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.

Source-backed: El Halaka seafood restaurant menu (reviewed 2 October 2026; publication date not stated, January prices not guaranteed). Lunch: salmon fettuccine 320 EGP + 14% listed tax = 364.80 EGP per adult. Dinner A: seafood meal 420 + 14% = 478.80 EGP. Dinner B: VIP seafood meal 585 + 14% = 666.90 EGP. These are composed seafood meals, not a verified starter, main and dessert; no dessert is assumed. Unlisted service or cover charges are unknown, not zero. Repeating the meal is a budget benchmark, not a plan to eat there every day. Part of the optional reserve: OPTIONAL reserve for arrival and departure days: at most four breakfasts, four lunches and four dinners for the two of you across both days. It is not a hotel fee and not evidence that the all-inclusive plan excludes those meals; it is money you may not spend. Remove it if the package covers those meals or your flight times avoid them. The five full days in between carry no extra meal cost.

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
Covers the urban Hurghada coast only. Makadi Bay, Sahl Hasheesh, El Gouna, Luxor excursions and offshore diving or boat packages are excluded. Sea and boat conditions need a current check.
