    I didnt even notice it didnt have all the extras included,saying that i didnt really look that long.

    Booking fee about £10pp
    TOD also about £10-£15 pp
    Fuel supplement probably about £30-£40pp

    and not sure about transfers.

    So yes it does put the holiday cost up quite a bit.

    Just a word of warning - the prices are fantastic, but remember that 5* in Egypt is not the same as 5* here.

    However, there are still bargains to be had at the better hotels. Best thing to do is to find a deal and then check the hotel at https://www.tripadvisor.com for independent traveller reviews.
    Gone ... or have I?
