📊 How Much Does Real Estate in Hurghada Actually Earn?


No empty promises. No mythical “up to 20%.” Only what actually works.


🏙️ The Reality of the Market

There are two parallel stories in Hurghada: — In presentations: 15–20% annual ROI — In reality: A stable 8–12%

Sometimes more. Often less.

The difference always comes down to one thing: what you bought and how it is managed.


💰 What Renting Actually Yields

🏢 Studios / 1-Bedroom (The core of the investor segment) — Investment: $40,000–$60,000 — Income: $300–$600/month 💵 Annually: ~$4,000–$7,000 📈 Real ROI: 8–12% This specific segment offers the best yield and the most stable demand.

🏠 2-Bedroom — Investment: $60,000–$90,000 — Income: from $400–$700/month 💵 Annually: ~$5,000–$9,000 📈 Real ROI: 7–11% More stable, but typically yields a slightly lower percentage than studios.


📅 Short-Term Rental — Rate: $30 to $60/night — Occupancy: 50–75% Can yield more, but only with proper management.

Without a systematic approach, these are just numbers "on paper."


📉 Where the Profit Disappears

Not in the market. But in the details.

— The apartment isn't 100% ready for rent — Poor cleaning standards — Appliances work "half the time" — No control over bookings — Incorrect pricing strategy

The result: 📉 Instead of 10% → you get 4–6% 📉 Or simple downtime (empty months)


🔑 The Key Difference

In Hurghada, this logic does not work: "Bought cheaper = earned more."

What actually works is: "Bought the right format = generate steady income."

And in most cases, this means studios and 1-bedrooms, though 2-bedrooms remain highly relevant.


🌍 Why Investors Enter This Market

— Low entry threshold — Stable rental demand — A working income model — Potential for property value growth

But: ⚠️ Only if everything is integrated into a proper system.


🎯 Conclusion

The numbers are simple: — Standard result: 8–12% annually — Great result: 10–15% — Weak scenario: 0–5%

The difference isn't the country. The difference is the property and the management.
