Are hotel/tour operator excursions overpriced in Sharm El Sheikh?

Travelers note that hotel/tour operator guides are the first to overcharge — the same excursions as independent sellers, but 2-3x more expensive. The markup is justified with stories about safety, a 'new road', or route exclusivity that doesn't actually exist.

Commenters joke that guide-sold excursion prices are as inflated as elsewhere, suggesting overcharging by guides is a common, not isolated, issue in the resort.

One traveler bluntly complains that guide-sold excursions have the exact same content as everyone else's, but cost three times as much.

Someone in the chat asks for the current price list of guide excursions from tour operator Pegas Touristik, to compare against independent sellers before booking.
