When should you book an Egypt package holiday for New Year, and why do prices change every day?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 8 days ago
TL;DR
For an Egypt New Year package holiday, the best window is usually 3–5 months in advance, often August to October; by November and December, the best hotels and flight options often get more expensive. Daily price changes usually come from exchange rates, demand, remaining charter seats, and tour operator repricing.
What the community said
Based on recent traveler experience, waiting until December for an Egypt New Year package is risky: prices are often already higher, and the choice in popular resorts like Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada gets worse. A practical rule is to start tracking prices in summer and book between August and October.

Travelers note that pricing is hard to predict even when the dollar is relatively stable: a package can move up and down within a small range for weeks because the price depends not only on exchange rates, but also on hotel occupancy, flight availability, and the operator’s seat allotment.

If a New Year package already looks expensive by mid-year, many travelers treat that as a sign of peak-season pricing rather than a temporary spike. For holiday dates, prices do not always drop later, so the 'wait and book later' strategy often does not work for Egypt in late December.
