TL;DR
Tour price mainly depends on the hotel category and season, not your departure city; for New Year holidays it's best to book about 4-6 weeks ahead. Traveling independently (without a package) costs more but gives unlimited time on-site.
Price differences between tours mainly come from the hotel category, not your departure city — you still land in Sharm on the same day regardless.
When choosing a tour, focus mainly on arrival/departure flight times and the total price — other details matter less.
For departures during New Year holidays (e.g., Jan 1-2), it's better to book the tour well in advance, since prices for these dates rise closer to the holiday.
Traveling independently (without a package tour) costs noticeably more, but isn't limited by excursion schedules — a package tour keeps you on a tight timetable.
Travelers often compare how much they paid for the same tour — the price varies a lot depending on how far in advance the booking was made.
