Is travel getting cheaper now?

No, unfortunately, travel is becoming more expensive now. Due to inflation, the prices for flights, hotels, holiday homes and travel-related services such as transfers are increasing. The main reason for this is increased energy costs such as high kerosene prices due to high oil prices, which are passed on to consumers. The question Is travel cheaper now? unfortunately, the answer has to be – at least for the next few months and years – a resounding no.

When are trips at CHECK24 cheapest?

That is very different. Like most travel providers, the Check24 booking system uses databases in which the prices are constantly updated. The basis for this is the demand for a product. When a hotel has just been booked and supply is getting tighter, the price can go up. It is therefore advisable for all travel agents to keep an eye on the prices months before the trip, to check the prices again and again and to book when the price is currently low.

Where is the cheapest place to go on holiday in Germany?

You can go on holiday in the east of Germany particularly well and cheaply. If you spend your holiday in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania on the Baltic Sea coast, in Saxony on the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, in Saxony-Anhalt, Brandenburg or Thuringia, you can expect significantly reduced prices. However, it has to be said that the prices for holidays in East Germany are also increasing - especially because the regions are becoming more and more popular.

Where can you get the most for the euro?

The question Where can you get the most for the euro? you have to look at it differently. On the one hand, holidays in Eastern Europe (Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia) and Southeastern Europe (Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro) are particularly cheap. Furthermore, North Africa is particularly cheap for travel and holidays. On the other hand, there are numerous travel destinations worldwide where you can get a lot for little money. These include, for example, India and many Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia. Also in Central America and South America you get a lot of performance for your euro.

When will travel become cheaper again?

Unfortunately, travel will not be cheaper for the time being. Travel is becoming more expensive now. Due to inflation, the prices for flights, hotels, holiday homes and travel-related services such as transfers are increasing. The main reason for this is increased energy costs such as high kerosene prices due to high oil prices, which are passed on to consumers.

However, travelers who are flexible in terms of time can still save. In order to go on holiday cheaply despite rising prices, you should 1. travel outside of the holidays 2. avoid the high season at your travel destination and 3. compare prices on different booking platforms. In particular, the travel time from the end of October to the beginning of December and January to mid-March is particularly favorable because the demand for holiday trips is lower during this time.

When is the cheapest day of the week to book a holiday?

I've read that booking trips on Sundays in the evening is said to be cheapest. However, it must be said that tour operators and travel agents rely on centralized databases that are dependent on supply and demand and use complicated pricing algorithms. If a trip is sold frequently, the price increases. There are also other personal factors - such as how often you have already searched for a trip from a travel agent.

Will travel become more expensive in 2022?

Yes, traveling will be more expensive in 2022. Due to inflation, the prices for flights, hotels, holiday homes and travel-related services such as transfers are increasing. The main reason for this is increased energy costs such as high kerosene prices due to high oil prices, which are passed on to consumers. In this respect, one unfortunately has to ask the question Will travel be more expensive in 2022? answer yes.

What is the cheapest time to fly?

Air travel should be particularly cheap to book on Sunday evenings.

Is Check24 serious?

From my own experience I can say that Check24 is very serious. I have often booked trips, vacations and rental cars on the portal. In addition, I have often used the offers of electricity and Internet providers there. So far, the offer has always been extremely serious and the customer service is even much better than that of many other providers.

When is the cheapest time to book a flight?

Air travel should be particularly cheap to book on Sunday evenings.

When is the best time to travel?

The best time to travel is usually the low season, i.e. the months immediately before or after the high season. Prices are lower than in high season, but the weather is still good if you're lucky. But of course there are many other factors that play a role when deciding on a vacation - for example the budget and the preferred activities. Therefore, it is best if you consider all these factors before making a decision.

In addition, friends or acquaintances who have already been to a certain place can give valuable tips.

Where is the best place to travel?

The best travel destinations depend on numerous subjective factors. You can find the best travel destinations, sorted by month, in my table.

In my very personal, subjective opinion, the best place to travel is Mauritius - the most beautiful island in the world.

As a rule, vacations are cheaper outside of high season. The peak season usually falls in the summer months in Europe and in December to February in countries such as Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. If you are looking for a bargain, you should plan your trip for the low season, i.e. the period between high and low season.

Traveling in the low season, i.e. in the months before or after the high season, can also be a good way to get cheaper prices.

Travelers in East Frisia can also get to the sea quite cheaply. In addition, the Spreewald is a relatively cheap excursion and travel destination - Brandenburg is generally not too expensive.

When is the cheapest time to book a flight?

Our personal experience is that after this magical limit of two months before departure, air travel becomes a little more expensive every day. So there are two ways to pre-book the flight for your cheap vacation. Either you book very early up to twelve months in advance or you book around two months before departure. In both cases, there should be a relatively good chance of getting particularly cheap flights. In addition, there are always offers from individual airlines that are really really good and promise great discounts. And with a little luck you will even get upgrade offers that make flying a little more comfortable.

If you want to experience something, you can have a wonderful holiday in Southeast Asia - the islands in Thailand for example in Phang Nga National Park or Bali in Indonesia. And my personal favorite vacation spot is the island Mauritiuswhich for me is the epitome of paradise. If you don't want to go that far, you will find attractive holiday resorts on the Mediterranean Sea, which are also definitely among the most beautiful travel destinations in the world.

In which country is nature the most beautiful?

Unfortunately, I haven't been there yet, but from everything I've read so far, nature has to be in Australia be the most beautiful.

I have listed a few examples of countries that are ideal for the various types of travel.
- Beach vacation: Maldives, Thailand (south), Mauritius, Sri Lanka, Indonesia (Bali, Lombok), Zanzibar, Canaries (Fuerteventura and Lanzarote)

What is the most beautiful country in the world?

