TL;DR
Cairo generally has more flight options and lower fares, but factor in the cost of return flights between Hurghada and Cairo. One reported Air Cairo fare was about RUB 30,000 for two adults and one child, compared with Nesma options from around RUB 90,000.
Cairo can work better as a flight hub because it has more departures and often lower fares than Hurghada. Compare the total price only after adding return flights between Hurghada and Cairo.
For an itinerary with several long excursions, staying in Cairo may reduce costs because you are not paying for a higher-priced Hurghada beach hotel on days spent away.
Checking fares independently can make a major difference: an Air Cairo ticket was reported at about RUB 30,000 for two adults and one child, while Nesma options started at roughly RUB 90,000.
