Egypt package tours: do you lose paid nights with overnight flights?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 20 days ago
TL;DR
With overnight departure and early morning return, you effectively lose 2 paid hotel nights. Premium operators like Tez Tour and Coral charge more for similar quality — separate flight bookings may offer better value.
What the community said
Among Egyptian tour operators, Tez Tour, Biblio Globus, and Coral are the priciest. Fun Sun and Sunmar are currently not recommended. If quality is roughly equal across operators, paying a premium for a brand name is hard to justify.

If your wristband is cut on the first day and you missed lunch, you can still have lunch — access to the hotel grounds is retained regardless.