I have a very clear answer to this question: The most beautiful country in the world is in Southeast Asia. The question is also: if I could only visit one country, which one would it be? And there the answer is easy: Thailand. The state in Southeast Asia has everything a country should have that is a must-see. Incredibly friendly people, a pronounced largely peaceful Buddhist culture, an up-and-coming economy, picturesque landscapes and dream beaches, and a pleasant tropical climate characterize Thailand. That is why the country is at the top of my "Conviction Visit List" (list of countries that you should definitely visit).

Which country is the cheapest to go on vacation?

Thailand is the country where you can get the cheapest vacation and enjoy an excellent trip at the same time. Because you don't just want to go on a cheap holiday, the whole package has to be right. And that's most likely to do it in Thailand. You can certainly go on vacation cheaper in other countries in Southeast Asia, but then you will most likely have to accept compromises in terms of vacation quality. Sure, if you are traveling as an individual traveler or adventurer, you can certainly save even more in Cambodia or Laos, but you do not have the hotel infrastructure for luxury, wellness and high standards as in Thailand.

Where can you best go on holiday in Europe?

In Europe, in my opinion, the best way to vacation is in the Mediterranean. The most beautiful travel destinations in Europe are simply around the inland sea. The most beautiful travel destinations where you can best vacation in Europe include:
- The Greek islands
- The Adriatic coast in Croatia
- South France
- Malta, Gozo and Comino
- Sardinia
- The Amalfi Coast
- The Balearic and Canary Islands
- Insider tip: Sicily

Where is a short trip worthwhile?

If you are planning a short trip, you want to use a short-haul flight and see and experience as much as possible in a few days. I love the city of Rome in Italy. There is hardly a place in Europe that is so incredibly diverse and beautiful. A short trip to Rome is really worthwhile because you gain an incredible wealth of impressions in a very short time - and when you stroll through the city with its endless number of historical buildings, you will have forgotten everyday life in no time. So off to Rome!

Which country has the most beautiful landscape?

The country with the most beautiful scenery in the world is for sure Australia - also because the landscape there is so diverse. The sparsely populated continent has an incredibly varied landscape - everything from dream beaches to tropical rainforests to steppes is included. There are many countries in the world where nature is beautiful, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is at its most beautiful in Australia.

Where is it best to live?

Mauritius is the most beautiful place to live. Because on the one hand you have an idyllic and picturesque tropical travel destination with a beautiful landscape. On the other hand, you also have a well-developed social system and a country that is experiencing an economic upswing. In addition, the people in Mauritius are very friendly, helpful and will certainly make it very easy for you to live there.

What types of trips are there?

You can choose from many different types of trips, from short city breaks to adventure trips and round trips. The most important types of travel and travel themes are:
City trips: These are trips to cities where sightseeing and cultural activities are in the foreground.
Beach Holidays: This type of travel is aimed at people who want to relax and enjoy the sea.
Adventure Travel: They are aimed at people who are looking for an exciting and active experience and want to discover the world in an exciting way.
Round Trips: These are trips that visit multiple locations to get to know a country or region better.
Nature Travel: It is a type of travel suitable for people who want to experience and be inspired by nature.

Which type of travel suits my travel style and interests?

Choosing the right type of travel depends on various factors such as personal preferences, interests and travel style. Anyone who likes to be active and is looking for adventure is well advised to go on an adventure trip. On the other hand, if you are looking for relaxation and recreation, you should opt for a beach holiday, a bathing holiday or a nature trip. And those interested in history and culture should consider a city trip or round trip.

What are the pros and cons of the different types of travel?

Each type of travel has its advantages and disadvantages. City trips, for example, allow you to experience many sights and cultural offers, but also a faster pace and more hectic. Recovery usually falls by the wayside. Beach vacations allow for relaxation and recreation, but also a limited range of activities. Adventure travel gives you the chance for exciting experiences, but also more physical exertion and uncertainty. Round trips allow to see many places and regions, but also more travel effort and a tighter schedule. Nature trips show you the beauty and diversity of nature, but also include a certain remoteness and limited cultural offerings.

What influence do costs have on the choice of travel type?

Cost can be an important factor when choosing the type of travel. City trips and round trips are often more expensive due to the higher travel and accommodation costs. On the other hand, beach and nature trips can be cheaper depending on the luxury of the destination and the accommodation. Adventure travel can vary greatly in price depending on the activity and destination. It is important to calculate the costs carefully in advance and stick to a realistic budget.

How to make sure you are well prepared for the type of trip you choose?

In order to ensure a pleasant and safe trip, it is important to prepare well for the type of travel you choose. This includes finding out about the destination and local conditions, obtaining the necessary travel documents and making sure you are well equipped for the activities and the climate. It is also important to learn about and respect local rules and customs. It is also important to have adequate travel insurance to cover you in the event of an emergency.

How important is flexibility when choosing a type of travel?

Flexibility can play an important role in choosing a suitable type of travel. Some types of travel require strict scheduling and a certain degree of inflexibility, such as city breaks or round trips. Other types of travel, such as nature or adventure travel, offer more freedom and flexibility in planning and executing the trip. It is important that you are aware of the requirements and demands of the type of travel you choose and balance these with your own preferences and needs.

What role does the duration of the trip play when choosing the type of trip?

The duration of the trip can play a crucial role in choosing the type of trip. Short trips, such as weekend or city breaks, are good for a short break from work or everyday life. Longer trips, such as round trips or nature tours, on the other hand, require more time and planning. When choosing the type of travel, it is important to consider the time available and your own needs.

