Private tours to add
Luxury hotels are far from the centre: a private tour avoids shared transfers. The most requested: a private boat to the islands (boat trip comparison), Luxor by private car (Luxor from Hurghada) and a desert dinner (evening cruise or Bedouin dinner). Always ask what the private price includes (transfer, tickets, meals).
Good to know
Prices drop in summer (heat) and rise at Christmas and in February. 5-star hotels are often all-inclusive: see which area to choose. Overall budget: Hurghada travel budget.
