egypt travel

While there is no doubt excellent value to be found in Egypt, a lot of people do get frustrated with some of the prices of holiday packages from the various UK airports. There is excellent value to be found in the shops, bars and restaurants in the various resorts coupled with the superb year round weather, are just some of the reasons why Egypt is such a popular destination.

The main problem is that there are simply not enough flights to Egypt and this allows prices to be kept higher than other popular European destinations. Granted that Egypt does fall into a more expensive APD (Air Passenger Duty) zone than European destinations but the flight prices dictate where you will get your holiday to Egypt for a good price or not.

When talking about flights to Egypt, we are talking about the main tourist destinations of Sharm el Sheikh and Hurghada. These two airports serve a number of resorts and although there are also flights from the UK into Cairo, Taba and Marsa Alam, the busiest airports are Sharm el Sheikh and Hurghada.

As with any flights, when looking to save money, flexibility is the key. Egypt is an incredibly popular destination for families so school holidays, prices and availability can be an issue. Where possible, try to travel during term times. Historically, some of the cheapest flight prices are in mid January with flight prices from £150 per person. Coupled with low hotel rates, it is possible to tailor make a holiday for just over £220 (based on 2 sharing) but this obviously depends on the grade of hotel and board basis.Cheap car insurance products have absolutely taken over the insurance market. Like drive through fast food, processed and packaged snack foods, and delivery pizza, the “cheap eats” of the car insurance world is absolutely littered. You really don’t have to go very far on TV, where, especially late at night, insurance products of all sorts are advertised.

The most expensive times of year are Christmas / New Year, Easter and August so if you are looking for a cheap Red Sea holiday and are flexible with your traveling dates, look to avoid these busy times.
