Touring on a budget in Egypt generally requires travelers to find quality but affordable accommodations. Both budget and luxury accommodations abound all over the country. From traditional to unconventional motels or hotels, Egyptian accommodations provide tourists with varying options and promotions. Aside from standard amenities, some also offer their own group and private tours in the surrounding Egyptian historical and cultural sites.
As of September 2010, those looking for practical places to stay can find accommodations ranging from $36 to $100.
