Overview
- Shelley and Luis Quijada left Derby with their 14-year-old daughter in October 2025 and say they intend to remain in Egypt long term.
- They secured a two-bedroom sea-view flat with a rooftop pool and on-site gym for £54,000 after a £27,000 deposit, paying £1,125 monthly for two years to own it outright.
- They also bought a studio apartment for £24,000 in cash, which they plan to rent out for additional income.
- The family reports saving £887 per month on bills and about £260 on groceries, with monthly spending around £800 and utilities near £30.
- Shelley works online and the couple use social media to book local excursions, their daughter is currently home-schooled with a British school under consideration next year, and they are adjusting to road safety concerns and tourist-targeted pricing.
