Dated cost examples
Six dated, itemised examples from 2027-01-19 to 2027-01-25: 6 nights and 7 days for two adults sharing one room, which is 14 person-days. Prices are as observed in October 2026, cover ground costs only, and are not multiplied out to other party sizes or trip lengths.
Dated planning example for two adults sharing one room, 19–25 January 2027: seven days and six nights, flights excluded. Hotel public room tables observed 2 October 2026; restaurant menu reviewed 2 October 2026. Not a booking quote, a checkout price or an annual default; reprice your own dates, party and room.
Hilton is breakfast-only, so lunches and dinners are priced from the El Halaka menu. Meraki and Sunny Days are all-inclusive: no meal cost is added for the five full days in between, and each total carries a separately shown OPTIONAL arrival/departure-day reserve with the subtotal without it. Seven full days of meals are never claimed, and meals eaten under the package are never charged twice. Transport, drinks and activities are MTC allowances, not quotes.

Practical notes
Use HRG for arrival. Compare board basis before comparing prices: a room-only offer and an all-inclusive stay cannot share the same added food budget. Meraki Hurghada is for guests aged 16 and over, so it is not a choice for a family travelling with younger children. Confirm the exact meal plan, drinks and beach access in the room offer.
Limits of these examples
