Hurghada Apartments Deliver 7.29% Average Rental Yield, Leading Red Sea Coastal Markets
New data from Global Property Guide reveals apartment gross rental yields in Hurghada averaging 7.29%, positioning the city as one of Egypt's most attractive markets for buy-to-let investors.
Hurghada's apartment rental market continues to deliver compelling returns for property investors, with gross rental yields averaging 7.29% according to the latest data from Global Property Guide. The figures, drawn from market-wide transaction and listing data, place Hurghada ahead of several other Egyptian and regional coastal destinations.
Yield Breakdown
The reported yield range spans from a minimum of 5.86% to a maximum of 8.08%, depending on property location, unit size, and rental strategy. City-centre apartments near Sheraton Road and the marina corridor tend to sit at the higher end of the band, while units in outlying residential districts yield closer to the lower bound.
“A 7.29% gross yield in a tourism-driven market with year-round occupancy potential makes Hurghada one of the most compelling buy-to-let stories in the Mediterranean basin.”

What Drives the Yield
Several factors underpin Hurghada's rental performance. Tourist arrivals continue to break records — the city welcomed over 650,000 visitors in May 2026 alone — sustaining strong short-term rental demand. Meanwhile, apartment sale prices have risen at a more moderate pace than villa prices, keeping the entry cost for investors relatively accessible.
The yield math works particularly well for cash buyers or those using favourable financing structures. At current average apartment prices of approximately EGP 24,550 per square metre, a one-bedroom unit of 75 square metres would generate gross annual rent of roughly EGP 134,000 at the average yield, before operating costs and management fees.
Regional Comparison
Hurghada's 7.29% average compares favourably to other Red Sea markets. El Gouna yields tend to run slightly lower due to higher entry prices, while less-developed markets like Safaga and Quseir show higher yields but thinner liquidity. The combination of yield, liquidity, and tourism volume makes Hurghada the standout choice for most foreign investors.