How important is the type of accommodation when choosing the type of trip?

The type of accommodation can play an important role in choosing the type of travel. Beach vacations and nature trips often offer the option of staying in luxury resorts or nature shelters. City breaks and round trips, on the other hand, offer a larger selection of accommodation, from hotels to bed & breakfasts to holiday apartments. It is important that you consider your preferences and needs when choosing accommodation.

Can the travel types be combined or are they strictly separated from each other?

The travel types can be combined with each other to create a varied and varied trip. For example, a city trip can be combined with a beach holiday or a nature trip with a round trip. However, it is important to consider the requirements and needs of each type of trip and to plan the combination so that there is enough time and opportunity for each part of the trip. It is advisable to seek advice from a tour operator or travel agent to find the best combination.

How important are factors such as weather, culture and safety when choosing the type of trip?

Factors such as weather, culture and safety can play a crucial role in choosing the type of travel. For example, the weather can make a certain type of trip unsuitable, while another type of trip offers just the right weather. The culture and political stability of a country can also play an important role in the decision to travel or not. It's important that you research the current conditions and safety situation at your destination before making a decision. Overall, it is important to consider your preferences, needs and options when choosing a type of travel.

The most important questions and answers about holidays in Egypt

When is the best time to visit Sharm El Sheikh?

The answer is very simple: always, just not in midsummer - because in midsummer temperatures can rise to 50 degrees Celsius. From the end of September to the beginning of May, however, the temperatures are warm to hot (around 33 to 35 degrees Celsius), but very bearable due to the low humidity and the constantly refreshing wind. At the end of October, temperatures drop on the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt.

During the day, despite a lot of sun, they barely reach 32 degrees and at night the values ​​can drop to 23 degrees. Reason enough for many Egyptians to put on a thick jacket. For Europeans, however, the guaranteed sunshine and consistently high temperatures have an almost magical appeal and make the small holiday resort on the Red Sea an attractive and healing experience for body and mind.

Where is the most beautiful place in Egypt?

Egypt has many beautiful corners that are suitable for sun-seeking beach vacationers as well as for adventurers, explorers and water sports enthusiasts. Divers and kite surfers in particular love the Red Sea. Some of the most beautiful places to visit in Egypt include:
1. Sharm El Sheikh
2. Marsa Allam
3. Makadi Bay
4. El Quseir
5. El Gouna
6. Cairo
7.Luxor
8. Hurghada
This is my personal ranking. Cairo is a bit out of the way, as it is of course difficult to compare the metropolis with the small holiday resorts.

Which hotels in Egypt are recommended?

In Egypt there is a very long list of recommended hotels, most of which are located on the Red Sea and are suitable for fans of beach vacations, diving vacations and wellness vacations. I have stayed in numerous Egypt hotels over the years and so far I can recommend every single one of them:
1. Cleopatra Luxury Resort Sharm El Sheikh
2. Movenpick El Quseir
3. The Breakers Soma Bay
4. Movenpick Resort Soma Bay
5. Cleopatra Luxury Resort Makadi
6. The Three Corners Fayrouz Plaza Beach Resort
7. Orca Diving Village Safaga
8. The Three Corners Equinox Beach Resort
9. Tropitel Dahab Oasis
10. Viva Blue Resort Sharm El Naga
11. Menaville Safaga

Where is it better Hurghada or Sharm el Sheikh?

When it comes to the resorts all alone, I think Sharm El Sheikh is far more beautiful and better than Hurghada. The place is much cleaner, looks much more well-kept and is much quieter and more dignified. Hurghada is very busy and loud. However, the region around Hurghada is beautiful and there is an incredible amount to do and experience along the coast - in holiday resorts such as El Gouna, Makadi Bay, Safaga, El Quseir and Marsa Alam. Excursions are only possible to a limited extent on the Sinai, as some parts of the peninsula - especially the northern part - are considered unsafe.

Is it dangerous to travel to Hurghada?

According to the Foreign Office, there is still a certain risk of terrorist attacks across Egypt. However, it is very, very safe in the Red Sea resorts. The risk for Hurghada is rather low. During a vacation in Hurghada, one should rather beware of the typical dangers of vacation: intrusive vendors, pickpockets and rotten food can quickly spoil the holiday pleasure. Basically, you can feel very safe on site.

How dangerous is it to travel to Egypt now?

In principle, there is still an increased risk of terrorist attacks in Egypt, there is no question about that. Vacationers who want to travel to Egypt should definitely follow the instructions of the Foreign Office keep. The information from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is the best source of information for German citizens and should be followed as far as possible. Incidentally, the same applies to all travel destinations on the Red Sea.

Is Sharm El Sheikh Safe?

In principle, this question cannot be answered with a yes or no. Vacationers who want to travel to Sharm El Sheikh should definitely follow the advice of the Federal Foreign Office. The information from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is the best source of information for German citizens and one should act accordingly. Incidentally, the same applies to the other travel destinations on the Red Sea in Egypt.

What does Sharm el Sheikh mean?

Sharm El Sheikh (also Sharm el Sheikh or Sharm El Sheikh) means something like Bay of the Sheikh. The place is located on a beautiful bay - Naama Bay - which really deserves its name.

Until when does the travel warning from the Foreign Office apply to Egypt?

