Why are there no facepalm pictures here?)) Girl, why do you need all this ?? You clearly answered that the price suits you completely)) What else do you need?? Will it be cheaper, perhaps, will it be more expensive, perhaps))
That's how we can know whether you bought expensive or not, not knowing what kind of hotel, how many days you are flying?
As for me, a great price for the Continental for 7 days and terrible for three)))

If you are attached to the hotel, it is better now. If you are experienced, then there are always last-minute offers and it is worth hard surfing tours for a week, prices change 5 times a day. It happens on Mon after 18.00 the cheapest with a flight to Thu-Sun, it happens in a couple of days. If time does not limit, then you should look at 12 days, they are cheaper than 7. Although I would not fly to Egypt at that time, the water is +32, in the shade +55, you will sit in the room all day under air conditioning, the alternative is Turkey (Kemer or Marmaris, and with better food)

Pavel1900 I ask those people who travel often know when it is more profitable to take. Yes, I'm happy with the price. But if I buy now, and then the tour for 3-4 thousand will be cheaper? Sorry, this is not small money! Not everyone gets 20 thousand a month or more. Hotel 5*, 6 nights 7 days, Sharm Grand Plaza
Larik1971 thanks for the answer

If September can be more expensive than a tour, in August it can be quite cheap due to the heat
Was last year in Reef Oasis in mid-August the price was lower than in September

Lina, I bought tours several times 1 day before departure. The period that you have outlined for yourself (August-September) is good. Especially in the numbers of August 30.31 - September 1. Very often, tour operators make good discounts. I'll explain why. At the very end of August, many parents with children return from the resorts (because the school begins) and a situation arises when you have to pick up passengers on a lot of charters, and not much to take to the resort. There may be discounts up to the cost of the tour.

As I understand it, you are flying in early September? 6 nights for three, quite a reasonable price, I would take it now. But if it so happens that a thousand will be cheaper before departure, please do not choke there) The money is not worth it, at least this)
Sorry, for the offtopic, but what else is there in Urkanistan such salaries up to 20 thousand? did not know)
Py PY sy, discussed on the branches a million times, it is optimal to take to Igypyt 7-10 days before departure, in most cases this is the best price for the price. I don’t recommend it for less days, maybe a great price for a hotel, but there will be no more charter tickets.

September in Sharm is the beginning of the high season. The price for the tour in dollars will be the same. It all depends on whether the Russians will go to Sharm, if they do, then the price when buying in August will be higher. When buying a tour in advance, you credit the tour operator for free at the same time fix the price in hryvnia, and then it is quite possible that in September there will be a win if the rate of “paper” to money becomes, say, 30. In any case, hotel prices in Sharm depend on the season and very little depends on payment term

Pavel1900 about salaries, I have to ask you) you live in Kyiv, judging by the questionnaire. Answer the question: what is the salary if you rent an apartment in Kyiv from 7000 thousand somewhere, hell knows where, one-room apartment? And also live, refuel a car?
And pysy! Don't choke yourself. Money is earned through hard work. And every penny is also money.
Good luck to you!

Every time I go to the tourist truth, I am convinced that some people are rotten .. a person simply asked a question about what interests him, and there are such individuals who begin to SCAM everything in the world! Either the hotel is shit, or they chose the wrong season, or something else then .. such as Pavel1900. For the latter, “Igypyt” is probably equivalent to Urzuf. Well you know..

I would buy now and never look at prices again. Prices for tours are not predictable, because they depend on many components. We came to take a month and a half, looked, listened, decided to think. A week later for 300 dollars. the same hotels are more expensive. Then, during the month, prices jumped either up or down.

From 25 to 1 September - prices always fall.
If you do not have an "exceptional hotel" Such hotels can be sold out.
Although - and this is unlikely!

I wouldn't rush. It is at the end of August that prices are traditionally reduced. Vacations are taken out en masse, and the sides must be closed for departure to egi. The question is when to catch the price, and many will catch these dates. Must be constantly monitored

I would take it now too. How Russian tourists are expected here ..... While we were driving to the hotel from the airport, the guide buzzed our ears about the first two planes from Russia (true to Cairo, but they are really looking forward to them here). The price in dollars may not change, but the exchange rate, the number of seats on the flight (there should be no problems with hotels, but again, if the Russians do not trample, Turkey has risen in price this year) but for the plane .... All this roulette. I think it will be possible to fly somewhere, but you yourself say that money is hard to come by and you don’t want to spoil your vacation. I often look at what is offered as a last minute or at a minimum price and there are few decent options, especially for traveling with kids. And where you want ..... If you are sure of the hotel, take it and do not think. If you chose based on the price and are ready to replace the hotel, then wait - it's not even May yet. It is possible for a month - another, to monitor. I always take it in advance, but it’s so convenient and calm for me that there will be a hotel chosen by me, a departure at the right time, and so on.

Keep in mind this moment, here many "experts" directly practically claim that prices are falling at the end of August due to the outflow of ours, and so, nifiga!
The price is formed not due to the outflow of our places and places in charters, but to the occupancy of hotels, especially local and Arabs, and so at this time they will be at 80-90% in all hotels, because. they have holidays for children not like ours until September 1st, but until September 22nd. So I advise you with accuracy not to hope that the price will "fall" during this very period, it will be the same plus or minus as in August.

I want to support Pavel1900 by "many "experts"" there are those who write "From September 25 to September 1 - prices always fall." , but an erroneous opinion has been made, probably because "many "experts"" do not go anywhere but copy the description of the hotels they pass off as their knowledge and that they were there, as it is in the question above with the hotel in Turkey Eftalia Island 5 *. Or when a family with a child asks for a hotel with a sandy beach in Turkey, such an "expert" is advised to choose the club zigana hotel, assuring that the pebbles have been changed to sand there. What trust can be in such "experts"
And if something is wrong with such "experts", then as lina.fursova wrote "Every time I go to the tourist truth, I am convinced that some people are rotten .."
For example, this year, Eid al-Adha begins on August 21, which means hotels will be packed with tourists from Egypt and other Muslim countries celebrating this holiday. Definitely the prices of the tours will go up.

princesMulan - Your post with a big claim to the authoritative opinion of a very experienced tourist. Although in your profile there is only one review about a trip to Egypt. You wrote about Eid al-Adha, so it just ends on August 25th. I'm wondering if you ever bought a tour for the period of late August - early September?

kara77 I bought myself a tour from August 31st to September 8th at Reef Oasis Beach last year. This hotel was advertised by all travel agencies and the price at the beginning of August differed by $200 less than at the beginning of September. At this hotel, the price increased by $200 for this period

lina.fursova, I would take a tour now and live in anticipation of the rest, and not twitch every day, monitoring prices. In my experience, tours get more expensive closer to departure. And do not listen to +55 in early September, nonsense. Approximately +36+38, but there is no humidity, the heat is easily tolerated. And the sea is just great!

So many connoisseurs.... According to my experience (and it is big), buying a tour is such a roulette.... There are many different components that can affect the price... The price has fallen a little - the rate has jumped, the rate is normal - the price has risen. Prices have dropped off-season (or not the best time to visit). Trying to win 1-2 thousand UAH, you can lose more. When buying a tour for a family (2+2 children), I monitored prices that jumped 200-900 ye for our composition. Naturally, I was waiting for a better price and bought it when the price dropped as much as possible + they made a discount. Your price for 2 + 1 (the age of the child is unknown (if a heart attack, then in fact a tour for 2, if older, then apparently the hotel is average) is there any point in waiting ..... Not the price you have, but the rest time is excellent , my favorite period, but at work I can’t rest at this time.
