Hurghada Rental Yields — Full Guide by Area and Property Type 2025
Rental yields are the primary metric for Hurghada property investors. With gross yields ranging from 7% in Al Ahyaa to 12% in Sahl Hasheesh, Hurghada significantly outperforms the UK (3–4%), Spain (3–5%), and even Dubai (5–8%). Here is the complete picture.
How Yields Are Calculated in Hurghada
Gross yield = annual rental income divided by purchase price × 100. Net yield = gross yield minus annual costs (service charge, management fees, maintenance). In Hurghada, net yields are typically 1–2% below gross due to relatively low service charges and management fees.
Yields by Area
Sahl Hasheesh: 10–12% gross — private beach, premium specification, strong tourist demand year-round. El Gouna: 8–10% gross — expat long-term rental demand, year-round occupancy. Makadi Bay: 8–11% gross — growing tourist market, improving infrastructure. Al Ahyaa: 7–9% gross — best yield relative to purchase price at the low end of the market.
Yields by Property Type
Studios: highest percentage yields (10–15% in some areas) due to low purchase price and strong demand from budget tourists. One-bedroom apartments: 8–12% — broadest rental market, good balance of yield and capital growth. Villas: 5–8% gross but highest absolute income; suitable for premium short-let market.
Factors That Maximise Yield
Quality rental management company on-site. Beachfront or sea-view specification. Pool access. Proximity to hotels and dining. Fully furnished and equipped to a consistent standard. Active presence on Airbnb, Booking.com, and local platforms.
What Affects Occupancy
Hurghada's tourist season is effectively year-round — unlike Mediterranean markets. Peak season (October–May) commands the highest rates. June–September is the hottest period — occupancy drops but does not disappear, particularly for European heat-seekers. Average annual occupancy for a well-managed Hurghada property is 55–70%.
