EGYPT has seen a fall in tourism due to the ongoing Iran conflict – despite it not being affected.
In response, tour operators are dropping prices of all-inclusive holidays – with some savings racking up to over £2,000.
Due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, Brits have been avoiding travelling to the surrounding countries, including Egypt.
Last week, On The Beach confirmed that they had experienced a drop in demand for popular holiday destinations including Egypt as well as Greece, Turkey and Cyprus.
Despite this, its airspace remains open and the travel advice to popular tourist spots along the Red Sea coastline hasn’t differed from the being safe for travel.
What has changed, is that the price of all-inclusive holidays has plunged.
For families wanting to go on holiday in the coming months to enjoy Egypt‘s highs of 30C, there are some incredible deals out there.
Coming in at the lowest price is a deal with loveholidays which starts from £239 per person for an all-inclusive holiday for a family of four.
The 3-star New Badawia Resort in Sharm El Sheikh is slightly inland but still has a swimming pool for cooling off in the warm weather.
For those who want to explore the beach, one is just a seven-minute drive away.
Between April 22 – 29 loveholidays is offering an all-inclusive package including flights from London Gatwick from £956 – or £239 per person.
Another cheap offer is a seven-night all-inclusive stay at the Falcon Naama Star hotel in Sharm El Sheikh from as little as £265 per person.
This price is from On the Beach for a stay from April 22 to April 29 and includes return TUI flights from Manchester Airport.
easyJet Holidays has some impressive deals too.
An all-inclusive break at the Xperience St. George Homestay, in the coastal neighbourhood of Hadaba in Sharm El Sheikh, starts from £424 per person.
This includes flights from Liverpool John Lennon Airport on May 11 and the return journey on May 28, 2026.
A TUI holiday has dropped by nearly 70 per cent, with a three-night all-inclusive stay next month at Sindbad Club just £347pp – down from £1017pp.
Or a family of four can have an all-inclusive stay across seven-nights at the Coral Sea Water World in Sharm El Sheikh for just £1,576 – or £525.46 per person (and down 60 per cent).
The trip with TUI from April 22 to April 29, 2026 is all-inclusive and includes return flights from Manchester Airport.
Brits unsure about booking holidays should remember that the package holidays are ATOL-protected – so if they get cancelled, you get all your money back.
