Is it worth it to go to Egypt for the May holidays? Or is it better to go to Turkey?
I wonder what is cheaper during this period, Egypt or Turkey?

For several years in a row, prices have been about the same. It is necessary to look at the weather (for example, in May 2008 in Turkey it was cool and rainy, and in Egypt it was good (28-30 degrees in Hurghada during the day, 20-22 at night))

I won’t say cheaper about it, but I have already definitely chosen Egypt for myself because of the sea, ribbon and corals. It’s worth the trip.

In May, it will still be cool in Turkey, I mean the sea, but of course you can sunbathe. If you want to dive, then only Egypt. The prices are almost the same, again, what kind of vacation, hotel you are counting on.

In May, Turkey is significantly cheaper than Egypt.
It is still impossible to swim comfortably in Turkey.

Gentlemen experts, let's be more competent.
Again.
During the May holidays, Egypt is more expensive than Turkey.
For those who do not believe in the word.
Departure from Kyiv on April 30 for a week, for two, all inclusive, at a price of $ 1,500 a bunch of decent hotels -
Club Boran Mare Beach hv1
Club Phaselis hv1
5*
Sunland Resort & Spa 5*
Elize Beach 5*
etc.
In Egypt at this price Eiffel 2*
For papa74. You are a very experienced traveler. Therefore, to see such your assessment of the work of operators is somehow unexpected. The price is determined by the ratio of supply and demand. In any business. What business do you work in? I would like to see a segment of the market in which people do charity work.
You probably know that both carriers and hotels set higher prices for the high season.

My previous post is not about charity, but about a divorce for money!
The May holidays are not the days of workers, but the festivities of thieves. a working person for such a price will not go to rest.

My little analysis of the hotel, where I'm going (sya?):
Driving, not on a burning one, in December, the Sierra cost -1445 $ (DBL) a child $ 275 (SPO TEZtour 143 D-SSH from 12/4/09).
April 29DBL-2319$,child $570.Is this normal?
The carrier doubled the price of an air ticket for a child (570/275 = 2.07 more than 2 times). For a double, 2319-1445 = $ 874 stuck. rest once).
And seasonality is a fictional stamp of operators and agents. See off-sites of the same Sierra, numbers at any time of the year are the same.
You yourself know about the price tags on the doors in hotels in Egypt - they everywhere have the same amount and seasonality does not affect them in any way.

I know what I'm writing about.
But you asked - I checked again. On the Sierra website - a day in March costs 240 euros, from May 1 to May 9 - 320 euros.
In price analysis you are right. They are higher. But where does the "divorces" and "cutting" here. There are no good or bad people in business. Some are effective and some are not. When demand increases, prices rise. Everyone. Not only operators. Sierra then also "brings". Agencies generally live on a percentage of the price set by the operator. And they are interested in fair prices. The lower the price, the more tourists travel, the more income.
I'm not defending, I'm explaining how it works.

Absolutely insignificant rise in price, where you took the price did not understand.
I think the link to the offsite will remain:

for Papa74 and Hotline
Accidentally "wandered" to the discussion, tk. I was looking for the best hotel in Sharm.
Sierra considered, but refused the proximity of the airport.
Because here the prices on the site are raised from 240 euros to - 320 euros.
But apparently the holidays there are in a different period,
This high price is from April 1st to April 9th.
But, all the same, tours appear and are cheaper closer to the holidays.
But, I, too, do not really like flying on holidays, and not only because of the price - but also because of the large number of people.
For inochkaua:
And there are prices for $ 1500 for 2 people, And for now, there are still a lot on the website for a vacation on May 2:
of the hotels that I considered:
Renaissance Golden View Beach $1777 for 2 (FB)
HOTEL MELIA SINAI (All) $1848 for 2
So if Egypt is more expensive, then not much.
If you like the warm sea, then it is better to go to Egypt,
for me, for example, it’s comfortable at sea, only above +27.
Good luck to everyone, and good mood!

For papa74.
Indeed, 320 euros is from 1 to 9 April.
But the principle remains the same. Prices change at the Sierra itself. Only in the period March - May the price changes 4 times. And in May it is more expensive than today. And after May 9 the cheapest. And carriers raise prices for May.
And you wrote - "See the off-sites of the same Sierra, the numbers are the same at any time of the year."
And for operators, the difference in the price of today's and holiday package tours to Sierra differs by $ 25 per person per day. And this package price, including the cost of flights, insurance and transfers, is cheaper than the indicated prices for accommodation on the Sierra partner website (without flights, insurances and transfers).
Therefore, I still do not support your indignation against the operators. I am not defending operators. I explain how the market works. There are no extra links on the market for a long time. Each has its own objectively necessary function.

The difference is 16 euros ($ 25), well, it doesn’t fit in with $ 1169 for a week ($ 25x7 = $ 175, but they threw it 10 times).
I don’t care about the links of the chain, I’m a tourist. I look at the price tag, and it GROWS. And much and immediately, I conclude for myself that I DO NOT go. I’m waiting for others to do this, then the price will be on the side of the buyer of the service (tourist). With Sierra, the number will not "pass" - I understand, well, we will look for it with "mother-of-pearl buttons" ...
I followed the market, the operators pull up prices in front of each other. When I was going in December (I watched Radisson El Quseir, Pegasus had $ 1250 DBL in a month, Tez pulled it up to $ 1400, a week later Pegasus pulled it up to $ 1450. The result was I went to Sunrise Garden for 1200
There are hopes for HOT offers. I am allowed such a luxury, but I can’t take my friends with me ...

I understand your emotions. But what about greedy operators?
Today a week tour to Sierra costs $1,700 for two
for May with a departure on April 28 - 2100.
I don't see the $1169 difference.
No need to compare mid-December prices with May holiday prices. The same reason - supply and demand.
The same situation as in mid-December will be in mid-April. This is the law of supply and demand. Few people can, but planes need to fly. You drove in December under an SPO issued on December 4th. It will also be released in early April for flights on April 15-23.

But according to the price increase on the Sierra website, the increase is $175, and your price is 2100-1700=$400. Who needs $225? You understand how "preferential" tariffs are for operators, that the calculated weekly rise of $ 175 does not affect the price at all.
I read a forum at a competing site, as when announcing holidays from April 1 to April 10, in 3 hours, the operators cut through everything and raised prices ... everything is "documented" ... the issue price is DBL-300 $ (I don’t remember exactly, but if I need to find and I’ll drop it in a personal), but it normally comes out from the plane at $ 23 thousand ...

$225 - to the carrier. Even regular flights on holidays are more expensive. You yourself wrote about it.
Why do you dislike operators so much? Sierra also raised prices for holidays - one and a half times. Wrote about it above.
Write about Sierra - greedy, cut through, etc.
Once we argued about the TEZ-express.
And after that, I hoped that you would understand that the reality is not our subjective ideas. And in this case the situation is the same. Hotels, carriers, operators on the one hand and poor or greedy tourists with a drung are not to blame. The purpose of the business is to blame - making a profit and the desire of the tourist - to get as much as possible for their money. And no one blames the tourist for this. But the operators should not be blamed indiscriminately. We ourselves are to blame - we did not allow the construction of communism.
