How much do tours, excursions and entrance fees actually cost in Egypt, and how to avoid overpaying tour agencies?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 16 days ago
TL;DR
Group transfers/excursions shouldn't cost more than $90 — book directly through local operators like suntrip_egypt (website or Telegram) instead of overpaying; foreigner entrance fees to some sites run around 10 euros, not the 200 many expect.
What the community said
Book excursions and transfers directly with local operators, such as suntrip_egypt, via their website or Telegram. Paying $90 per person is overpriced, especially since groups get combined with other tourists anyway.

A full package trip for around 8,500 euros is overpriced for Egypt — for that money it's worth considering more exotic destinations instead. Russian tour operators currently inflate prices significantly; flights from Europe for the same type of trip cost 20-30% less.

Entrance fees for foreign citizens at some sites run around 10 euros, not 200 as many expect. The official website lacks clear price tiers by visitor category, so it's worth checking the exact cost in advance rather than relying on rumors.
