Egypt tours from Izmir are package itineraries planned for travellers departing from the Aegean region, with no need to worry about connections. The Izmir departure itineraries currently available are listed below, along with their durations and starting prices per person.
The price per person varies depending on the departure date and hotel concept; the Izmir-departure programs currently available start at around 760 euros. The price includes round-trip airfare, airport taxes, All Inclusive accommodation in Sharm El Sheikh with alcohol included, hotel accommodation in Cairo with breakfast, transfers, Turkish-speaking guide services and travel health insurance. The difference compared with the Istanbul-departure program is mainly due to flight costs.
Departure is from Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport. Flight times vary depending on the tour date; the itinerary indicates that departures are generally scheduled for the morning or around midday. The exact time is shown when you select a date on the tour page before purchase.
The program combines a stay in Sharm El Sheikh on the Red Sea coast with a visit to Cairo. In Sharm El Sheikh, enjoy time to relax at an All Inclusive hotel and take a boat trip; in Cairo, visit the Giza Pyramids, the Sphinx and the city’s classic highlights. The day-by-day itinerary is listed on the tour page.
Egypt requires a visa for Turkish citizens. Visitors staying only in the Sinai Peninsula for no more than 15 days receive a free “Sinai Only” stamp at the airport; as the program includes Cairo, a full tourist visa is required. Passports must be valid for at least 6 months from the return date.
You can reach the airport by İZBAN; for early-morning departures, check when train services start. You can bring your own snorkeling and diving equipment for the Red Sea, but this is optional, as most resorts provide their own. Comfortable shoes and sun protection are recommended for your day in Cairo.
The program does not change depending on the departure city; the route, accommodation concept and excursions are the same. The difference comes down to the flight leg: programs departing from Istanbul are more affordable on most dates thanks to the frequency of flights, while those departing from Izmir and Ankara avoid the cost of intercity travel and extra accommodation. For a family traveling from the Aegean, once the cost of getting to Istanbul, accommodation and time lost are taken into account, the price difference often disappears.
Accommodation in Sharm El Sheikh is on an All Inclusive basis: three buffet meals a day, snacks, and local drinks are standard. Packages that include alcohol specify this separately. Most hotels have a private beach and pier; thanks to the coral reefs close to shore, there is often no need to take a boat for snorkeling. The hotel and what is included in the package are listed on the tour’s own page.
The Red Sea’s shallow, calm coves are suitable for children; however, the edges of the reefs are sharp, so water shoes are useful. The short flight time is a major advantage for families with young children. The day in Cairo is long and involves a lot of walking; families with very young children may consider spending that day at the hotel. Child prices and applicable age ranges are shown separately during the booking process.
Available programs range from 3 to 5 nights: 3- and 4-night holidays staying only in Sharm El Sheikh with Pegasus and Freebird, and combined programs that also include Cairo.
Flight arrangements may vary according to the departure date. The current flight details and times are shown on the tour’s own page alongside your selected date.
Round-trip airfare, airport taxes, accommodation on the specified board basis, all transfers, a Turkish-speaking guide and travel health insurance are included. Visa fees, museum admissions and personal expenses are excluded.
Programs that include Cairo require a full tourist visa. Visa processing and fees are not included in the package; information about the process is provided after booking.
Departure dates are updated throughout the season. You can check the calendar on the tour page to see whether places are available during that period.
