Is it cheaper to book a Sharm El Sheikh hotel independently or buy a package holiday?

TL;DR

For Sharm El Sheikh, compare a package holiday against booking the hotel and flights separately: tour operators pre-purchase hotel rooms and charter seats, which can make packages better value. Check several operators for the same hotel before booking.

If you need a hotel matched to your budget, departure city, dates and party size, a travel agent can help with selection as well as booking the trip.

When booking independently, compare the total cost with a ready-made package rather than looking only at the hotel rate: tour operators buy hotel inventory and charter-flight seats in bulk in advance.
