How much does an all-inclusive vacation in Sharm El Sheikh cost and is it better value than Turkey?

One reported quote for a Sharm El Sheikh package departing Moscow on November 3 was RUB 340,000–350,000 for nine nights for two adults and one child. The hotel was not named; reef quality was the main hotel-selection criterion. By comparison, a trip to Sharm for the same family a year earlier cost RUB 255,000, although it was not confirmed to be the same hotel or trip length.

To save on an all-inclusive stay in Sharm El Sheikh, avoid August: it is described as the busiest month because of school holidays and high regional demand, which pushes prices up. Autumn is generally less crowded and can offer better value outside holiday periods, although well-priced popular hotels may still sell out even in April.

A traveler paid RUB 154,000 for a Sharm El Sheikh package for August 5–12 but considered the hotel heavily overpriced, estimating its fair value at around RUB 100,000. Due to cleanliness concerns, they recommend considering the second-line Concorde Sport instead; the current hotel does have a vivid long reef with abundant marine life.

One traveler was disappointed with the Sultan hotel in Sharm El Sheikh, saying it's not worth its price — poor quality drinks, no service at all at the beach or pools, and a poorly laid-out territory.

One traveler ranks Egypt last among the destinations they compared, but notes its one clear advantage: it's the cheapest option for a vacation, even cheaper than Vietnam.

Travelers describe Steigenberger Alcazar in Sharm El Sheikh as one of Egypt’s stronger all-inclusive options for service. Its highlights are food, alcohol, a well-kept green grounds, numerous pools, and a large uncrowded beach. It is a quiet, non-party hotel best suited to guests aged roughly 40–45+; younger travelers may find it dull. There is a shallow sandy entry for children, while the reef is reached via a long pier with buggy transport; masks and life jackets are provided free.

Travelers note that in Egypt you almost always trade off something: it's hard to get great service, good sea access, entertainment, nearby infrastructure and a low hotel price all at once.

A couple returned from an adults-only (16+) hotel in Sharm El Sheikh after paying $200 per person for a 2-week all-inclusive stay. They noted the dry, light air (unlike the humid heat on Turkey's Anatolian coast at the same temperature) and a spacious beach.

For $1,600 per couple for 14 nights you can get a 5-star hotel in Naama Bay with several pools, a water park, a sports pool, a sandy beach and a 32 sqm room. The food is a step below top Turkish resorts (no crab or fresh juice), but the price is lower too; travelers say the scenery in Egypt loses out to Turkey.
