there are 3 sea excursions that are about the same - a fun trip, El Gouna, a paradise island, cost 50-60 dollars, there is a bathyscaphe, look at corals - 40-45 if I'm not mistaken, in general there are a lot of interesting things, by the way, depending on which tour operator you are from eat, you can see everything on their website

Be sure to visit Luxor. The tour is of course tiring (although the organizers are trying: a bus with air conditioning, a TV and a toilet), but very rich and interesting. The price depends on the distance and on the place of purchase (for example, from Hurghada it is cheaper than from Mras Alam) ranges from 60-90 USD per person

yes, Luxor is very worth it ... Especially if the guide is good. And take plenty of water and a pillow from your room to the bus. It will not be so scary from their driving ... :)

if you haven’t chosen a hotel yet, I advise "Titanic Water Park " 4 *, the child will like it, and adults too, they were there in September, boat trips: it’s better not just to a paradise island (desert + water), but corals + fishing + a paradise island, all in one, it will be more interesting if you like to dive, go diving, Hurghada is a garbage dump and pestering Arabs, well, cheap souvenirs

In September, we took an excursion to the "paradise island" in the agency opposite our hotel ("Sultan Beach"). The cost is $15. The tour went off with a bang. Lunch is included in the price. Masks and fins are given out when boarding the boat. Two stops on the coral reefs, and then 1.5 hours on the beach on "paradise island". The entire event runs from 9 am to 4 pm.

Personally, I was on two excursions by sea, I really liked it, by the way they are allowed to control the ship, the children were delighted. Take excursions in agencies, and not from representatives of your company, it will be cheaper. I advise you to ride quad bikes in the desert. Luxor liked it, but children at that age, according to my observations, not very much.

It is cheaper to take tours not from tour operators. We arrived 5 days ago - in Hurghada the horror itself and there is nothing to do. Were on excursions Paradise Island - $ 15, El Gouna (also on a yacht by sea with a stop for swimming and a visit to the aquarium and lunch, a boat trip along El Gouna) - $ 25, quads (individual tour) - $ 25, Luxor - ind. tour - 85 USD Need a phone number or travel agency website - please contact)

We always took boat trips from local hotel rental companies (marine equipment rentals). Some of them even have their own yachts. You just have to bargain really well. We took a yacht for $100 for 4 hours. There were 15 people. True, without lunch, but in 4 hours we did not die of hunger, but we saw corals and caught fish. Take excursions somewhere further in agencies outside the hotel and bargain too. There are many shops in Hurghada, you can walk around, and if you want cheap fruit, then go to the old market. We bought 22 kg of grenades there for $10. Then it turned out that they overpaid 2 times, because they bargained badly. But it is very dirty there, although this should also be seen as an attraction. It will be very interesting for a child in the Titanic, only recently queues have appeared there and there are not always enough circles for everyone. You can go to 1001 nights yourself, it will be much cheaper.
This is at the Leila wa Leila hotel, buy tickets there, just find out what day the performance is in Russian. It is very beautiful to walk from the Grand Hotel to McDonald's near Sindbad in the evening, just like an evening walk. If you were without a child, you can go to a disco in the city and, in my opinion, that's it.

In Luxor, with a child, it will be hard, and probably not very interesting

Cairo, Luxor - it's really hard with a child. Everything is interesting by sea, but without going down under the water you will not see all the beauty :) The cost depends on where to buy. We traveled with Teztour - they did everything cheaper or 5-10 dollars more expensive, but at the same time, insurance remains and Russian-speaking guides are provided to you. The only cheaper we found diving for 40 USD two dives for half an hour, the operator -60 USD 2 dives of 15 minutes. It is better not to go to the old city - there is nothing interesting there, but in the new one I strongly advise you to visit the fish restaurant "Fish House" and taste their seafood soup (10-15 pounds), grilled shrimp (40-90 pounds - depends on the size) you will be pleasantly surprised by the portion size and taste;) have a nice rest :)

Singing Fountain at the Golden Five Hotel
not worth taking as a tour
catch a taxi 10-15 pounds to this hotel
and at the entrance you either get in for free (like you live there), or pay 7 dollars for the entrance ... I don’t remember the price. either 7 or 15
And the guides charge 40 dollars for this. They will take you by bus to collect the rest of the poor fellows from hotels for an hour. then 20 minutes of the fountain and the dance of a man with skirts (in the same place, after the fountain). $40 is definitely not enough. especially when you consider the cost price that I wrote above. If other folklore is included in the program (they say they will take it somewhere else), don’t be fooled. All this local flavor is school skits and Ukrainian-Tunisian remakes. Unfortunately.
