TL;DR
Based on travelers’ experiences, booking Hurghada independently is not always cheaper than a package holiday: around New Year, separate flights and accommodation can cost considerably more. Compare package prices with hotel aggregators and direct hotel rates.
For a New Year trip, arranging flights and accommodation independently was reported to be much more expensive than a package holiday. Compare the full package cost with the combined price of flights, hotel and transfers before booking.
One independent-booking option is to buy flights separately and request a room rate directly from your chosen Hurghada hotel. However, this approach was still reported to be more expensive than a package deal.
Travelers mentioned Booking and Ostrovok as accommodation search platforms. Use them to compare hotel prices against the property’s direct rate and package-holiday offers.