As of October 2023, there is only a partial travel warning for Egypt, which does not affect the holiday resorts on the Red Sea. That's what it says Foreign Office: “There is still an increased risk of terrorist attacks across the country. These are mostly aimed at Egyptian security authorities, but occasionally also at foreign targets and citizens. […] A warning is given against travel to the north of the Sinai Peninsula, the Egyptian-Israeli border area (with the exception of Taba) and remote areas of the Sahara. Unaccompanied, individual excursions and overland trips in the south of the Sinai Peninsula are not recommended. […] There is a warning against travel to remote areas of the Sahara, including the border areas with Libya and Sudan.” There is no travel warning for the western Red Sea resorts such as Hurghada, Safaga and Marsa Alam.

Can you travel to Egypt as a Swiss citizen?

Yes, as a Swiss you can travel to Egypt. A visa is required for this, which can be applied for upon entry - "Visa-on-arrival". To do this, travelers need a Swiss passport that is valid for at least six months. The visa costs around 28 euros (price may have changed in the meantime).

What do you need to enter Egypt?

To enter Egypt, a visa is required, which can be applied for upon entry - "Visa-on-arrival". To do this, travelers need a valid passport that is valid for at least six months. A temporary passport is also accepted. The visa costs around 28 euros (price may have changed in the meantime).

When is it cheapest in Egypt?

Many Europeans - especially families - travel to Egypt during the holiday season. Accordingly, the most expensive trip is during the school holidays. If you want to save, you should book your vacation outside of this time - then it is cheapest in Egypt. Basically, you should book the trip four to eight weeks before departure. Spontaneous vacationers should keep an eye out for super last minute offers, where the departure takes place immediately after booking. In this way, up to 70 percent of the travel price can be saved.

Is it possible to travel to Egypt as a package?

Egypt is one of the most popular package travel destinations - so yes, you can travel to Egypt as a package. Since the trip to Egypt is secured when booking through a tour operator, a package tour is recommended for Egypt. Of course, you can also book your holiday in the land of the pharaohs individually - flights via Istanbul and Cairo are easy to book. In addition, the hotels can be conveniently reserved over the Internet. Individual planning is particularly useful for round trips.

How long is the flight from Egypt to Germany?

Egypt can be reached relatively quickly from Central Europe and thus also from Germany. The actual flight time is four to five hours for direct flights. In the case of connecting flights in Istanbul and Cairo, for example, the travel time can be extended to eight to 12 hours.

Where is the most beautiful place in Egypt?

Egypt has many beautiful corners that are suitable for sun-seeking beach vacationers as well as for adventurers, explorers and water sports enthusiasts. Divers and kite surfers in particular love the Red Sea. Some of the most beautiful places to visit in Egypt include:
1. Sharm El Sheikh
2. Marsa Allam

6. Cairo
7.Luxor
8. Hurghada
This is my personal ranking. Cairo is a bit out of the way, as it is of course difficult to compare the metropolis with the small holiday resorts.

When is it the windiest in Egypt?

It's almost always windy on the Red Sea in Egypt - I've rarely seen the Red Sea with little wind. The period from October to May should be less windy. However, I cannot confirm that. So far I have had a lot of wind at the Red Sea in Egypt in every season.

Where are the most beautiful house reefs in Egypt?

The most beautiful house reef for diving and snorkeling that I have seen in Egypt is at the Mövenpick Resort El Quseir. The who's who of marine life can be found there - dolphins and whale sharks also stop by here from time to time. One of the most beautiful coral gardens in the Red Sea is also located here.

Where are the best places to go snorkeling in Egypt?

For snorkeling I would recommend the Three Corners Equinox near Marsa Alam. There I was able to see the Marsa Alam manatee while snorkeling. Dolphins can also be seen snorkeling here. And the underwater landscape also has a lot to offer in other ways. Basically, you can snorkel very well along the entire Red Sea coast in Egypt.

Can you bathe in Egypt in winter?

Yes, swimming in Egypt is excellent in winter. In the pools of the hotels anyway. And even the Red Sea still reaches stately temperatures in winter, which are suitable for swimming on the numerous beaches. Egypt is highly recommended in winter: Even in the deepest winter, temperatures usually rise above 20 degrees Celsius with almost guaranteed sunshine.

What is the name of the desert in Egypt?

The desert in Egypt belongs to the eastern Sahara and is known as the Arabian desert.

How much does a hotel cost in Egypt?

What a hotel in Egypt costs depends entirely on your own requirements. If you want to go on holiday in a bed castle in Hurghada, you can reside for as little as 20 euros per night. If you want something more comfortable, you can pay up to 200 euros per night for an upscale hotel. A good middle class hotel can be booked for around 100 euros per night. All-inclusive services are often available for small surcharges.

Why not go to Egypt?

I really don't know why you shouldn't travel to Egypt at the moment. You can really have a good and cheap holiday in the land of the pharaohs. The country tends to be very safe, even if there is a risk of terrorist attacks – like in many places in the world, including in Europe. As of August 2021, there is only a partial travel warning for Egypt, which does not affect the holiday resorts on the Red Sea. That's what it says at Foreign Office: “There is still an increased risk of terrorist attacks across the country.

[…] We warn against traveling to remote areas of the Sahara, including the border areas with Libya and Sudan. ”There is no travel warning for holiday resorts on the western Red Sea such as Hurghada, Safaga and Marsa Alam.

Is Hurghada expensive?

No, Hurghada is not expensive, but rather cheap. There are a lot of hotels there and a correspondingly large selection that ensures rather low prices. However, Hurghada is also a typical mass tourism destination that I cannot recommend for discerning holidaymakers.

Is Hurghada beautiful?

Hurghada also has beautiful corners - for example the markets and the marina. However, Hurghada is also a typical mass tourism destination that I cannot recommend for discerning holidaymakers. Personally, I don't think Hurghada is beautiful. But the region is very beautiful and the holiday resorts nearby: El Gouna, Makadi Bay, Soma Bay, Sharm El Naga, Safaga, El Quseir and Marsa Alam are really nice places that can be reached via the airport of Hurghada.

