Letting in Sharm el-Sheikh
Rules and licensing
Foreigners may own property in Sinai only through long leasehold or an Egyptian company — freehold is restricted in this governorate for security reasons, which surprises people who bought elsewhere in Egypt. Tourist letting needs a licence from the tourism ministry.
Tourist tax
Accommodation tax and service charges of roughly 12-14% on the bill.
How the year is shaped
Longest season of anywhere in this file: European winter sun from October to May, and a hot but busy Russian and Gulf summer. February and March are the peak.
Who books here
Divers, who book by the week and want tank storage and an early breakfast, and package families. Proximity to a dive centre and to a decent house reef prices the listing.
Short-term rental rules change often and can differ by district, and building or condominium rules may restrict letting regardless of what the city permits. Treat this as orientation, not legal advice, and confirm the current position with the local authority before letting.
