Last minute tours are very popular now. Everyone dreams of vacationing abroad, saving money, but not skimping on comfort. Last minute tours fit these criteria like nothing else. There are a huge number of options on the market for companies specializing in last-minute travel packages, and it is best to purchase a tour there. Tour operators monitor the entire market of tourism services and on this basis create a consolidated database with last-minute tours for every taste. However, it is worth remembering some features of last-minute tours:

last-minute tours have an “expiration date”, so decisions on their purchase are made as soon as possible;
be prepared for the fact that you will not fly where you would like. You may be lucky to catch a tour to exactly the resort you dreamed of, but more likely the trip will be a surprise for you. However, there is nothing wrong with that - trying something new is always interesting.
you won’t be able to “book” a last-minute tour, because the very availability of such tours depends on demand and how the human factor works is almost impossible to predict.

Do not forget that you need to approach the purchase of a last-minute tour with all responsibility, because first of all you create comfortable conditions for yourself. Don't grab the first tour you come across just because you can save money.

Holidays in Egypt are comparable to a dream come true, a fairy tale or magic come true. This unique country welcomes foreign guests with open arms. Here, even a tourist with a small budget can have a great rest and get the famous All inclusive!

Prices for last minute tours to Egypt from Lviv

There are actually not as many last-minute tours as it might seem. Their appearance is due to situations that tour operators cannot influence. You may receive a tour that the client refused for one reason or another. There is a good chance that a good hotel has been booked, but the hotel may simply run out of space.

When an agency cannot fill a charter, you can buy a last-minute tour for almost nothing; it is possible to purchase a trip for more than two people. However, in this case it will be problematic to confirm a specific hotel. Tour operators always pay for hotel rooms in advance, and if they cannot accommodate all of them, the remaining tours are sold at a last minute price. Last minute tours from Lviv to Egypt are offered at the following prices:

Sharm el-Sheikh – from 5,969 UAH/person;
Dahab – from 9,812 UAH/person;
Hurghada – from 10,297 UAH/person;
Taba – from 10,577 UAH/person.

You can come to Egypt all year round, but the best time to relax is the end of spring and the beginning of autumn. The cost of tours at this time is much higher than in winter. From July to August you can relax at a reduced price, but such a vacation can be hazardous to your health, since it is hot in Egypt during these months. If you decide to travel during this period, ensure yourself protection from the sun.

You won't be able to go on vacation at a discount in November - the holiday season ends in Europe at this time, and the weather in Egypt at this time is the most suitable for a vacation. It is recommended to organize trips at the end of the month. This is due to the fact that in any season, at the end of each month, the cost of the tour decreases, because tourists, as a rule, book their vacation in the first days.