How do you speak in Hurghada?

Arabic is spoken in Hurghada.

Why is Egypt a popular travel destination?

Egypt is quite rightly a popular travel destination. Egypt has many beautiful corners that are suitable for sun-seeking beach vacationers as well as for adventurers, explorers and water sports enthusiasts. Divers and kite surfers in particular love the Red Sea. Some of the most beautiful places to visit in Egypt include:
1. Sharm El Sheikh
2. Marsa Allam
3. Makadi Bay
4. El Quseir
5. El Gouna
6. Cairo
7.Luxor
8. Hurghada
This is my personal ranking. Cairo is a bit out of the way, as it is of course difficult to compare the metropolis with the small holiday resorts.

Can you go to Egypt by car?

Yes, of course you can also drive to Egypt from Europe. But the journey is long. A few weeks should be planned for this. The journey usually takes place by ferry across the Mediterranean. A Carnet de Passage - entry permit for the vehicle - must be presented upon entry.

How long does the passport have to be valid for Egypt?

The passport must be valid for at least six months when leaving Egypt.

How long can I stay in Egypt?

The tourist visa is valid for 30 days. Longer residence permits of up to six months can be applied for at the Egyptian embassy.

The official currency in Egypt is the Egyptian pound. However, you can often pay in euros, dollars, Swiss francs and British pounds - each retailer decides individually. In many modern shops and hotels, you can also pay by credit card.

When is Hurghada cheapest?

Many Europeans - especially families - travel to Hurghada and Egypt in general during the holiday season. Accordingly, the most expensive trip is during the school holidays. If you want to save, you should book your vacation outside of this time - then it is cheapest in Hurghada. Basically, you should book the trip four to eight weeks before departure. Spontaneous vacationers should keep an eye out for super last minute offers, where the departure takes place immediately after booking. In this way, up to 70 percent of the travel price can be saved.

How much does a week vacation in Egypt cost?

In the best case scenario, you can book a week in Egypt from around 300 euros. However, the prices vary greatly depending on travel time and hotel category. For an average ten-day vacation in Egypt, you should plan around 600 to 800 euros per person plus pocket money.

Where are the pyramids in Egypt?

All over Egypt there are temples and pyramids that were built by the ancient high culture. World famous are the pyramids of Giza, which are located in the north of the country on the outskirts of Cairo - only 20 kilometers from the city center.

When is it cheapest to travel to Egypt?

Spontaneous vacationers should keep an eye out for super last minute offers, where the departure takes place immediately after booking. In this way, up to 70 percent of the travel price can be saved.

Which hotel in Egypt has the most beautiful beach?

I found the beach at Three Corners Equinox near Marsa Alam particularly beautiful. Basically, the beaches around Marsa Alam are particularly beautiful. There are also many secluded bays that can be visited from the hotel on an excursion, for example.

Where is Marsa Alam?

Marsa Alam is located south of Hurghada on the western Red Sea. The small town has its own airport and is known for its manatees and dolphins, among other things. Marsa Alam can also be reached from the north of Hurghada, for example by a two-hour drive from Hurghada via Safaga via El Quseir to Marsa Alam.

How safe is it in Marsa Alam

There is a comparatively low crime rate in Marsa Alam. And otherwise I felt very safe in the region. The hotels and resorts are surrounded by police stations and have their own guards who will not let strangers into the hotel. Places like Port Ghalib and Marsa Alam can also feel very safe. One gets the feeling that the Egyptian government wants to give holidaymakers a strong sense of security - and they are succeeding.

Where is the best place to snorkel in Marsa Alam?

Basically, many hotels in the Marsa Alam region have their own house reef, where you can go snorkeling. It is also worth snorkeling in Marsa Mubarak Bay, where the manatee (the dugong) often resides. There are also secluded and secluded coves throughout the region where you can go diving and snorkeling. Your hotel's water sports center or diving schools are often familiar with these bays and usually offer day trips while you can sunbathe, swim, snorkel and dive.

What currency does Marsa Alam have?

The national currency in Egypt - and thus also in Marsa Alam - is the Egyptian pound (EGP). However, as a holidaymaker, you usually only need to exchange money in exceptional cases. Euros are also accepted in most shops.

How safe is Hurghada right now?

I would rate Hurghada as very safe at the moment. I was last there a few months ago and felt completely safe at all times. The place tends to be very safe, even if – like many places around the world, including Europe – there is a risk of terrorist attacks. As of August 2021, there is only a partial travel warning for Egypt, which does not affect the holiday resorts on the Red Sea. That's what it says Foreign Office: “There is still an increased risk of terrorist attacks across the country.

These are mostly directed against Egyptian security authorities, but occasionally also against foreign targets and citizens. […] Warnings are given against traveling to the north of the Sinai Peninsula, the Egyptian-Israeli border area (with the exception of Taba) and remote areas of the Sahara. Unaccompanied, individual excursions and overland trips in the south of the Sinai Peninsula are not recommended. […] We warn against traveling to remote areas of the Sahara, including the border areas with Libya and Sudan. ”There is no travel warning for holiday resorts on the western Red Sea such as Hurghada, Safaga and Marsa Alam.

Is Egypt dangerous for tourists?

I would rate the tourist regions in Egypt on the Red Sea - the western Red Sea and the Sinai Peninsula - as very safe. Security forces ensure that holidaymakers have a strong sense of security. As of August 2021, there is only a partial travel warning for Egypt, which does not affect the holiday resorts on the Red Sea. That's what it says at Foreign Office: “There is still an increased risk of terrorist attacks across the country.

