Why last minute offers are so advantageous
A holiday in Egypt from Bucharest – especially tours to Egypt – is a win–win opportunity both for tour operators and their clients. When travel companies sell packages with discounts of 30–50% a few days before departure, they fill up charter flights, minimise losses from unsold packages and increase overall profit. Travellers who are ready to react quickly to such offers get several clear advantages:
– They save on accommodation, often staying in a prestigious hotel at the price of a budget one;
– The price already includes flight and transfer to and from the hotel;
– Extra bonuses: quite often the package includes excursions, free accommodation for children and other pleasant surprises.
Real savings: the financial benefit of last minute Egypt deals
If you are ready for adventure and can pay for your Egypt tour on the spot, you have a real chance to save big. Package holidays that normally cost around 1000 euros for two people can drop to about 600–700 euros if booked a few days (or even hours) before departure, without insisting on one specific beach or hotel. The money you save with a last minute price can easily be invested in visiting the pyramids or waterparks, unforgettable diving, camel rides or other activities in Egypt.
Discounts up to 50%
Packages that normally cost around 1000 euros for two can drop to approximately 600–700 euros when purchased as last minute deals.
All inclusive & comfort
Last minute offers usually include flights, transfers and all inclusive board in 4–5★ hotels at the price of a standard 3★ package.
Almost year–round season
Egypt welcomes tourists practically all year: mild winters, warm spring, hot summer with special offers and a perfectly comfortable autumn.
Good for families & couples
Waterparks and kids’ clubs for families, calm resorts for relaxation and lively nightlife for young travellers – everyone can find their perfect style of holiday.
Direct flight from Bucharest
The direct flight to Hurghada or Sharm El Sheikh takes about 3 hours 20 minutes, making Egypt one of the most accessible exotic destinations from Romania.
Last minute Egypt holidays from Bucharest for families
Package holidays by plane to Egypt from Bucharest with all inclusive board are a great strategy for a family holiday with children. You can travel impressively but still cheaply when you grab a last minute deal from Bucharest in a period when all family members are free from work or school. Keep in mind that during the main summer season, when schoolchildren are on holiday, the number of packages can be limited. Booking a tour to Egypt from Bucharest is an excellent opportunity to save money and gift your children vibrant memories: the infrastructure is well developed, the landscapes are unforgettable, the sea is clean and there are many entertainment options.
Seasonality in Egypt: the best time to travel
A very common question: in which month is it best to spend your holiday in Egypt, and when are the packages cheapest? Beaches in Egypt welcome tourists almost all year round, so hunting for a good value Egypt tour is not limited to the summer months.
Winter months
Tours to Egypt in December and January, as well as packages for February, are quite popular because daytime air temperatures are around +22 to +25°C and water temperature about +22°C – comfortable for swimming. However, in winter it is often windy, so December marks the start of lower prices and special offers on last minute holidays. If you choose a sheltered bay with little wind, the comfort level will be high thanks to the mild temperatures and the absence of very strong sun – ideal for a calm beach holiday and sightseeing. Winter holidays in Egypt with children are best spent in hotels with heated pools and kids’ clubs. Evenings can be chilly, so warm clothes are needed.
Spring months
A spring holiday in Egypt is the perfect combination of warm weather and a relatively small number of tourists. The climate becomes as pleasant as possible for the beach: average air temperature is around +25 to +30°C, and water is warmer than at the start of the year (about +23 to +26°C). If you book offers to Egypt for March, choose hotels with good entertainment infrastructure and plan to visit the main sights, as the weather is a bit cooler than in late spring. In April and May, beach conditions become almost ideal and children’s animation programmes begin to run at full speed.
Summer months
Summer in Egypt (June–August) is a period of high temperatures: air between +30 and +45°C, water around +28 to +30°C. That’s why seasonal discounts and special offers from tour operators often appear, especially if your decision to travel is truly last minute.
Last minute offers to Egypt in June are cheap packages suitable for a classic summer beach holiday: air temperature +30 to +38°C, water +28 to +30°C. This month marks the start of the season with clear skies and minimal rainfall.
If you manage to buy a cheap tour to Egypt in July, you can expect quite high daytime temperatures (up to +40°C) and very warm water around +30°C, which creates great conditions for beach time, especially on the western coast. This is the ideal period for young travellers (swimming in the morning and evening, then nightlife), but it is not recommended for small children or elderly people because of the intense heat.
August is the hottest month in Egypt, with air temperatures up to +45°C and the Red Sea warming to about +32°C. It is perfect for active beach holidays and water entertainment such as diving or parasailing. Clear skies and warm sea create excellent conditions for young people who want to enjoy nightlife and beach parties. However, the heat can be exhausting for excursions and is not recommended for toddlers or elderly travellers.
Autumn months
Autumn tours to Egypt from Bucharest are a wonderful option when scorching summer days are replaced by milder weather and excursions become more comfortable and safe.
Cheap offers from Romania to Egypt in September mean good weather for swimming without extreme heat: air temperature +30 to +35°C and the Red Sea around +28°C.
October: average air temperature is +25 to +30°C, water about +26°C. It is one of the best months to visit Egypt, suitable both for beach holidays and excursions.
November: air temperature +20 to +25°C, water around +24°C. Perfect for people who prefer a cooler climate. Beaches are not crowded and package prices are more affordable.
Prices for all inclusive packages in Egypt depend heavily on the season: in summer there are often last minute offers and discounts in the hottest period (July/August), but the very cheapest deals can usually be found in winter (with the exception of New Year and Christmas holidays).

Sample 1–day itinerary in Egypt (Hurghada or Sharm El Sheikh)
If you have booked a last minute package and want to make the most of your very first day, here is a simple and well–balanced plan.
Morning: relaxed breakfast at the hotel, followed by time on the beach and a first swim in the Red Sea. Choose a hotel with easy entry into the water, especially if you are travelling with children – for example, some beaches in Hurghada or calmer bays in Sharm El Sheikh.
Midday and afternoon: join a boat trip with snorkelling or a short introductory dive to discover coral reefs and underwater life. Many local operators offer half–day tours, which are ideal for your first day by the sea.
Evening: stroll along the promenade, enjoy dinner in the hotel or at a restaurant with local cuisine, then browse souvenir shops or relax in a shisha bar. Active travellers can explore clubs or bars with live music in Hurghada or Sharm El Sheikh.
2–day itinerary: beach time plus adventure
Even with a short last minute trip, you can combine a full beach day with an active excursion programme.
Day 1: check–in, get to know the hotel grounds, spend time on the beach or by the pool and maybe enjoy the waterpark with the kids. In the evening, have dinner in the all inclusive restaurant, watch the animation show and take a light walk around the resort. This is your day to rest after the flight and ease into holiday mode.
Day 2: choose an active tour – a boat excursion to coral reefs with diving or snorkelling, or a desert safari by quad bike or jeep, with dinner in a Bedouin camp and sunset over the dunes. In the evening, return to the hotel, enjoy spa treatments or relax by the pool and finish the day with another stroll along the promenade.
This way, even during a short last minute holiday you can experience both a gentle beach break and the adventurous side of Egypt with its distinctive local flavour.
Frequently asked questions about last minute holidays to Egypt from Bucharest

How long is the direct flight from Bucharest to Egypt?
The direct flight to Hurghada or Sharm El Sheikh takes approximately 3 hours and 20 minutes.
