Is it possible to pay extra for dinner at the hotel?
We do not want to pay for ALL INCLUSIVE, because we do not drink alcohol at all, but would like to have the opportunity to dine. As far as I understand, the prices for lunch in the main restaurant and ala carte are different...

It is not necessary to pay and dine at the hotel. You can do it in the city if you live not far away. There and cheaper and a variety of restaurants in more. We had dinner once, paid 55 pounds ($11) for two.

When was it (dinner $11)? We just don't know the current prices - so it's hard to figure out what is more profitable - to buy ALL or pay for HB, and dine there in a restaurant.

Egypt is big, if your hotel is located in the city, then you can dine in street cafes, and if it is far from the center, then it is best to arrange FB full board full board - breakfast, lunch and dinner (buffet).

Thank you very much for your help! We hope everything will be fine with us.

I think all the same is better. There, after all, not only alcohol is included but also simple non-alcoholic drinks. On the beach you always want something to drink water, cola, tea, coffee - and it's not cheap if you buy at the hotel. Don't carry it all in your bag. Previously, the difference was not a big all and half board, though I don’t know how it is now. My friend a year and a half ago decided to save money and took half board, said that it cost three roads, despite the fact that she lived in the center of Hurghada. Said it was the first and last time......:)

I advise you to take ALL, because in the end you are unlikely to gain anything.

I completely agree with all the advice, but my director, an experienced tourist, gives 2 reasons why ALL is not worth taking - they say, there will be more variety on your menu - the main restaurant will get bored after 3 days with its monotony, and the second - paying extra for self-catering - for the money it will turn out the same as ALL - which I doubt very much!
And for me - I paid for everything and my head does not hurt. But they took water to the room, and it was enough even for brushing your teeth, not only to drink.

I support everyone who answered the ALL account - it's worth it, believe me. It's not just about alcohol, non-alcoholic drinks on the beach and near the pool, and even in the heat, will cost you a "good penny". You are going to rest and relax, right? Anyway, in the end, ALL will come out cheaper than half board + spending on drinks, lunches, snacks on the beach

The way your director thinks most foreigners. And before the invasion of our tourists in Egypt, hotels with the "all inclusive" regime could be counted on the fingers of one hand. This is a figurative expression. This does not mean that I have seven fingers on my hand. But foreigners do not distinguish between 50-100 dollars per person in the budget. And they are used to restaurant food. In my experience. If you are going to have lunch every day and do not travel much on excursions, then you will not save on half board.
Also, la carte, as a rule, work only in the evenings.

The difference between HB and ALL is $300. So far we have stopped at HB, because they said that it would be possible to choose breakfast + dinner or breakfast + lunch. We think to choose breakfast + lunch, and in the evening it is more convenient and pleasant to get out for dinner in the city or go to la carte.

All the same, ALL is more profitable, we never drank their alcohol, but ordinary water, juices, ice cream, because in the heat you want more than usual, and water, beer, juices are expensive.

If you choose breakfast + lunch, you will be very sorry, because. the best food at dinner - variety in dishes, etc. And again, as it was already written above, during the day it will be possible to drink near the pool or on the beach only for an additional fee. It’s better to stop at ALL, then you yourself will not regret making such a choice. The difference, all the more so, is not so big, you can spend it all on the purchase of what you have not included in the ALL.
аватар Muckat
I highly recommend you to take ALL. We were in Sharm with friends: my wife and I took ALL, and they took breakfast + dinner. So then they were very sorry and envied us, because. they didn't have enough food.
аватар Bysinochka
Take ALL. Anyway, it will be better so that you don’t have to go anywhere to drink, look for where to buy, etc.
