all Egyptian tourist cities, which will help continue to bolster Egypt's technology sector.
Egypt has been making great strides in its Internet technology in recent years, establishing Internet connectivity companies allowing almost every cafe in Cairo to be Internet accessible for users.
"The WIESC project brings Egypt in line with an experience of high speed data traveling over greater distances," Nihal Soliman, marketing advisor for USAID said.
"We're very excited to announce that our Wi-Fi technology networks are up and running in these key Egyptian cities, allowing everyone the opportunity to experience the reliability and speed of the network," Soliman added.

La Residence des Cascades |
This honour recognizes La Résidence des Cascades as being in the top 100 internationally most popular hotels, as judged by guests travelling with Europe’s leading tour operator TUI.
Thousands of hoteliers contest the coveted award every year, which is presented in a special ceremony in Germany in October. In a guest questionnaire, hotels are rated on a scale of one to five, from which an average value is calculated for each hotel. Annually, over a half million TUI holidaymakers participate in the voting for the TUI Holly. Ratings are awarded not just for the level and quality of the services provided, but also for how friendly and customer-focused the staff are when in contact with guests.
La Résidence des Cascades is the flagship hotel of the luxurious resort destination of Soma Bay, which is rapidly gaining a reputation as the Ultimate Resort Destination on the Red Sea, Egypt. The hotel offers spectacular panoramic views from its 249 guestrooms and suites, which overlook a combination of the lush landscaped greens and fairways of the resort’s golf courses, and the endless blues of the sea.
La Résidence des Cascades hotel is set amidst The Cascades, an 18 hole, par 72 desert and oceanfront links-style course designed by Gary Player. Adjacent to the Championship course, is the 9 hole, Par 3 Challenge Course, also designed by Gary Player, and an extensive Golf Academy and driving range.
The hotel is also home to Les Thermes Marins des Cascades, the largest spa, thalasso-therapy and wellness centre in Egypt, and a Leading Spa of the World, operated in cooperation with the renowned Les Thermes Marins de Saint-Malo of France.
As well as La Résidence des Cascades, guests can also choose to stay at the Sheraton Soma Bay and the Robinson Club Soma Bay. Soma Bay is also delighted to announce that they have executed a Memorandum of Understanding in anticipation of finalising a definitive agreement for a new luxury hotel to join the prestigious Kempinski hotel chain early in 2008.

Egypt: How bazaar |
When visiting Egypt, there are ten things you absolutely must do. |
| Feature Article |
|
|
1.See the pyramids
Going to Egypt without visiting the pyramids is like going to Paris and not seeing the Eiffel Tower. Built more than 4500 years ago as a tomb for the pharaoh Khufu and his clan, the Great Pyramid of Giza, its two siblings and various other adjacent temples and tombs are regally guarded over by the majestic Sphinx. The complex is the only one of the seven wonders of the ancient world that still exists. Standing a massive 230m tall on the outskirts of Cairo, it still boggles minds as to how manpower alone could have created this massive, almost perfectly symmetrical structure.
The best time to visit is early morning, before tourists arrive in droves, and before the sun becomes heat-stroke material (if you visit between June and August). By day, explore the plateau by foot, or atop a camel or horse; by night, watch the pyramids being hulled in a kaleidoscope of light and sound. The most authentic way to watch this magical performance is from the village next door - just ask the locals nicely if you can use the rooftop of their home as a viewing platform - and don't forget to thank them for their generosity with a gift of flowers or sweet
No. 2 on the list of things you absolutely must do in Egypt will follow next week.

| Crocodile rumors, theories abound in Egypt. |
| Featured Article |

Floating down the Nile's muddy waters on any given day are soda cans, plastic bags, swimming boys, tourists on felucca boats and patches of marsh grasses with birds hitching a ride. This summer, a crocodile joined the flotsam and jetsam. Or so it seems.
No photos have confirmed the rumor in the two weeks since reports of sightings surfaced, but the Egyptian media have been abuzz. All that's clear is that an animal from the crocodilian family, perhaps a native Nile croc or a foreign alligator, has made its way to the urban waters of the northern Nile, something Cairenes say hasn't happened in living memory.
The officer in charge of the police patrolling the waterways in central Cairo confirms there is, in fact, a reptile in the river.
Nile crocodiles have made a recovery in other parts of Africa since being hunted to the edge of extinction by the 1950s. But they are rare in northern Egypt, and especially in settled areas where people often kill them for their prized hides and out of fear.
Word is, the recent crocodile, or alligator, has swum downstream to the northern Cairo neighborhood of Maadi.

| Partnership marks Emperor Divers’ 15th Anniversary |
| In a unique partnership, ReefCI and Emperor Divers have joined forces to provide valuable research and conservation projects to help protect the Red Sea's marine eco-system. |

Emperor 15th anniversary |
From October 2007, Emperor and ReefCI will be conducting year round Reef Check surveys and co-operating with Red Sea environmental authorities to provide valuable information for ongoing local projects. Which ties in perfectly with Emperor Divers’ anniversary marking 15 years of providing diving in the Red Sea and strengthens the company’s aim to be a part of environmental solutions and not the problem.
Diving guests can be a part of this valuable contribution towards protecting the future of the Red Sea by taking this opportunity to give something back. This unique concept means that guests can combine day diving with an invaluable contribution to conservation. There are a number of packages on offer to get the most out of your time in the Red Sea.
“The majority of people who come on the trips are passionate about the environment and want to put something back. However, the ReefCI trips are ‘laid back' and focused on conserving the environment and at the same time enjoying a well-earned break! The choice is yours; you can be involved in recreational or more intensive marine conservation work,” explains ReefCI Founder, Polly Ward. ReefCI are a member of Reef Check whose Patron is Leonardo DiCaprio.
