How Much Does a Trip to Egypt Cost from Dubai?

Here is a typical cost picture for a 6-day trip to Egypt from Dubai, per person, travelling mid-range. Treat every figure as indicative, because fares and rates move with the season.

The flight from Dubai to Cairo takes around about 4 hours. Return economy fares typically fall in the 900 to 1,800 range, lower if you book early and avoid peak holidays, higher over Eid, summer and the winter break.

For the cheapest fares, travel in the destination's quieter season. Our best time to visit Egypt guide shows when that is.

Visa cost depends on your passport and the route. As a guide, budget about 90 to 110. The exact figure and process for your nationality are set out on our Egypt visa from Dubai guide.

Accommodation is usually the biggest cost after flights. Budget stays run around 120 to 300 per night, mid-range around 250 to 450, and comfortable or luxury well above that. Daily spending on food, transport and sightseeing typically runs 120 to 260 per person.

• Budget: guesthouses and hostels, local food, public transport.
• Mid-range: three to four star hotels, a mix of restaurants, some paid attractions.
• Comfortable: four to five star hotels, private transfers, tours and dining.
