Why are holidays to Egypt so cheap?

Holidays to Egypt are often more affordable compared to other destinations due to several key factors:

  • Living costs: Egypt has a relatively low cost of living compared to many Western countries. Tourists can enjoy affordable hotels, reasonably priced meals, and cost-effective tours, making it a great destination for travelers on a budget.
  • Exchange rates: As time passes, due to currency devaluation, foreign currencies like the USD or EUR have more purchasing power in Egypt; therefore, tourists will spend less in hotels, excursions, or holidays.
  • Very competitive travel industry: In Egypt, tourism is highly competitive, as several travel agencies in the country with their respective airlines compete to attract more travelers through discounted packages. Prices are kept low due to the competition, especially in all-inclusive resorts such as Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada.
  • Government support toward tourism: Egypt's government is active in tourism promotion and tries to provide feasible returns to attract visitors, from investing in infrastructure to improving the security networks and assisting travel agencies in offering cheap holiday packages.
  • Seasonal lowering of prices and offers: Most hotels and airlines have price cuts during the busy and lean travel seasons for increased reservations to Egypt. Traveling is even less expensive in the summertime and also at some other times of the year.

If you're planning a trip, don’t forget to apply for an e-Visa in advance through the system Egypt e-Visa. This ensures a smooth entry process, allowing you to enjoy your vacation without any hassle.
