Property for Rent in Hurghada — Guide to Long-Term and Short-Term Rentals
Whether you are looking to rent property in Hurghada as a holiday home, for a long-term stay, or as a tenant, this guide covers everything about the Hurghada rental market — prices, processes, and what to expect.
Overview of Hurghada's Rental Market
Hurghada has a well-developed rental market serving three distinct tenant groups: short-term tourists (1–4 weeks), medium-term seasonal residents (1–6 months), and long-term expats (6–12 months+). Each segment has different pricing, expectations, and management requirements.
Short-Term Holiday Rental Prices
Al Ahyaa studios: £100–£250/week. Makadi Bay studios: £150–£350/week. Sahl Hasheesh studios: £250–£500/week. One-bedroom apartments in El Gouna: £250–£600/week. Prices vary significantly based on season, specification, pool quality, and beach proximity.
Long-Term Rental Prices
Long-term rentals (6+ months) are typically 40–60% cheaper per week than short-term rates. Studios: £200–£600/month. One-bedroom apartments: £350–£1,000/month depending on area and quality. El Gouna commands the highest long-term premiums due to expat demand.