These are mostly directed against Egyptian security authorities, but occasionally also against foreign targets and citizens.

[…] We warn against traveling to remote areas of the Sahara, including the border areas with Libya and Sudan. ”There is no travel warning for holiday resorts on the western Red Sea such as Hurghada, Safaga and Marsa Alam.

Can a woman travel alone to Egypt?

In principle, you can also travel to Egypt alone as a woman. In this case, however, you should definitely follow the safety instructions and travel warnings of the Foreign Office mistake for Egypt. Experience has shown that as a woman, men very often approach and approach you. I can't say to what extent it can also lead to attacks. When in doubt, travel with a trusted group or book a package holiday at a hotel with transfers.

Can you move freely in Egypt?

Yes, in principle you can move freely in Egypt as a holidaymaker - if you want to. However, most tourists rarely leave the resort during their stay. You can book guided excursions to sights or to the cities in the hotel and theoretically you can move around freely. A few years ago I did Egypt tours on my own and only came into contact with very hospitable and helpful people. In this case, however, you should definitely follow the safety instructions and travel warnings of the Foreign Office mistake for Egypt.

How is Marsa Alam?

From the point of view of holidaymakers, the Marsa Alam region is meant more and less the small town itself. The area is definitely one of the most beautiful corners of Egypt, as there are some excellent hotels and resorts here on the Red Sea coast, secluded beaches, the Wadi el Gemal National Park and a particularly large number of marine animals such as sea turtles and the famous manatees. In addition, the region is particularly quiet and not as touristy as the area around Hurghada.

Where is the most beautiful place in Marsa Alam?

The entire Marsa Alam region is very beautiful and is certainly one of my favorite areas in Egypt, as it is particularly quiet and relaxed here. Personally, I find the area all the more beautiful the further south you go in the direction of the Wadi el Gemal National Park, as it tends to be quieter. There are beautiful beaches and where there are not so many snorkelers and divers around, the marine life increasingly comes out of their hiding places. I would therefore choose a hotel south of the city of Marsa Alam.

How long does it take to drive from Hurghada to Marsa Alam?

For the route from Hurghada to Marsa Alam Airport we needed 2 hours and 45 minutes with a modern minibus. The route is about 280 kilometers. The city itself is a little further south. The distance from Hurghada to the city of Marsa Alam is 350 kilometers and the driving time is about 3 hours and 30 minutes.

How is the weather in Marsa Alam in December?

The maximum temperatures in Marsa Alam in December are around 25 degrees Celsius. You can lie on the beach and swim during the day. It can get a bit chilly in the evenings. The night temperatures are a relaxed 17 degrees Celsius. Since the sun shines almost all year round on the Red Sea in Egypt, you can expect a lot of sunshine in December.

Where can you take a good and cheap holiday in Germany?

In Germany there are numerous good and cheap travel destinations where holidaymakers - especially families - can go on a good and cheap holiday in summer. The best travel destinations for a good and affordable holiday include Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania with the popular holiday regions of Rügen Island, Poel Island, the Müritz and the Baltic Sea coast in general. Travelers in East Frisia can also get to the sea quite cheaply. In addition, the Spreewald is a relatively cheap excursion and travel destination - Brandenburg is generally not too expensive. You can also head for the Elbe Sandstone Mountains in Saxon Switzerland on a holiday for little money in Germany. For families with children in particular, these travel destinations are the first choice for a good and cheap holiday in Germany.

Where can I go on vacation in Germany?

Germany offers several excellent travel destinations. We have once compiled a list of the most beautiful and worth seeing travel destinations in Germany.

How much does a vacation in the Maldives cost?

The price of a vacation in the Maldives can vary widely. Many factors play a role: On the one hand, of course, the time of year in which you are flying to the Maldives, on the other hand, the resort, the choice of villa and, thirdly, the catering. There are also costs for excursions and diving. If you have not booked full board or all inclusive, there may be numerous other costs for food and drinks. I would estimate that an average Maldives vacation costs between 1.800 and 10.000 euros per person - depending on the season in which you book and how much luxury you treat yourself to.

When is the best time to visit the Maldives?

The best time to travel to the Maldives is in the European winter. Between November and March there is a lot of sunshine and relatively little rainfall in the realm of the islands. In June and July there is still a small dry phase in the rainy season, but the weather can be much more unstable. Basically there is precipitation in the Maldives all year round, so you have to expect rain and dark clouds in every season. But it is nice and warm all year round with temperatures just over 30 degrees Celsius.

Are the Maldives dangerous?

No, the Maldives are not dangerous at all. The Maldivians are basically a very peaceful, hospitable and courteous people. Of course, there are black sheep here as well, as everywhere. You should of course observe the usual security procedures on vacation with regard to theft and other frauds in the capital Malé. On the other hand, on the resort islands you are completely isolated from the outside world and therefore completely safe.

What is prohibited in the Maldives?

Basically everything is just as allowed on the resort islands as in a hotel in Europe. You can drink alcohol and walk around the beach in your swimming trunks. The situation is different in the capital Malé and on the islands of the locals. Alcohol is largely prohibited there and as a holidaymaker you have to dress morally (which you should always do). Lying on the beach in a bikini is strictly forbidden. Since the local islands are becoming more and more popular with holidaymakers, there are now some specially designated beaches where travelers can go into the water in bathing trunks and bikini.

How much money do you need in the Maldives?

