Which city in Egypt should I go to and when should I book (in advance or last minute)?
Dear tourists! My husband and I are going to Egypt for the first time (as Turkey was). Vacation in November. We would like to ask for your advice! Which hotel (good five, location, food, wi-fi!). Also, can anyone tell me. Book a ticket in advance (now) or wait for last-minute? Thanks

Regarding the time of buying a tour, we usually buy somewhere in 2 weeks. On burning there may not be the hotel you need. For about a month, regularly visit the tour search site. A very tempting offer might pop up. Do not be surprised if you see that the price for a longer tour is lower (you need to "grab" it))) than for a tour of a shorter duration. Early booking for Egi is not very important.

I can say so! If you are flying to Egypt for the first time, then you will like everything. So it was for me for the first time.
Then I began to see flaws, the only thing I constantly admire is the Red Sea with its underwater world. The main thing, after the sea, is the issue with the winds. Winds start from the desert, in Sharm el-Sheikh - this is the Nabq region, there the sea is open, the excitement is stronger, it blows over. Therefore, the bays near Soho, the Naami-bey area, in Hadaba, the Old Town are selected. There is also wind in Hurghada, you need to make sure that the landscape, buildings and vegetation (palm trees, trees) do not let the winds run wild, there are also fewer hotels with their own coral reefs in Hurghada.
This is somewhere a general principle, and now you will be offered various hotels, where someone likes something, there will be a lot of them, so sort them so that your head does not spin.

As for the city, Sharm is better for November (there are a lot of fish and less wind). Try to choose a calm bay (Nabq is the most windy bay in Sharm).

It has already been discussed repeatedly, it is best to take a tour 5-10 days before departure.
Unless you know exactly what time of the year you are planning to travel, the best price to get to a specific hotel is for the nth number of days.

I'll add my 5 cents. I completely agree with everything written above, but there is a possibility that Egypt will still open for Russia and then it is very difficult to guess what will happen in November and for how much it is very difficult to book. At the moment, Egypt is an excellent, fairly inexpensive country for a comfortable stay, and even if the desired hotel is in the foot, you can consider another one.

we were in November from 17 to 26, in Sharm, the Domina Coral Bay hotel, the weather is beautiful, a huge well-groomed territory, everything is in flowers, the food is also normal, a lot of fruit. There are 7 hotels on this territory for different tastes and finances, we ordered Oasis, and They settled us in Aquamarine. There are a lot of beautiful fish and live corals.

from St. Petersburg burning you can not wait. With a child, Sindbad Aqua, the 4 star hotel in Hurghada was a great success until the cancellation of Egypt. Lilyland is also Hurghada, also with a water park, but there are bungalows, the main building is not very good. Now I do not know(

To the question *Which hotel (good five, location, food, Wi-Fi!) * - you answered correctly -alex45-.
To the question * Should I book a ticket in advance (now) or wait for last-minute ones? * - I track the prices of a month for 3, taking into account that I remember the prices of previous years, certain hotels I would like to go to.
Last minute vouchers are a flexible concept, say from Kharkov - there are practically none, they happen from Kyiv (this is due to the number of flights), but from Kyiv it’s a bummer,
+ everything is usually a good price today for tomorrow, and this is not acceptable for everyone.

I completely agree with what Alex45 wrote. I have been to Egypt 5 times. So I can add:
1. There is no good Wi-Fi in Egypt. Buy a SIM card right away, it's inexpensive and communicate with your family for health.
2. Shark Bay with Soho Square is the best place. Good reef, beautiful square, singing fountains, good communication with the Old Market (minibuses). We were there in 2015 at the Island View Resort, we liked it more than in other places. You can swim there only from a pontoon, so you need to either be able to swim or bring armlets with you.
3. Timing: October is better than November. So, if you have a holiday in November, try to take it at the beginning of November, not at the end. Although, year after year is not necessary.

There are practically NO hotels in Hurghada with their own coral reefs. But the quality of the beaches in Hurghada is better.

just don’t take a sim card at the airport, it’s better in the salon opposite the pyramid supermarket, the rest is lit.

In November, you don’t have to bother which city to fly to, if you are interested in a good sandy beach and a sandy entry into the sea, I advise you to pay attention to Makadi and Sahl-Hashish bays, if you decide to fly through Kyiv, then in early November there will be no last-minute tours because . at the end of October, beginning of January, school holidays in Ukraine, and then they begin in Belarus. Belarusians fly up to 50% on Kiev flights, so they are cheaper by $ 200-300, so discounted tours will be from November 15. For other questions, write to [email protected]

City I would choose 100% Charm. It is better to buy a tour in advance. We've always done that. And the hotel was chosen good and the departure time can be picked up in both directions. And the last time they took a chance, they thought maybe a burning tour would come across and in the end they chose from what was left free and the departure time from Egypt was only at 6:00 in the morning. It's terrible, it turns out to pay for the day in vain
