Hotels launch offers to attract Egyptians during Eid Al-Fitr holiday

Hotels in tourist areas have started to launch their Eid Al-Fitr offers to attract Egyptians during the upcoming holiday, according to Wassim Mohy El-Din, former chairman of the Chamber of Hotels. He added that coastal hotels on the North Coast, Alexandria, and the Red Sea, present the most offers for the holiday.

According to Mohy El-Din, the hotel offers range between one or two extra nights for guests, in an attempt to attract large numbers, increase occupancies, and decrease prices.

Prices of five-star rooms per night in Alexandria range between EGP 800 to EGP 1,500 per person, while in Sharm El-Sheikh prices are between EGP 700 and EGP 1,000 per night, Mohy El-Din said.

However, a member at the Egyptian Chamber of Hotels, who preferred to remain anonymous, said that Ain Sokhna hotels have the highest increase in prices over the Eid holiday. The five-star room prices of some hotels are reaching EGP 2,000 per person. He explained that the reason for this is the short distance between Ain Sokhna and Cairo.
