Purpose-built Red Sea resort town built by Orascom on Egypt's east coast — opened 1989, designed end-to-end as a self-contained walkable town (no through-traffic, golf-cart and bike transport). Downtown (the central marina with restaurants and shops), the Marina (the upscale residential anchor), and Abu Tig Marina (the secondary harbor) are the walkable cores. Egypt's visa-on-arrival (90 days, extendable) applies; no formal DNV but long-visa-free routes are nomad-compatible. The structural draws are year-round warm Red Sea climate (kitesurfing November-April, diving year-round), self-contained safe-feeling town, and meaningful nomad community density. Premium pricing for Egypt.

Editorial estimates. Not financial advice. The 4% rule is a planning anchor, not a guarantee — sequence-of-returns risk and tax-jurisdiction friction (US-LLC / FEIE / state residency) can move the real number meaningfully. See our expat tax directory for the cross-border side of the math.
