Relocating in Sharm El Sheikh part 1

If you are reading this, chances are you are contemplating the exciting possibility of moving to Sharm El Sheikh. In this article, we will dive into all the essential aspects of relocating to Sharm El Sheikh, from city features to the educational system, from health care to the best accommodation, from daily shopping to the best places for eating out, and how to build your new life step by step in the City of Peace.

Moving to Sharm El Sheikh

Sharm El Sheikh is an Egyptian resort town between the desert of the Sinai Peninsula and the Red Sea. It is known for its sheltered sandy beaches, clear waters, and coral reefs. Its population is approximately 13,000, but we guess the number is increasing year after year. It was historically a fishing town and military base, and was developed into a commercial and tourism-centric city in 1968.

For those who decide to move to Sharm El Sheikh, the language barrier can be a significant hurdle due to the Arabic language. However, most of the population is quite well-educated and works in the tourism industry; therefore, 90% speak English. Additionally, while the cost of living is lower, the standard of living may not always match up to what some expats are accustomed to in their home countries, so a very high spirit of adaptation is fundamental for a future peaceful life.

Moreover, for families, finding suitable education for children can be a concern, especially if seeking international schooling, which can be quite expensive compared to the average lifestyle of the city. Nowadays, the education system in Sharm El Sheikh includes a range of valuable schooling institutions like the British International School, the French School, the American School, and Sharm College, which is partially private and partially public.

The health system in Egypt, especially in Sharm, provides good quality care. Whether you choose to go to a public hospital or a private clinic, the service will always be excellent. However, as an expat, make sure you have valid health insurance; otherwise, expenses can be quite high. For this reason, most expats buy an international insurance plan or a local one that will cover any accidents and needs during their entire stay. Local insurance can cover you annually; you can contact us for further information on this subject.

What about your accommodation? Is it better to rent or to buy a property and keep it as long as you need it, then resell it? All details in the next article...
