Profitable or not profitable, you first need to know what budget you are counting on, the composition of tourists, the period of rest, do you have children, what is your priority, for example, when choosing a hotel, have you been to Sharm before or have you been to one of the other resorts in Egypt.

A flight by a charter flight - about $ 300 per person, not a charter - with a transfer in Istanbul and the price is several times (!) Higher. This is if the flight from Kyiv.
If you book accommodation through Booking, then you need to know your preferences and budget.
It is possible that if you go on your own for a month or longer, you will save money, for 14-15 days it will cost more than with TO

It makes sense to fly on your own if you want to see the country, travel to different cities, and not just lie on the beach of one resort for two weeks. If you just collect the analogue of a tour package yourself in the same hotel in Egypt, it will be more expensive than that of a travel agency.
People travel on their own not for the sake of economy, but for the sake of freedom and impressions.

It is possible, as an option, to buy the cheapest tour (roughly speaking, at the price of a flight), and live in another hotel more expensive or in different hotels (there are 5 days, there are 5 of them).

I read your review about the hotel where you recently rested and assumed (sorry if you are wrong) that your question is related to Khabib. In this case, it is better to buy any cheap tour from a travel agency.

Maybe Khabib is cheaper if there is housing, but it may turn out in a couple of days that Khabib is not the Prince of Persia at all.
The cheapest tour to Sharm for 1 person from 1.11 for 14 nights costs $ 500, already in December you can find it for $ 450.
$ 450-500 and tickets and transfers and medical insurance and a hotel in which there will always be some kind of food and your own private room.

No, I am in no way campaigning for self-tour. Of course, the package here would be more reasonable.

I would think 100 times before going to Egypt like that. Country specific. If you went outside the hotel, you obviously saw garbage, poor houses, and indeed how and what is around. There are places where everything is more or less normal, but in general ....... I don’t understand the people who go there to live .. well, yes, it’s summer, it’s warm, but there are many more pleasant countries for this. In my opinion, this is a country purely for a hotel holiday. In between, go see the hotel, the beach, the sea with a reef and fish, and no more.

And I’ll add that it’s absolutely not profitable to travel for such a period yourself, housing can be rented cheaply only for a long-term period, and if for up to a month, it will generally be more expensive than a hotel on a full all + flight .... Even if you book the hotel you like the most - will be much more expensive than the package.

moy_contakt, and what is the depreciation of the historical sights of Egypt?)) Tourism does not live by fish alone!))
I would not want to live in Egypt either, but I know those who would like to. And those who like to spend the winter in Thailand-Cambodia, although it is even worse there with cleanliness and smells.

This year, 2 friends with 2 children rented apartments in the Delta Sharm complex, in August for 4 weeks $ 700, very normal and clean, places there at least 6 people live freely. But this is without food, and komunalka with the Internet separately. The complex is not the first line, for those who live in these apartments there is no transfer to the beach and this is plus a $ 2 taxi one way, but the Eden Ibiza beach itself is free for Delta guests.
As a result, they had a good rest, but next time they will go to the hotel.

Elenka08 is just an assumption that the girl has just returned from Sharm and wants to go back there again, she was in Sharm for the first time and already wants to try to go on her own. If she had the experience of relaxing in different hotels in Sharm in different areas and she was at least somehow oriented around Sharm, then it’s understandable that she wants to try another such holiday experience.
I'm not against independent rest, but in Egypt I agree with my_contakt

ollennka, I'm not saying that there is nothing to see. Each country has its own history, nature, etc. But unlike Thailand (I haven’t been to Cambodia, I won’t say), the nature of Egypt is scarce, only architectural monuments, of which there are not so many, and the rest ... then so, for one, maximum twice. I really like Thailand, moreover, it was in Thailand that I went on a self-tour several times (for a long time, but it was) and last year on a tour and honestly, a self-tour is many times more interesting. Since upon arrival in Bangkok we usually didn’t have a plan where we were going, we decided on the spot. And in Egypt, there was no even thought to come by self-tour .... that's all. Egypt for me is a convenient country for families with children. all

And for me, Thailand, to be honest, is associated with the nauseating smells of Bangkok and all sorts of markets. I won't decide to go there again soon.
In Egypt in a month I will start by self-tour. I have long wanted to see Alexandria and other antiquities, only 4 days have been allotted for fish, I hope they will not disappoint.

I flew in 2013 from Kharkov by Pegasus to Sharm. The hotel was booked through Booking.com. com At that time, prices in travel agencies were the same as flying by yourself. Now travel agencies have lower prices, so it makes no economic sense to do this if you are flying for less than 15 days. The cheapest accommodation in Delta Sharm. There you can rent apartments with a kitchen, but you can search in other places, this is not a problem. Usually those who go further to Dahab and live there fly themselves, everything is cheaper there than in Sharm

A friend of mine has been living in Sharm for 14 years / an apartment in the Hadaba area 3-room apartment (she pays $ 300 or 400) it’s quite easy for 4-5 people to fit in it - quite a civilized neighborhood, no frills ... there is access to the roof with terrace, close to markets and restaurants and even McDonald's) - near il Mirkato. There are a lot of the same apartments there (houses 2 / 3 floors) - on some it says rent and phone number ... I myself, like a thread, I think with my family to go there for a month / dive / mess around tskt;)

The fact of the matter is that if you shoot for a month, then it will be cheaper, and if for 3 months, then even better. It is good to winter there - from 3 to 6 months, from October. and Kyiv-Sharm charters from $110 one way. for 14-15 days you will rent apartments by the day, much more expensive. There are groups on Facebook - Russian-speaking Sharm, for rent in Sharm - you can ask a question about the nuances of life there if you are going for a longer period.

No-no-no, no need to compare with Thailand! :) In Thailand, the people themselves are very clean, hotels, homes, shops - everything is very clean, everything is cultural everywhere. Markets and garbage dumps stink - it's true, you just need to get around them. In Egypt, leaving the hotel is simply unpleasant: (((Half of the population has problems with the head and behavior, at least in tourist areas. The concept of hygiene is also very conditional.
As for the sights, then, excuse me, of course, but I personally caught myself thinking that it’s more pleasant to watch any documentary at home on the couch about the pyramids, Cairo or the Karnak temple than to admire the garbage dumps and cemeteries that surround the pyramids and hold back the urge to vomit looking at a dead donkey floating in slop and plastic bottles in a canal in central Cairo.

Live Thai rats and cockroaches are, of course, slightly better than a dead Egyptian donkey. Cleanliness in Thailand is also in hotels and more or less tourist places. Have you seen their cloudy soups, poured into bags with straws?)))) There, through the cellophane, it stinks from three meters away. Wow, I'm already startled)). Okay, I’m still in Cairo to “admire” the garbage quarter, I need to start getting used to it mentally.

Not only seen, but always eat with pleasure. These soups will pass any sanitary examination, because the Thais have a fad for the freshness of food. Nobody ever cooks for the future. It stinks of fish sauce. I really love Thai cuisine, and I cook at home, and in any cities where I visit, I am always interested in the presence of Thai (and Chinese) catering, because in Kyiv this is a problem. It's a matter of taste, not purity.
We have traveled around Thailand quite a lot, we have never seen a dirty hotel anywhere, even the unfortunate 2 * are always with fresh linen, clean floors and washed plumbing. In non-tourist places, by the way, it is cleaner than in tourist places, there are fewer tourists shitting and less food waste.
