If you are in the mood for a variety of excursions, then there is no point in buying an expensive hotel. The sea with fish will be provided to you on sea excursions, where it is easy to get there))) Prices for excursions are very different - tour operators are more expensive, street agencies are cheaper.

In order not to be expensive, it is better to buy excursions on the street (from the locals) And you choose the excursions for yourself, which ones you want, and the prices for them are different. A walk along the sea with fishing ~ $ 20

And I think that excursions "from the street " are not the best option (I was on one with fishing, ended up in the police ...), operators are more reliable. And if you want to visit the pyramids, then it’s better by plane, because. by bus and from Sharm and from Hurghada far and tiring (believe me, the pyramids are not worth it), the excursion to Luxor is much more interesting. I visit Egypt very often, if you are specifically interested in something, write to the blog. Have a nice holiday!

From Hurghada it is best to go on excursions. It is located in the middle of all excursion routes. Ride from your operator or from street agencies - you choose. I'll just set prices. Were in Hurghada on December 17th. Cairo 1 day - $ 95 (60), Luxor - 85 (50), jeep safari - 45 (25), motorcycle safari on quads 60 (35), submarine - 50 (45), trip to corals - 45 ( 20). 1001 Nights takes place at Leila Wa Leila Hotel, Russian Days on Wednesdays. A ticket at the entrance costs 20 pounds, almost $ 4, from a tour operator $ 15. Water park at the entrance $ 25 per adult per day, operator 35. It often happened that we traveled on the same bus with tourists who took tickets 2 times more expensive from the tour operator (we always traveled from street agencies), but sometimes it was like that that united in one bus a group in three languages and the translation was rubbish. There was no difference in corals. It all depends on the boater. They are afraid that there is no insurance on excursions from a street agency. Oops-read the insurance policy-"throughout the country".
Some agencies sell excursions in packages, so it's even cheaper. Choose a cheap hotel, buy a package of excursions and the whole of Egypt is yours for little money. By the way, the pyramid plane is $350.

I pinned the phrase"pyramids are not worth it "))) Not even funny. Indeed, the tour is tiring, but these are the Pyramids - the only surviving Wonder of the World. They are worth a lot more. Go, you definitely won't regret it! It is easier by plane, but three or four times more expensive ...

I completely agree with olena-ru-ua, I feel sorry for the people who saw the only wonder of the world and the only thread connecting us with our ancestors who lived 5000 years ago and in a civilized way!!!! And after that to say that the pyramids are not worth it!!!! That's horrible!!!! Go, go, be sure to open your eyes, soul, heart and feel how it's worth it? Why go then to Egypt, if you do not understand the PYRAMIDS, swim at home in the pool. Just for my own safety, I recommend booking all tours with your guide. Good luck!

Regarding "I pinned the phrase "the pyramids are not worth it" I can say the following: if you are in Yegi for the first time and went on an excursion to the pyramids, then YES, it's possible Super!But after the majestic temples of southern Egypt (Luxor, Edfu, Kom Ombo , Aswan, etc.) the pyramids look like three empty triangles in a dirty, noisy city!IMHO, there is nothing to do in Cairo without Alexandria.

Regarding the last remark: I think it is incorrect to compare the later monuments of pagan architecture in Edfu, Kom Ombo and even Abu Simbel with the pyramids of Giza. Otherwise, their historians (and not experts in the direction of Egypt) would have ranked among the wonders of the world. And to go there or not - everyone decides for himself. If a person loves snorkeling or scuba diving, but is not interested in history or religion, why should he look at the temples of pagan gods?

to get acquainted with the antiquities of Egypt, indeed, it is better to go to Hurghada, and choose a decent * with half board for your vacation, why pay for something that you will not use? I did the same - I was twice in Hurghada: the first time I visited Cairo and the pyramids, and the second time I visited Luxor and El Gouna. And for a comfortable stay on the all-inclusive system - already in Sharm el-Sheikh, from it closer to Jerusalem, although also tiring, more than a day on the road.

I don’t know who was so delighted with the Pyramids, but I remain of my opinion (you can evaluate it as you wish), I visit Egypt 4-5 times a year, I have been on almost all excursions. And for me personally, Luxor and the Valley of the Pharaohs, Edfu, Kom Ombo, a cruise on the Nile is much more interesting, and Alexandria and the National Museum in Cairo ... maybe I just expected more from the Pyramids ... but, really, everyone decides for himself. ..Good luck to everyone and enjoy your holiday!

If you are planning a lot of excursions, then if I were you, I wouldn’t bother too much about the hotel - you won’t have much time to enjoy all the “charms” of “all-inclusive” and stardom. Take a C grade with half board. As for excursions, a trip to Luxor is a must - super, a lot of impressions ... A walk along the Nile, Temples, Tombs ... We are left, so to speak, "in the grip" :)))
