Budget & Tips
For the same quality, hotel prices in Egypt are much lower than in France. A double room, impeccably decorated and equipped with all modern comforts, rents for around LE 600 to LE 1,200 in an average hotel.
The major international chains offer hotel nights from €60 to... more than €400 for the most luxurious, in high season. In this range, room prices vary enormously between high (winter) and low season (high summer).
On the other side of the spectrum, Egypt has many low-end hotels, with no equivalent in France. Gone are the days when you could stay for little more than 5 LE. Cheaper hotels now offer rooms from LE 300, but cleanliness and service have also improved. Above that, we're generally dealing with more comfortable hotels.
The hotel prices shared in this guide are those of 2023 and are subject to change, as inflation has been particularly high in Egypt in recent years.
Finally, since July1, 2023, a tourist tax corresponding to 1% of the hotel room rate per night, with a maximum of LE 50 per occupant per night, is now payable in addition to the accommodation.
To be booked
Reservations are required to avoid getting stuck in the water, especially near tourist sites. Internet reservations are also recommended for offers and rates that are often more advantageous than on site.
