While on vacation in Egypt, the tourist managed to visit three interesting excursions. However, she did not buy them from a hotel guide, because his price tag was “toothy”, and in another place – so it turned out twice cheaper than the same service. The traveler told about it in her blog. ”
According to the tourist, winter Egypt is a good time for sightseeing, especially because there is no exhausting heat. In January-February, a beach holiday in the country of the pyramids may not be very comfortable due to cold winds.

The tourist’s choice fell on three sightseeing trips: Luxor, El Gouna and diving. But she did not buy them from a hotel guide, because, according to her, he turned out to be a strange man. “This time the guide did not even leave the opportunity to buy something from him. When I said that I was not ready to buy tours on the day of the meeting and I needed to think, he said that there would be no opportunity later. He literally snatched the prospectus from my hands, clarifying that it also costs money and is not ready to donate it if I do not go anywhere, “said the blogger.
Even considering the discount given by the guide, the cost of tours was still high. Tours to Luxor and El Gouna traveler bought on specialized sites, which she found in search of “excursions in Hurghada”. I contacted the organizers with the contacts mentioned there. In this, as a tourist, she did not risk anything, as she paid for tickets directly on the bus, which picks up tourists.
Luxor
The blogger went to historic Luxor for $ 45. In the same bus with her were travelers who bought the same ticket for $ 55 and $ 80. As an additional trip within the tour you could visit the banana island ($ 10). But the traveler was not interested in this proposal, because “Housing for locals in such places, where crowds of tourists are carried, is often just an entourage.”
