TL;DR

Egypt package tours are cheapest when booked early or last-minute. Prices rise closer to August. Promo codes from previous bookings can save extra.

Egypt package prices can fluctuate with the USD exchange rate: when the dollar dropped, one traveler managed to book at about 120,000 RUB, but the same tour rose to 147,000 RUB the next day. The lowest fare lasted only around 2 days, so good deals are worth booking quickly.

There are currently no flash sales or early-booking deals — the best strategy is to monitor prices regularly and buy when the price seems to have bottomed out. For example, an autumn trip priced at 800,000 RUB in spring (3 adults, 2 rooms, 11 nights) dropped to 500,000 RUB for 12 nights by July.

Booking through a Biblio Globus agency with accumulated loyalty bonuses can yield around 5% cashback — for example, 13,700 RUB returned to a family. The ticket price itself matches the tour operator's online price.

Waiting just a few extra days before booking can drop the price significantly — one traveler saw a 15,000 RUB reduction in just 5 days. Promo codes from previous bookings with the same operator can add further savings.

Package tour prices increase as August approaches. Travelers with flexible departure dates (±1 week) can find better deals by shifting away from peak summer dates.

Last year, Egypt package tours were noticeably cheaper — a 14-night trip for one adult and a 13-year-old child cost around 158,000 RUB. Prices have since increased.
