The budget is limited, young people want to relax in the winter at sea
Friends (a young couple without children, they have never been abroad) asked me if they could meet the 14-15 thousand UAH for two at AllInclusive in Egypt (they want 5 *, but I think 4 * would also suit them). Here we must understand that they really do not understand what they want. From the conversation, I found out that in addition to the tour, they want to take no more than 200-300 money with them. Apparently, excursions are no longer available to them. But in this case, you need the hotel to be with a decent territory and a beach. Maybe try diving. I would just like to give them a list of hotels or companies where their budget can be spent meaningfully) Travel time is December-January (excluding holidays due to higher prices). I don’t know much about Egypt at all, but I would like to help the guys) Thank you

the algorithm is simple: go to any travel agency (to work with at least 4-5 tour operators), voice the budget and start the search with Anex. On the 1st page, you get 3-4 hotels at the lowest price, choose the best of them ... just in case, you can compare with join up and coral, but they will still be more expensive ...

In Sharm El Sheikh, look at hotels for the winter Sharm Plaza, Grand Hotel, Siva Sharm, Grand Oasis. The sea in these bays is calm, for the winter. The prices that year were in the region of $ 300-400 from the bow. Do they want to take 200-300 dollars with them? Grab a few excursions. Or hryvnia? Then only a taxi to the airport is enough.

ser_____Witness77, well, have you read my writings? I don't have to go, I'm not going to Egi at all, I would like the forum members to "scribble" the names of hotels that my acquaintances can fit into. What is needed is the experience and knowledge of members of the forum who know and love Egypt well. For travel agencies, let them go themselves))) We start with Anex, ok. Thank you! But here they would write the "best" hotels at the lowest price)))
orhideya21, yes, 200-300 dollars, sorry, did not indicate. I have already unlearned to think in hryvnia, to be honest. Today, a friend told me the price in hryvnia, and I counted it in dollars) Personally, my opinion is that they don’t need to go on excursions (well, maybe some kind of Luxor). 200 bucks is not enough. Of course, they want to go to the pyramids ... But you yourself understand how much driving is pointless and with such a budget, again.

yes no - you misunderstand what and how it is now in Egypt: hotels are closed in batches, therefore you need to choose from the list proposed by the tour operator ... and not put the cart in front of the kobili (s). So let yours (who are they to you there) tear their ass off the sofa / go to a travel agency (and where else will they buy a tour) and return with a list = and we will choose the best of what is ... and so all yours, cut off from the reality of collecting dead and closed hotels is only Sisyphean labor (for us - advising)

Let them choose hotels in Sharks Bay .., and it’s better to book them now, because in December the price will be higher anyway. Siwa, Grand Oasis. ..It would be nice to know what they want to eat, delicious? sea with fish - a lot of fish?)) discos? -then Naama Bay .. there are no corals, but there are discos)). 200-300 dollars will be enough for them for 3 excursions, or even 4, and also for souvenirs !! It is important not to buy them from a tour operator, but to buy from local travel agencies. In Hurghada, it will be windy, in Sharm, that's it. Still, let the young people go to the site themselves and read reviews and advice, it’s still better .. for them in the first place)

You need to buy 3-4 days before departure, and preferably 12 hours before departure. This is about the period November-April, otherwise you will overpay from 30 to 100% with a probability of about 90%

ser_____Witness77, I agree for Siwa. But in the Grand Oasis they fed better than in many fives! Maybe something has changed now? With the presence of clouds of our countrymen? When we were there .. there were 4 Ukrainians in the hotel, the two of us and mother and daughter ... EVERYTHING!) You read it inattentively, the guys want to go in December-January, so I’m writing to buy in advance. Because in December-January there will either be no tours to normal hotels, or there will be unrealistic prices.

what about Ukrainians? the Arabs themselves grab the grub in the first place ... and that’s not even the point = the chefs there are simply worthless, everything is tasteless or tasteless ... winter-early spring (excluding holidays) - the lowest prices have always been. Was in Grande in February / took the tour in less than 12 hours = $256 single / double was less than 500. For a day, the price was 20-30% higher - and so almost always at Anex = flights are filled ...

Ok, I roughly understood with the "dead" hotels. Thank you. What do they want? Well, like everyone who is the first time, everything at once and for inexpensive. Initially they wanted to go to NG, but IMHO this is not their option) With excursions, on an all-round with booze, in 5 *, on the 1st line and coral and blabla.

