Where the money goes
Flights and the room take most of it: return flights from the uk and two nights, per person (sharing) are the two lines with the widest spread, which is also where you have the most room to move. Shifting the trip out of July and August changes the total more than any other decision.
How to spend less
- If the dates are yours, travel midweek: it is the cheapest window of the week.
- A street back from the main square or seafront, same city, 20–30% less on the room.
- Book one paid attraction, not three. Ras Mohammed National Park, by boat, for the best reef in the region is the one most people would keep.
