Cheapest flight to Cairo I can find is 223.727 GBP (398 USD) via https://www.kayak.com thats 10th -15th May
Cheapest hotel is the 3* Pharaohs with https://www.hotelpronto.com for £95 for 5 nights per room
making a total of £543 for 2 people +taxi to the hotel
But for an extra £20pp you could have the

Intercontinental Ic Pyramids Park Resort 134.81 via https://www.ichotelsgroup.com
https://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/6c/1/en/hd/crohb hotel details

which would be a total of £582 for both
*Sorry worked on a twin for 3 it works out about 195 for the Inter approx £289 each or the Pharaohs is 130 for a triple £267 each*

If you lok at people like https://www.kuoni.co.uk you will see that is a very good price thier cheapest hotel is £802.00 for both flying with KLM for 4 nights


***Just spotted https://www.octopustravel.com have a triple room for £30 for all 5 nights at the Sofitel Madi Towers***

makes it £234 each and you get the Sofitel but I wouldnt hang about its not going to be there long at that price

***if you want it under 200 see http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=144870**

Hi saveapenny,

Thanks for all your help.

Unfortunately OH can't get leave from the 9th (he had to sell his soul to get the 10th )

I'm hanging on to see if prices will drop slightly, hope this isn't too risky :eek:

Thanks again

Hi Saveapenny
Thanks for information, I've chosen the Sol Falco because I want a hotel that does activities for teenagers. I read some good reviews on it on holidaysuncovered.co.uk. But I would consider a different hotel as long as it keeps the teenage mob busy and out of mischief !
Thanks
I'm coming round to the idea of DIY'ing after only doing packages. The only worry for me is airport transfers. Is it difficult to organise ?

What is your budget for holiday?
I posted a pckage deal through Thomson on the previous page but it comes in at about £3500.
Found a seperate flight but am struggling to find hotel(sol Falco) at cheaper prices.Doing it DIY for that hotel is roughly gonna cost you the same as the package.

Hi-Sorry to be blunt but £200 for a short break is completely un-realistic. Savapenny's prices are the best you'll get. Egypt is popular-I'd book now as it's likely to go up in price.

WHY OH WHY do people think prices will go DOWN??! The only time they do reduce is if it's A) Committed charter (ie Thomsons to Majorca, etc) -Committed pre-paid Tour Operator accommodation. Depending on demand these MIGHT reduce very close to departure.

A scheduled flight long haul will NOT reduce. The number of customers I speak to who say the same-phone back a month later-holiday GONE or increased in cost. It's got to be a balancing act-between how much you REALLY want to go against saving a few quid.

The price you've got is v. good-I'd book it.
