Design your dream home - Egyptian style

Do you have an image in your head of how your dream home would look? Do you think you could knock the designer socks off Laurence Llewellyn Bowen and Linda Barker? And would you like to practice your design skills on a six bedroom luxury villa costing less than the price of a one bed flat in a less than salubrious area of London?

If the answers are yes, yes, yes, then overseas property specialist Egypt Revealed is offering an exciting new building project just outside Hurghada on the Red Sea Riviera. The British developers of Blue Horizon Villas specialise in one-off designs, with every property individually tailored to suit the buyer, and a guarantee not to repeat the design.

There are four sizes of properties to choose from and any of their internal layouts could be changed upon request. Reputable Egyptian builders construct the main structure, and then the British team is brought in for the final finishing and décor, to ensure all personal final touches are carried out to the letter.

A furniture pack is optional, but would include everything needed to literally get off the plane and start living the dream. Every need is taken care of, from cutlery and crockery, even paintings and mirrors, right down to stocking the kitchen cupboards. The developer meets every client individually to get an in-depth understanding of their requirements, even finding out what type of tea they’d like bought for their arrival!

All properties come with built-in air conditioning (both heating and cooling), fully fitted kitchens and bathrooms, gym equipment, internet access and roof garden. They will also have access to the year-round underground pool (apartments share with their three block neighbours), Jacuzzi, rest area, gym, balconies and private gated entrance.

Also included in the gated development will be private facilities such as a games room and internet café/business centre and restaurants.

If there’s something missing, the developers would be happy to hear of any individual requirements and to install anything to create the ideal dream holiday home abroad.

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION

This new development is situated in Magawish, only a couple of minutes from Hurghada’s pearl white, sandy beaches and shopping district.

The Red Sea Riviera has fast become a community of mixed nationalities and cultures. The permanent summer weather and leisure activities, including desert safaris, diving and golf, make this the most popular resort in Egypt.

Nearby, on this impressive strip of the Red Sea coast, lie the stunning resorts of Sahl Hasheesh and El Gouna, both exclusive destinations offering residents and tourists fantastic views of the desert and mountains. At the heart of the El Gouna Resort with its natural lagoons is the Abu Tig Marina, the most luxurious harbour on the Red Sea designed around the spectacular El Gouna Golf Club, an 18 hole, PGA professional golf course.

The Red Sea Riviera has two seasons: a hot summer, which runs from May (18-32°C) to October (18-29°C), followed by a mild winter for the remaining months. The dry climate makes the area a highly desirable location at any time of the year.

THINGS TO DO

Known as one of the most beautiful places on earth, the Red Sea is a truly exotic and fascinating natural seascape environment. Its crystal blue surface and oasis of living creatures, reefs and coral formations, make it one of the world’s most highly sought after diving locations.

Hurghada provides a gateway to the Red Sea’s prime diving sites and is unique in offering access to many uninhabited offshore reefs and islands, allowing a myriad of opportunities for swimming, snorkelling, scuba and free diving. The warm waters are ideal for many varieties of rare fish and coral reefs, which can also be observed through glass bottom boats or submarines.

There are also many other excellent facilities enjoyed by visitors such as kite surfing, deep sea fishing, windsurfing, swimming with dolphins, sailing, jeep adventures and boat trips.

To put your design on a property there’s no need to be a fluent Arabic speaker. All contact is throughout the purchasing process is with English speakers, and except for the initial land purchase document, all communication, design and payments are controlled in the UK. This also has the added benefit of offering ultimate security and peace of mind for every investment.

All you have to do is get on the flight we have booked for you and move in.
