Here we are going on vacation in October to Egypt. Tell me, please, are there any problems with buying a last-minute ticket in October, or is it better to take it in advance?

today the concept of "burning" is dying out as an individual. or there is a throw-in of absolutely not ice hotels. those that are km from the sea, half board and so on.

At the height of the season? Hot cheap? Are there really so many refuseniks or a decline in the flow that there is no problem buying a cheap tour and the problem is only in numbers? Maybe you will be lucky. Unsubscribe later, if not difficult, for what and to which hotel you managed to fly cheaply.

for the sake of interest, type in the search engine on the site "last minute" numbers and so on. requirements. and look. When I look for a hotel, I even punch dates for the nearest five days. never had a bargain price. there are penny tours, but already hotels - without places. Yes, and on the forums of travel agents - some complaints because of the exchange rate and so on.

If only wherever you go, and if only for as long as you are in Egypt, then I am sure that in October you will be able to buy anything.
In a good season, there are not many cheap tours, and taking into account the fluctuations in the exchange rate, all tourists will be very careful when buying a tour.
So you can count on it, but it’s hardly worth counting on a normal hotel with a good reef, but at 3 * a couple of kilometers from the beach, the chances will already be higher.
When there are problems with the exchange rate in the country and refuseniks appear during the season, as a rule, the agency employees themselves or their inner circle outbid a normal tour for cheap. Any nonsense will already hit the market.

If you do not count on a burning one, then how many days is it better to start surfing the sites of tour operators?

You need to surf in advance in order to have time to read reviews of those hotels that fit the budget. And then there are a lot of cases when people rush about in a panic a couple of days before departure, and ask how much they will lose if they replace the paid viper with another hotel. Be the masters of your vacation.

it goes without saying, I wanted to know how many days before departure it is better to book. I think it’s too early for a month, although I don’t even know given the rate fluctuations

No one will give a single piece of advice when it is more profitable to buy a tour that suits you.
As one of the options: if your list contains 5-6 hotels that suit you, then you can simply track their availability on the operator's websites. Once half of the hotels on your list are in the stop, then it's time to buy.
And according to the current situation with the currency, according to my personal forecast, the exchange rate will wander in September, but in general the ruble should grow a little, and in October, especially in the middle of the month, it will again go down.

Yes, either in the stop, or the price starts to creep up, then you have to take it.
Or to give up and hope for a miracle and burning before departure. Yes, sometimes there is a drop in prices. The last end of September was dropped on Triton Empire 3 * in Hurghada for $ 150 from the nose of the week. Bullshit, not a hotel. But on a "normal day" the price is inadequate, like a decent 4 *. And in the season ... They are not at all shy.
Realistically, no one will give a single advice.

To try to catch hot, you need to thoroughly prepare and it’s not a fact that it will fall out. Usually they choose 3-4 hotels from the ones they like and monitor prices. No one will give you a guarantee that the hotel will not go to the stop and there will be places on the plane. You have to keep your finger on the pulse all the time. Also, each operator has different prices for the same hotels. Here, or hope at random and catch what to catch, or after a good job, then have a good rest))))) Everything is not so simple. It has already been explained to you. But sometimes good prices pop up, so study the supply market for yourself to somehow navigate or trust your agent (if you can trust him)

Don't have 100 rubles, but have 100 friends. You need to make a good acquaintance with the travel agency and always keep a packed suitcase.

It is important to monitor not only hotels, but also flights. Last year, I myself got into a situation - in the morning on the website of one TO in a certain direction, for a certain date, there were “a lot of tickets”, and in the evening there were no tickets, I had to fly to the same country, but to another island.
A guaranteed way to relax on hot tours, as AlexP45 wrote, is to have a well-known manager in TA.

