How to get to Egypt: prices, popular hotels, road

Tour operators believe that word of mouth helps - there are reviews of the first travelers who were in Pyramid Land.

 

The maximum cost of a tour to Egypt, which tourists are willing to pay, is estimated to be 80 thousand. Host travel agencies Egypt We are talking about the demand for holidays in Hurghada, its hotels work with a good load and without Russians.

 

For domestic travel agencies, there is a “spoon of tar”: after the May holidays, the demand for Egypt on “overhead” flights will be asked for due to affordable Turkey. The discovery of Egypt before the May holidays experts are not sure.

 

For 2 months, NewTravelers has opened Egypt with regular flights from more than 10 cities of Russia. Book good 4 and 5-star hotels in Sharm El Sheikh <...> many chain hotels of Red Sea resorts continued to function. "The tourists returned quite satisfied - the food is good, the drinks are about the same in all hotels, the sea is warm," said V. Shubin, a representative of NewTravellers.

 

Travelers book tours for 7-10 nights, and orders are made a month and a half before the start of the trip.

 

Since April 27, a 4* hotel with all-inclusive meals costs from 75’000 rubles for a week for two in DBL, and 5* from 95’000. If they open direct flights, which I strongly doubt, then I do not think that the price will fall much, while we must not forget about the level of service that provides regular flights, says V. Shubin.

 

Experts hosting travel agencies in Egypt say that the tourist flow from Russia does not seriously affect the local market.

 

Retail experts note that the demand is not hype: First, tours to Egypt offer the “overwhelming minority” of tour operators. Tourists, and primarily tourists with children, are afraid of “crooked” flights with connections, said A. Mkrtchyan, director of travel agencies “Pink Elephant”.

 

Travel with transfers are not bought by tourists “above the average segment”, who can pay for tours of 120-150 thousand and above. Mostly for those who choose Egypt now, a weekly tour should not exceed 80 thousand rubles in DBL for two, that is, this is an average “five” based on “all inclusive”. But while traveling mainly tourists in 3-4 stars for 60-65 thousand, with such prices Egypt simply has no alternative, said Mkrtchyan.

 

He is sure that this is the main problem of the Egyptian direction on the "transfer". These programs will be successful until the May holidays, when the sea is cold in Turkey. Their client will then switch to Turkey if Egypt is not opened by then.”
