Cheaper or more expensive, you need to look and consider where the tour is cheaper to buy or book a hotel and buy tickets, you need to understand your budget, the number of days of rest, how many tourists plan to rest
"For a short time, for example, 3 * with breakfast and dinner" - if there are a lot of such hotels in Sharm for habib meetings, you can look at the approximate prices on booking.com.
аватар Slav_na
for example (although this is not Egypt, but not the essence): they took a week to Orange County with a flight of 25k for two. and on the spot the same room cost 200 oyrov per day ... I don’t know why such prices, but!
I think you need to call in advance to the place of interest and find out so that it is not excruciatingly expensive

If you catch a cheap last-minute flight from a tour operator (this sometimes happens) for 50 dollars one way, that is, it makes sense on the spot or better through booking (sometimes even cheaper) take a triple or 4 * for 10-15 dollars / day. But it's better to look for a burning tour. Many "loners" took it that way.

Book - either booking, or on the hotel website. You have already been advised about the transfer.

Thanks everyone for the replies! I looked at Booking, it’s not very cheap, from 2700 the price starts for 3 * per night, I thought maybe if it would be cheaper to come to the hotel, I want to take it for 2 weeks

Officially, the hotel will not be able to offer you a price lower than the price for a similar room on booking, otherwise the hotel will very quickly disappear from this site by paying a decent fine. Below you can agree not officially on the spot and then if the floor of the hotel is empty.

Alsukazan12, it will not be cheaper on the spot, it will be more expensive than on booking, because Booking does not include local taxes +28%. A friend got it this way: she booked a hotel, tickets separately (from Moscow), flew to the hotel, and it turned out that for this money, instead of all-inclusive, she could only be offered breakfast and dinner.
From my own experience: I have been flying on my own since 2016, I book a hotel without a flight with Coral Travel, it turns out cheaper than on booking.com.

andreyvip, and from under the floor, hotels in many countries quite calmly offer to cancel the booking and pay the hotel directly at a discount. In Egypt, including in Luxor, they offered me this, which I took advantage of.
аватар ollennka
I did this in Turkey. In Antalya, we just drove along the sea and went to the hotel we liked. Asked to show the rooms, the rooms were arranged. They asked the price, checked with booking, the hotel on the spot gave the price of 18 percent lower.
аватар ollennka
But in Kenya, on the contrary, prices in hotels turned out to be higher than on booking.com. Therefore, without departing from the reception, they immediately asked about Wi-Fi, booked a room on booking and checked in cheaper than the receptionist offered.

2700 rubles is about $35
Falcon Hills Hotel 3* normal 3* for the dates of February the price of 1 night 1 person in the room for breakfast+dinner=25$ and for all 31$ night
Naama Blue Hotel 3* same price breakfast+dinner 25$
In the Delta Sharm complex, small apartments are $ 26, but there you can cook yourself or buy food, the apartment has a mini kitchen. I lived in an apartment in the Delta, a very good complex. Everyone who lives in apartments, mini-houses rents on their own. I recommend
аватар andreyvip
ollennka I did not write that it is impossible to agree. I wrote about official information that cannot be lower than booking. If the hotel is half empty, then dialogue is always possible, and if it is crowded, then no one will sell you a room cheaper. It is simply impossible to predict the situation in advance. You need to prepare for the worst, and if you manage to bargain, it's good.
аватар sveta.n
Alsukazan12. It won't be cheaper. It is better to buy a burning tour. Level 4 hotels ... you can even buy for a week for two for an average of 13,000-16,000 thousand UAH.

I’m reading all this and I understand that I’m the only adventurous tourist here who doesn’t like it when the whole vacation is predetermined, when there is no freedom and flexibility. I love it when you can spontaneously take a step to the right or left on vacation, change the original plan, leave the place or hotel you don’t like earlier than planned, and stay longer in the places you like. Since the end of 2014, hotels have been booked only in this mode, when I was driving / walking past, I liked the city / hotel, I settled in there and rest happily. And I have enough hard planning at work.
Author, there is no unequivocal answer to your question, sometime direct payment to the hotel will be more profitable, sometime booking, agoda, etc. will be more profitable. But there is absolutely nothing complicated about checking into a hotel "from the street". Try it, spontaneity and freedom of movement make a truly fantastic holiday.

ollennka, no not one)
My son and I flew away on a burning tour on December 19 to Sharm, then a week later my son flew away, I stayed and that day my wife Pobeda flew in and we went to NG to another hotel, then to another one, then my wife flew home, and I went to one more hotel for six days. All in all, four hotels in Sharm in 25 days. Only the first hotel on the tour, and then only due to the cheapness, while the rest are AirBnB, Ostrovok and accommodation near Anex

Booking is the cheapest for accommodation only (without air tickets, insurance, transfer) 13 nights 1 person in a room
Naama Bay Apartments no meals 13 nights - $187
Mazar Resort & Spa no meals 13 nights - $257
Naama Blue Hotel 3* with breakfast+dinner for 13 nights $379 and for ALL $446
If it doesn’t matter which hotel is cheaper, buy a Fortuna tour where the cost of the tour will include accommodation and meals at the hotel + air tickets + insurance + transfer.

Look at Hurghada Zahabia Hotel 3 * is a normal 3 * in Hurghada, the second line, with its own beach and also with a normal reef
Tour for 10 nights from Kazan 41852 rubles
аватар Wiland
I do not recommend HB food, only All. From my experience, the first time I flew in 3 *, HB, 330$/DBL/1 line for breakfast includes tea / coffee, not for dinner!!! I'm not even talking about alcohol, it's very expensive. For a week, when leaving the hotel, we were billed for + 100u.e. and this is only tea + coffee for dinner, and for dinner the food is salty and spicy. For comparison, this hotel All cost 400
аватар Wiland
If you are completely in economy, look for a fellow traveler / fellow traveler for 1 - 300, Dbl-400. Throw in 200 and everyone is happy. Somehow the neighbors were resting, there were two men, one 35 from Moscow, the second 45 from St. Petersburg, chipped in and flew in for a little "rest", it was 24h ALL around the pool, they only reached the sea for 5-6 days, bought a tour for 2 weeks and this is not the first time they fly together, but they met on social networks where they found a fellow traveler
аватар ollennka
And I do not recommend food either All or HB, only breakfast! Because lunches or dinners at the hotel - this is to tie yourself to the hotel, that even a day will go out of the gate to see the country.
аватар Vika284
In the resort Sharm and Hurghada, you need to take either All or apart without food, then such stories as Wiland answered often happen

renting a hotel is not a problem, but it will definitely not be cheaper for Egypt and Turkey. Many tour operators (TO) bought out parts of the hotels and accommodate tourists "at home". For example, if a hotel costs $ 30 (3 *), for maintenance it costs 10, and they can sell it to a tourist for both 15 and 20. In the forehead you will pay $ 25-30 + VAT (14%) + tourist tax another 12%, You will only learn about taxes upon check-in. + the cost of entering / leaving the hotel, please note that a taxi will ask for an exorbitant $ 10 or 20, you have to bargain when landing (max $ 5 for everyone I don’t agree in 10 seconds, another one will drive up and take you), pay money only after arrival and without change !! ! Or show a bill, first pick up the change, and then pay for a taxi, otherwise I don’t understand you later. + the risk of delay/early departure back must be controlled, and the plane can fly back earlier or later by 2-10 hours. In Europe it's the other way around
аватар ollennka
Why are you comparing everything with the price of the tour? The person asked a specific question - is it cheaper from the street or through booking sites? It is clear from the wording of the question that the tour does not consider.

Tickets have already been bought from me, the end of February, I had time for the sale)))
