Egypt hotels and resorts: selling direct to European and Gulf guests
From Red Sea resorts to Nile cities, Egyptian hotels sell to many markets at once. How to price clearly, sell excursions and win the direct booking.
Egypt sells two holidays at once: heritage in Cairo, Luxor and Aswan, and sun on the Red Sea in Hurghada, Sharm El Sheikh and El Gouna. Guests come from across Europe, from Russia and from the Gulf — each comparing prices in their own currency.
Price clearly
VAT in Egypt is 14%, and most hotels add a service charge, commonly 12%. Show the full amount from the first page, and let guests see it in euros, pounds, dollars or riyals. goDirects shows prices in each guest’s own currency automatically.
Sell more than the room
Diving, desert trips, Nile cruises and pyramid tours are part of the holiday. Sell them before arrival with add-ons or through local partner operators.
Meal plans as rate plans
Bed and breakfast, half board, full board and all-inclusive should be clear choices on your website, each with its own price.
Two seasons
- October–April: European winter sun and heritage travel.
- Summer: domestic and Gulf families on the Red Sea and the Mediterranean coast.