Of course, that all depends. You can't spend a lot of money in the Maldives. On the islands of the locals and in the resorts there are small kiosks for drinks and some everyday products, but you can't leave a lot of money there either. Make sure you bring everything you need from home - 100 ml of sunscreen can cost $ 20. If you've booked an all-inclusive vacation, you will likely need very little money. However, if you have to pay for your food on the island on a daily basis, it can easily cost $ 100 or more per person per day. You can of course pay by credit card on the resort island. There are no ATMs for withdrawing money. In any case, I would pocket 500 to 1000 euros as a hidden reserve - in an emergency you just take the money back home with you.

When is it cheapest in the Maldives?

It is cheapest in the Maldives in the off-season. However, there is also a catch: the off-season is the rainy season. Many holidaymakers say that it is not that bad and that the sun always comes out. However, I have also experienced other things in the tropics: There can also be continuous rain for days during which you are practically stuck in your beach villa. It is cheapest in the Maldives from May to October - however, this time is also associated with disadvantages. But you can also be lucky: I was in the Maldives once in June and had wonderfully beautiful weather for twelve days.

How often does it rain in the Maldives?

The weather in the Maldives is divided into the rainy season and the dry season. During the dry period between January and March, it only rains on average between four and six days per month. The situation is different during the rainy season: between May and October you have up to 16 rainy days per month. It rains comparatively a lot and often in the Maldives. Even in the dry season there are more clouds and there can be the occasional shower or even rainy day. It's actually rare to have days of sunshine.

Can you travel to the Maldives?

Yes, you can travel to the Maldives without any problems. There are numerous flights from Germany that lead to the Maldives. The Maldives is a very safe travel destination according to Foreign Office. Even during the Corona pandemic it is possible to fly to the Maldives if the relevant regulations are adhered to.

Can you go to the Maldives in July?

Yes, you can also go to the Maldives in July. In principle, you can travel to the Maldives all year round. However, from May to October is the low season because this is the time of the rainy season. During this time it can rain heavily and for a long time. I've seen it rain for days. But the vacation in July in the Maldives is very cheap.

If you have that for 14 days, you can work out what extra costs you will have for the meal.

How much do drinks cost in the Maldives?

Also with the drinks I would definitely recommend full board or all inclusive. Because drinks are also extremely expensive on the resort islands. I paid up to $ 14 for a beer.

This is ideal for bathing, swimming and snorkeling.

Just in case, I would still pack light, sturdy shoes for dinner at the resort. On the islands of the locals, vacationers should dress respectfully and show as little bare skin as possible.

In addition, guesthouses on local islands are significantly cheaper than the resort islands.

Should you book all inclusive in the Maldives?

Yes, I would definitely book all inclusive in the Maldives. Because experience shows that everything you have to buy additionally at the resort on your island is incredibly expensive. You can easily pay $100 for lunch per person or $14 for a beer. This results in horrendous extra costs in a week or two of vacation. The surcharge for all inclusive in the Maldives should therefore be significantly cheaper.

What is the rainy season like in the Maldives?

Many people don't find the rainy season in the Maldives all that bad. You then assume that there is only a heavy shower in the afternoon. I would, however, have heard and experienced different things: I know people who had continuous rain for a week in the Maldives during the rainy season.

I have already been to the Maldives once in June and can say that June is a wonderful time to fly to the Maldives. I was very lucky with the weather and twelve days of glorious sunshine. In June, however, is already the rainy season and you can be absolutely unlucky with the weather. The people who were there a week before me had a week of continuous rain on their vacation.

What does full board mean in the Maldives?

Yes, I would definitely book all inclusive in the Maldives. Because everything that you additionally have to buy in the resort on your island is, according to experience, very expensive. You pay $ 100 for lunch or $ 14 for a beer, without further ado. This creates horrific extra costs in a week or two of vacation. The surcharge for all inclusive in the Maldives should be significantly cheaper. What exactly full board means in the Maldives, of course, differs from resort to resort and should be checked with your tour operator.

Is it boring in the Maldives?

  • Where is the most beautiful place in Thailand?

    So in my opinion Koh Phangan, Koh Lipe and Koh Mook (Koh Muk) are the most beautiful. If I had to decide where to vacation in Thailand, I would choose these three islands. The question “Where is it most beautiful in Thailand?” Is, however, to a large extent subjective, so that of course numerous other islands and of course the mainland such as Khao Lak or Chiang Mai also come into question.

  • What should you definitely see in Thailand?

    - the nightlife of Bangkok
    - the elephants of Chiang Mai
    - the beaches and the Big Buddha of Phuket
    - Party on the beach on Koh Phi Phi
    - Relaxed beach vacation on Koh Phangan
    - Diving in Khao Lak
    - Stand Up Paddling on Koh Lipe

  • Where is it most beautiful in Thailand in November?

    In November the rainy season is just coming to an end in southern Thailand. It's raining noticeably less, mostly towards the late afternoon and evening. If possible, I would orientate myself towards northern Thailand in November. The rainy season ends here in October, the best travel time in Chiang Mai and Co. is between October and February. From December onwards it will slowly get sunnier in the Gulf of Thailand. The dry season begins here in January at the latest. Even in December it is noticeably drier and sunnier.

  • Which island in Thailand in December?

    Up to and including November, I would rather choose the islands in the south of Thailand - Phuket, Koh Phi Phi, Koh Lanta down to Koh Lipe. Even here the weather is still unstable in November, but tends to be a bit better than over on the Gulf of Thailand. From December onwards, in my opinion, you can slowly orientate yourself a little further north and also head for Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao and in the north Koh Chang. If you don't mind a few heavy showers, you can visit any island at any time.

  • Which is better Koh Samui or Khao Lak?

