On a Package Holiday to Hurghada?
Skip the Hotel Rep Markup

Yes, almost always. Hotel reps and package holiday excursion desks add a large markup because they pay commission to several middlemen. Booking directly with Mohammed on WhatsApp means you're paying a licensed local operator directly — same boats, same guides, often the same trip, at a fairer price. Many of our UK guests book with us specifically after comparing prices at their hotel's excursions desk.

No. Your flights and hotel transfers with TUI, Jet2 or EasyJet Holidays are completely separate from optional excursions. You're free to book any excursion independently during your holiday. Thousands of UK travellers do it every year with no issues.

Hurghada and the Red Sea resort areas are generally considered safe for tourists and are popular with UK holidaymakers year-round. We always recommend checking the latest FCDO travel advice before you travel. Read our full local safety guide here.

Prices are listed in US Dollars, the standard currency for excursions in Egypt. UK Pounds cash is accepted on the day for most trips, as well as card payment. Just let Mohammed know your preference when booking on WhatsApp.

Egypt is 2 hours ahead of the UK (1 hour ahead during British Summer Time). We're open on WhatsApp from 8AM–11PM Egypt time — that's 6AM–9PM UK time — so message any time and Mohammed will reply quickly.

February half-term, Easter, the summer holidays and the October half-term are our busiest periods with UK families. If you're travelling during these dates, we recommend messaging Mohammed on WhatsApp as early as possible to guarantee your preferred dates and times.
