Why long-stay instead of hotel?
Furnished homes give you a kitchen, laundry, workspace, and a real neighborhood feel. Monthly rates are 50-70% lower per night than hotels for similar comfort.

Consideration
When is the best season to come?
October to April is the high season, 22-28 degrees Celsius, low humidity, low wind. May to September is hotter and quieter, with deeper discounts and better availability.
Which area suits long-stay?
Marina = social, walkable, restaurants. Tawila = quiet family lagoon. South Marina = newer builds, better internet. Sabina + Ancient Sands = car-helpful, calmer.
How is the internet for remote work?
Fiber is available in most newer developments (50-200 Mbps). Older areas use 4G LTE backup. Coworking spaces operate at Marina and Downtown. Cellular roaming is reliable.
Can I bring my pet?
Many landlords accept small pets with extra deposit. Some compounds restrict animals. We flag pet-friendly listings in the filter. Egypt allows pet-import with health certificate.