we don’t have any acquaintances in the travel agency, and the suitcases weren’t packed, we just sat and watched trips to Egypt in October. We looked at the hotel in which we were - the price was temptingly low - but the hotel was N km from the sea, there was no reef and we didn’t really want to go there, but the price was beautiful. And for the sake of pinning, they pressed any 4 *. The price was also low looked at the photo, the reviews are all class !!! And the day we flew to Egypt in 4 * with 2 children. It was a fairy tale. It's been 3 years and we still remember. But it's a pity the hotel was Italian and it's no longer on our sites. There was good food, and 2 beaches and a reef and entry into the sea, and next to it, divers were brought on ships to look at the beauty of our reef. I think we're just lucky. Then it cost 12000 UAH for 12 days for ALL included. This is with the dollar 8 UAH. We must have been lucky. :-))))

from Russia it was once possible to go to a good hotel for a couple of hundred dollars, and sometimes cheaper, but it was so long ago that many from the site probably didn’t catch it
what times were, oh it's a pity that they have passed

and I have to pull to the last - my nerves can not stand it. Therefore, I book as soon as I see an adequate price for my pocket. last year, for 40 thousand for two, we rested for two weeks in a beautiful hotel. and without tips, and with a daily change of bed linen, and with excellent food. here as luck would have it. good luck to all seekers!

I will make a reservation right away - it's all a matter of taste. it's in dahab, happy life village. shrimp soups - as much as a ladle costs from the density of kretok, 4 types of fish, squids in batter, plus meat, but I don’t eat it, I didn’t be curious. grilled vegetables, five types of cheeses for breakfast, hot pancakes with some delicious coffee sauce and everything else ... the panton is short, the reef is interesting, slides in the pool for kids. yes, and most importantly. On the beach, waiters serve drinks themselves. no tips. they brew wonderful natural coffee and make iced coffee out of it. I got hooked on it there thoroughly. I don't drink alcohol, so I don't know about the quality. this is not an advertisement. and prices have now gone up. as an everywhere. try on i-no. good luck

For the sake of interest, I looked at the price of Happy Life. From Kyiv it starts from $963 in early September and quickly exceeds $1200. A week. Not a little. And in dollars How much did you take it for two weeks?

For this money you can get a wonderful hotel in Sharm. And also go to Dahab. But that's at current prices.

we were in Happy Life last (!) year. for 40 tr. in this we are going to dahab again - well, I just liked the place with silence and lack of animation, there was a stop and so on. only now swung at 21 days. Happy Life was not pulled, we stopped at Tropitel Dahab Oasis. everyone's opinions are different. but we take risks. let it be. in any case, no worse than our native Adler and Tuapse. When people are planning to go abroad, they very quickly forget what conditions they themselves are breaking out of. we are middle class, not rich. and therefore we do not need to "lick" it. If there are any problems, perhaps it will be possible to solve them. something like this

Yes, you correctly noticed where they are breaking out from and what they want to get. For many, unfortunately, the king wakes up on vacation and is expressed in inadequate behavior and requirements. I don't care much for licking either. The main thing is that sanitary standards are observed and the sea is excellent. And if everything is together for adequate money and the hotel is "not in the steppe", then it's great :))
And in terms of price, it turns out that in a year the price has almost doubled with us, with you a little less. It is a pity that hotels do not improve twice :))

dahab - it's still just "in the steppe", in the desert, to be exact. but there are free buses from every hotel to dahab. in dahab a market where they sell everything in the world. I personally liked loofah washcloths. huge sizes for 1-2 dollars. coffee beans, teas, clothes. everything is like everywhere else. We mostly stuck out at sea. and seals on the beach. Well, what else do you need on vacation?

Dahab is for those people who love a more peaceful holiday. There is a lot of activity in Sharm, especially in the center, but there are nice hotels where you can also relax. I myself often run away from Sharm to Dahab, but mostly to the Hilton (rather 4, although 5 is declared) I quickly get tired of Sharm))))) By the way, in Dahab, I really like restaurants to eat on the seashore, and they don’t cook bad)))

I know Egypt superficially, like any tourist who has visited this country a couple of times. in fact, I don't know anything. I was in charm on my very first visit to this country. still did not know anything about the bays and ended up in the nabka. the hotel itself was very good. but in the end, the sea was not enough for me. the first half of the day hung a red flag, sunbathed by the pools, there were a great many of them. music, movement - but there was no sea. and in the afternoon from four o'clock a shadow fell on the pantone. Yes, plus the current is terrible. therefore, I have developed a strong immunity against charm, although there are plenty of other bays, and hotels, and so on. but somehow the village life of Dahab turned out to be closer to the body. in any case, this is a vacation, rest, and God forbid everything will work out for everyone who travels.

probably, nabka is a baptism of fire for beginners in Egypt. you can’t lure experienced people there with a kalach.
