Cost of a Holiday in Egypt: Budget to Luxury

Egypt is generally affordable. Daily estimates per person:

• Budget: $20–30 (hostels, local food, public transport)
• Mid-range: $50–75 (3–4 star hotels, nicer restaurants, taxis/Uber)
• Luxury: $150–200+ (5-star hotels, fine dining, private car/driver)

Money-saving tips: Stay in hostels/guesthouses; eat at local restaurants; use buses/metro; avoid tourist traps (Khan el-Khalili, Giza plateau vendors); haggle politely; travel off-season (Apr–May, Sep–Oct) for lower prices and fewer crowds.
