Dreaming of an unforgettable holiday without breaking the bank?
In 2025, Egypt offers UK travellers a rare combo: exotic adventure, fascinating history, and year-round sunshine — all for less than a weekend in London.

🤑 1. Budget-Friendly Luxury (Yes, Really)
Tired of overpriced Europe? In Egypt, your pound goes further — much further.

Here’s what you can get for under £60 a day:

A private en-suite room in a boutique hotel

Guided tours to ancient sites

Street food feasts and rooftop dining

Desert safaris or snorkeling trips

💡 Tip: Use apps like Hostelworld or Booking.com to find gorgeous riads and hostels in Cairo, Luxor, and Dahab.

🚇 2. Easy, Cheap & Safe Travel
Egypt might look vast on the map, but it’s surprisingly well-connected — and UK travellers are loving how easy it is to move around.

🚆 Budget travel options:

Overnight trains from Cairo to Luxor/Aswan (~£20–30 in a comfy sleeper cabin)

Local buses and minibuses

Group tours and day trips starting from just £10

✈️ Budget flights from the UK start at £120 return when booked early.

🐪 3. Live Like an Explorer Without the Expense
You don’t need to be rich to feel like Indiana Jones.

For a fraction of what you'd pay in Italy or Turkey, you can:

Enter the Great Pyramid (still mind-blowing in person)

Wander through the Temple of Karnak

Sail on a felucca boat at sunset on the Nile

Ride a camel across the White Desert

📸 These are the kind of stories you'll remember forever — and your Instagram will thank you.

🍲 4. Incredible Food for Pennies
You won’t go hungry in Egypt — and your wallet will love it too.

🍽️ Average meal prices:

Koshari (hearty veggie dish): £0.60

Grilled chicken with rice and salad: £2.50

Seafood plate by the Red Sea: under £7

Mint tea or fresh mango juice: £0.50

And the best part? No tipping wars or unexpected "service fees" like in Western Europe.

🏄‍♂️ 5. Beach, Mountains & Desert — All in One Trip
Want to go diving, climb a mountain, AND ride through a desert?
In Egypt, you can do it all — affordably.

🌍 Top adventure picks for UK travellers:

Dahab: laid-back dive town with hostels, yoga, and crystal water

Mount Sinai: hike under the stars to catch sunrise from the summit

Fayoum Oasis: sandboarding, waterfalls, and ancient ruins just 2 hours from Cairo

Marsa Alam: untouched reef diving for half the price of the Caribbean

🤝 6. Solo Travel-Friendly
Egypt is one of the most affordable and welcoming countries for solo travellers — especially Brits. You’ll find:

English spoken widely

Affordable hostels and group tours

Warm hospitality from locals

Vibrant travel communities (especially in Dahab, Luxor, and Siwa)

👫 Whether you're travelling alone or with friends, you’ll never feel out of place.