"it's better to order them now, because in December the price will be higher anyway."

stupidity, we don't have early bookings...december price will drop and even crash. Right now, for these dates, some kind of horror tricycle is also on HB 15 thousand, the miserable Grand Charm 20. You have to catch from the end of November ... and sir is right, take 3-4 days and it’s at the anex, he coolly merges low dates
From the end of November until roughly December 20th is the most balloon and comfortable time. Then there will be a failure from the end of January to mid-February, but there the weather-sea is more risky
If the hotel is still working, it will last until NG. But for 550 ye (this is if the rate holds), even in the low season you won’t clear up and, as you noticed, you’ll get hungry. It’s better to add pocket ones and take a saucer with a blue border (c)

It will be difficult to fit into that budget in the hotels listed, if you don’t catch a last-minute day or on the day of departure, and ser_____Witness77 in the first post is right how you can look at prices in the future.

klichko, who doesn’t have an early booking?)) but I didn’t say that tomorrow you need to run .. but definitely not two days in advance!)) Well .. at the end of December for December, and buy ?! I don't see the point in paying more. In January, in those numbers. When prices fall .. there is an oak tree .. although for some it is 20 degrees - heat) Everything is relative.

Yes, they need the weather to be swimmable. In order to eat normally (they are just the case when they expect something like that from the rest), they will survive without discos, but so that the sea is (and not just the pool), all sorts of services are somewhat in the background. If they manage to buy a hotel on the first line with a beautiful territory and some goodies in the price of the tour (such as a spa or their own coral), then they don’t need excursions at all! I correctly understood that it is better for them to go to NG, and buy in November, early December? Or should you try ahead of time? It’s a little difficult for me to think for them due to the fact that I’m not interested in this region at all and I’m less constrained in the budget, but for you to understand, they have never been abroad at all, neither on an airplane, nor in a dutik, nor on distant excursions. Today just looked at the map with me, I poked at the pyramids and the distance. When I realized how far to go, I refused myself ...

lana_181, at the wrong address for the house of councils ... we fly to "dubaki" 3-4 times and pray that people like you are not transferred and only multiply ... all the more, the question was raised by a stake about a winter trip
It's lazy to describe how to monitor prices at different TOs, especially at anex. Once again, lip-synching: Watch from the end of November and buy 3-4 days in advance. Prices will fly like hot cakes and the closer to departure, the hotter ... although there are nuances here too (too lazy to explain again) But you can buy right now if you add a little money ;)

klichko, why your rudeness?? January and December in Sharm are different things .. at least you just looked at the weather. Everyone goes and always .. another question is which month is more comfortable and where. I’m not going to respond to a boor for rudeness. Unlike you .. I understand both the weather and the temperature of the water)) well, you know better .. where are we .. ordinary people?))

To be honest... even with current prices, 15k for two is less than 600 bucks. IMHO this can only snatch a burning ticket. There are no good hotels to speak of. Especially in Sharm. If you add those 200-300 bucks that they want to take with them, then there is still a chance to choose a more or less normal 4-ku, perhaps not an expensive 5-ku.
December-January are not the cheapest months in Egypt. Travel agents will certainly correct me. But I think that their words will not differ much from mine.

14 - 15 thousand gr. - this is a little more than 500 dollars by the winter. (Besides the possible growth of the exchange rate, the operators count with a large margin) It is unlikely that you will be able to find a decent double for such money. You can reduce pocket money to 50-80 dollars and do without excursions.

Hatinka, the most reasonable thing to revive the topic when you are ripe for a trip. Let's meet at this place on November 25th, the picture will already be drawn, let's monitor together. No one knows which hotels will be drained and for how much, but for 700-odd it will be possible to rob and warm children (c) But not in the SPA, this bonus is for elite hotels. But the sea is warm in December, we will pick up a delicious windless hotel. By the way, here they are being smart about cold Hurghada ... because it is very south, there are secret hotels and even bays warmer than Sharmovsky, the food is tastier. True, there you will have to dump 50ye for a visa for two, and Sharm is free ...
PS. How much in advance? You can take 10 days, not at the bottom, but it’s still profitable ... decide when you don’t need children))

klichko, yes, I see that it’s too early) But I can generally forget about it, I’m not going to the sea))) I’ll try to cheer up the guy, but in general it’s his task to walk his girlfriend) In 10 days of norms, I’ll let him go vacation. With a correction, these are not children, these are quite adult people, I undertook to help, he asked me, knowing that I travel a lot. But Egypt is generally not my region at all, so there’s nothing to say personally from myself. One hope for members of the forum) Thanks for the honest answers!

Last winter we did not plan to rest in Sharm, but when SMS began to arrive with tours for 149 USD, 180 USD. for a week - we became interested. 5 days before departure, we bought a tour from Anex (2 days before departure, the price increased slightly) and flew the same way as ser_____Witness77 for a penny to the Grand Oasis, we rested with them at the same time. And indeed, the food is taken apart first of all by the Arabs, once I even had to make some noise, because. By the pool, food was given only to their own, local, and tourists were told to wait 10 minutes, 20 minutes ...., and especially the children were waiting for french fries ... after the noise they corrected))

zaeugene, exactly! It’s better not to go along Fortuna for the first time! Let the guys enjoy a good rest and a good hotel. In Hurghada, despite the fact that it is to the south, in winter from December to February, March, piercing winds blow that carry sand from the desert! Swimming at this time there is not very comfortable. so it's better to choose Sharm. And the wind is less and the water is warmer and there is where to go.
