Egypt in October Prices and where to go?
Gathered to go to Egypt in mid-October. We decided to try Hurghada. I wanted to know about the prices for food and souvenirs, as well as for excursions. Which hotel to choose with comfortable accommodation, but inexpensive.

Prices for souvenirs are ridiculous, the main thing is to bargain. For $7-10 you can buy an excellent hookah, for $2-3 you can buy pareos, all kinds of bracelets, key chains, hibiscus, aromatic oils, Arabic music discs, belts with coins - generally a penny. In general, a lot of money for souvenirs will not go away. Products, except for fruits, are more expensive than ours. A liter bottle of water $1.5, beer $2, cigarettes $2-3 on average (cheaper than duty free). We found only one shop where they sell alcohol in Sharm, everything is quite expensive.

Taking into account the fact that we had "all inclusive", we spent about $ 1,500 for two (2 excursions - a water park and a motorcycle safari, other clubs on average $ 100 for two), souvenirs, calls home, room service.

Great hotels - Jasmine, Aladdin, Ali Baba, Titanic - I don’t want to hang out! There are shows in Titanic every evening! And you don’t have to go anywhere! Well, if for a change! And Hurghada is much more fun than Sharm. times more expensive, or even 2 times. I went to Sharm once and that's it. Only Hurghada !!!

They wrote here - "We found only one shop where they sell alcohol in Sharm." That for a common understanding - in Egypt, the dominant religion is Islam. Therefore, it is forbidden to sell alcohol in stores. It is only available in duty free. In Sharm and in Hurghada there is one such store, in them within 3 days from the moment of arrival on the passport and on the mark of crossing the border you can buy a limited amount of alcohol for currency. The shops are very modest, the prices are so-so - lower than our retail ones, but higher than airport prices

1. My opinion is that it is better to go to Hurghada. Were in Sharm (March 2007, November 2003) and Hurghada (March 2006, March 2005).
2. Of the products they bought only water (1.5-2.5 pounds for 1.5 liters) and fruits (everything Egyptian is cheap from 2-3 pounds bananas, tomatoes up to 6-8 pounds Egyptian exotic). Fresh juice in the hotel £10 (0.25) on the street £4-5 (0.5). It is advisable to buy everything a little away from the main street. Cheap alcohol in duti fries (1 liter cinzano 5 dollars, campari 9 dollars / 1l.) In Sharm, duti fries are 1.5-2 times more expensive. It is better to buy souvenirs in shops. Oil 1-1.5 lbs./g. Figurines are cheaper on excursions to Luxor from locals. Guides say that these are fakes, but I understand that they sell the same thing as in the store. High-quality cotton in the Kartush store. Prices are final, subject to bargaining.
2. Excursions are best taken on the street. Everything is cheaper than the guides. Be sure to visit Luxor ($ 35) with guides 55. I liked diving (not a boat trip and not islands). It costs 2 dives with lunch 25 dollars.
for guides 40 days, without diving (swimming with a mask, snorkel, fins) 12-15 days (in charm 1 dive min. 40 days). Cairo is better to take from guides 55 days (there are fewer people on the bus, you can sleep on the entire seat). Take pillows and blankets from the hotel. Take a few excursions, bargain additionally.
Cool water park in the Titanic hotel. It is better to go after 13.00, pay 12 days, and there is enough time to relax. Sharm 30 days
3. If you plan to go on excursions, it makes no sense to take "all inclusive", all excursions include lunch. I recommend going to the Joker fish restaurant, but not in the Fish House center.
Assorted platter (enough for 3), 3 salads, 3 seafood soups about 100l.
4. Hurghada is very convenient with transport. Minibuses 1 f. I left the hotel and drove off.
(In Sharm, if not in the center, then everything is more complicated and more expensive).
In the very center of Hurghada there is not a bad Regina Style 4 * hotel.
