Start with your dates and travel documents, then choose your hotel area, transfers and a small number of priority experiences. Keep the remaining time flexible for the sea and the pace of your group.
Documents and entry requirements
Check the official requirements for your nationality, travel document and complete itinerary before booking. A stay limited to one area and a journey elsewhere in Egypt may involve different arrangements. Use your foreign ministry and the Egyptian authorities as the reference, and check again before departure. Keep copies of bookings and essential contacts available offline.
Arrival, hotel and everyday transport
Choose the hotel’s exact location rather than only the bay name. Compare beach access, meal plan and the places you intend to visit in the evening. Arrange airport transport with a clear meeting point, baggage allowance and delay policy. For nights out, agree the return journey and keep the hotel address with you.
A realistic budget
Separate accommodation and meals from excursions, transfers and optional extras. Compare the total for your dates and party, including children’s ages. A starting excursion price can exclude equipment, park fees or an activity shown in the gallery. Keep the selected option and cancellation terms with the confirmation so you can check what you purchased.
Health, accessibility and a comfortable pace
Consult the current official travel advice and arrange cover suitable for the activities you choose. Discuss particular health needs with a qualified professional. For accessibility, ask about the exact room, steps, vehicle and boarding arrangements. Keep rest days between demanding outings and plan specialist diving with the dive centre, including the return flight.
