Specialists like Longwood or Peltours are very good - but if you book their packages through Jetline Travel (or similar) the prices are about 10% cheaper.

Have always found MyTravel group (Direct holidays, Airtours, Panorama) most competitively priced for Hurghada. It is worth 'following through' booking process online when looking at prices as there are often discounts applied which will alter final cost. Also worth checking each company as sometimes one is considerably cheaper than the others for same date/hotel.

Thankyou for your replies!

We are not sure where to go, want to see everything in Egypt! Our budget is at a push £2000.

Is it safe to book online? Never done it before. Always book holidays at travel agents.

Portland Direct are OK as well, they are the direct sell arm of Thomson, who were one of the first main stream TO's to show an interest in the Red Sea Reorts. They have many hotels in Sharm.

Look on the First choice or Eclipse website then phone them and ask if they can match the price.This worked for me and we paid less than a couple we met who had booked 1 year earlier.Thomas Cook travel agents also match their web price if you take a print out to prove the webprice.
