Hotels


Egypt has a variety of accommodation options, from very basic budget hostels and hotels to ultra-luxury resorts. In big cities like Cairo and Alexandria, competition means the standard between cheaper options may be better, but be aware that standards for 3-star hotels in Europe or the US may not be covered. In small towns, options will be more limited. Most of the big international hotel chains can be found in big cities, and if you're looking for a higher end option, we recommend choosing a brand you're familiar with rather than a standalone option so you'll more or less know what you're getting. Red Sea regions such as Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh are more suitable for group tours, so accommodation is more likely to meet your expectations. They usually offer all-inclusive packages, and often, early or last-minute bookings usually offer the best deals.
