How much does it cost to extend your hotel room stay in Egypt and what's the best way to do it?

Prices for room extensions are displayed on an info board at the front desk and depend on the number of nights. Ask in advance — overbooking can make extensions impossible.

An on-site upgrade to a family room cost $120 for 4 nights ($30/night), which was twice the price compared to booking the same room through a tour operator. Refunds for rejected rooms can be delayed for days with various excuses.

When extending your stay, you retain full access to all hotel amenities. It's important to check availability in advance rather than at the last minute.

Tour operators may quote inflated prices for extensions — compare with the front desk rate or book extra nights directly through the hotel's website or an OTA.
