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 offers and restaurant menus checked 1 October 2026. Not a booking quote, a checkout price or an annual default; reprice your own dates, party and room.
Hotel charges listed by the provider are counted once, and breakfasts already in the rate are never bought again. Meals are benchmarks from Fresca, the public upscale restaurant at Four Seasons Alexandria at San Stefano (menus checked 1 October 2026, tax and service included); they are not a cheap citywide average and January prices are not guaranteed. Transport, drinks and activities are MTC allowances, not quotes. A sea or city view does not mean beach access. North Coast resorts are not priced. No halal certification is inferred.