    So the decision is really easy for me: Khao Lak is beautiful, but Koh Samui is much more beautiful in my opinion. The island is quite crowded and very touristy, but still a real paradise and definitely one of the most beautiful islands in Thailand. So I would definitely prefer Koh Samui to a vacation in Khao Lak - although Khao Lak is also beautiful and the breathtakingly beautiful Khao Sok National Park is nearby.

  • Which island in Thailand is recommended?

    Personally, I'm a big fan of Koh Phangan. The island is just unbelievably beautiful, heavenly, not too small and not too big and sometimes not even completely overcrowded. Once a month, thousands of visitors flock to the legendary Full Moon Party on the island - but they left as quickly as they came. And outside of this time, Koh Phangan is a real relaxed paradise with dream beaches, dense jungle, waterfalls, delicious restaurants and many leisure activities. So my recommendation is definitely Koh Phangan - even if there are of course countless picturesque islands in Thailand.

  • Which island in Thailand in October?

    October is the rainy season almost everywhere in Thailand. So, if you want sunshine on vacation, October might not be the ideal month for you to travel to Thailand.

From December onwards, in my opinion, you can slowly orientate yourself a little further north and also head for Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao and in the north Koh Chang. From mid-December the dry season slowly begins in the Gulf. If you don't mind a few heavy showers, you can visit any island at any time.

  • Which are the most beautiful islands in Thailand?

    The best island in Thailand - that is really difficult to say, because it is also a matter of taste. The ranking of my Thailand islands list is of course quite subjective - you might like completely different islands. I have included islands in Thailand in my list that I think are particularly picturesque, heavenly and worth visiting. Most of these travel destinations also appear in many other travelogues among the most beautiful islands in Thailand - so I won't be completely wrong. In my opinion, these are the most beautiful islands in Thailand:

    1. Koh Mook (Koh Muk)
    2. Koh lipe
    3. Koh phangan
    4. Koh kradan

  • Where is the most beautiful place in Phuket?

    The answer to the question "Where is it most beautiful in Phuket?" Is of course not that easy to answer - especially because it is very subjective and a lot a matter of taste. “That depends on your preferences. In the north, vacationers will find peace and quiet with the option of exploring Phang-nga National Park. In the south there is party, shopping or culture like Thalang Road and old mines from the early days of Phuket, ”reports Phuket insider Dirk Idziaszek. During my stay, I get the impression that the southern tip with Cape Krating, Nai Harn Beach and Promphet Cape is one of the most beautiful corners of Phuket. There are relatively small places, upscale hotels and there is actually a lot of untouched nature to discover there. If you want a little more jubilation and hustle and bustle, you are better off in the southwest of the island.

    There are the resorts of Kata, Karon and Patong. The area around Surin Beach is also quite beautiful. This is about halfway up and can be reached a little faster. The region north of the airport is also a real Phuket insider tip. There are eternally long, extensive sandy beaches. In addition, this region is not yet overly frequented and you can actually find your peace there. From there, the entry lane of the airport is a real attraction because the planes approach it just a few meters above the beach - similar to Sint Maarten in the Caribbean.

    All information about the most beautiful places in our travel report.

  • How long to stay in Phuket?

    The question “How long to stay in Phuket?” Also has to be answered very individually: I would plan three to four days for a stay on the beach. During this time you can enjoy the relaxed beach life, some swimming and some water sports like snorkeling and stand up paddling. If you want to take a closer look at the island, you should plan at least five to seven days to go on several tours and have one or the other day at the beach in between.

  • Which islands to visit from Phuket?

    Most vacationers who come to Phuket will sooner or later travel to Koh Phi Phi. That seems to have established itself as an unwritten law. Because obviously this seems to be particularly obvious. I think: a big mistake! Because Koh Phi Phi is an incredibly touristic and built-up island, which in my opinion is not as beautiful as it appears in many pictures. You can certainly take a look at this island to see it, but I wouldn't want to stay there for a long time.

    So the question remains: which islands to visit from Phuket? If you really want to do a nice island tour from Phuket, you actually have two options: Either you do the tour to Koh Lanta, Koh Muk (Koh Mook) down to Koh Lipe (travel report). The second option is to fly from the airport on Phuket to Koh Samui and visit the islands of Koh Samui (travel report), Koh Phangan (travel report) and Koh Tao. If you have the time and inclination, you can also complete both island hopping routes one after the other. The islands mentioned are real dream islands, which in my opinion are all much more beautiful than Koh Phi Phi. 

The most important questions and answers about diving

How expensive is diving as a hobby?

Diving is basically a comparatively expensive hobby. You start by getting your first diving license - the Open Water Diver (OWD). This basic diving course costs between 300 and 500 euros. The following advanced courses such as Advanced Open Water Diver, Rescue Diver, Master Scuba Diver and Divemaster cost between 200 and 800 euros.

Of course, that's not all: You certainly want to buy diving equipment - it costs between 1500 and 3000 euros, depending on whether you are buying new or used. You can also rent the equipment from a diving center, which makes sense especially on a diving holiday. Additional costs arise if you then want to go diving: A diving excursion in Germany with a diving school costs between 50 and 150 euros per day. A full day trip on vacation to a beautiful destination with boat, food and dives can cost between 80 and 250 euros. Not to mention, of course, the vacation - for example in Egypt, the Maldives or Thailand - that you have to book first.

Basically, as always in life: You can spend very different amounts of money, depending on how high your personal budget is. You can spend 500 euros a year for diving or 20.000 euros - both are easily possible.

How dangerous is diving?

There is no general answer to how dangerous diving is. In any case, it is important that you complete well-founded diving training with a large diving association such as SSI, PADI, VDST or iac. Most recreational divers around the world begin their training with SSI or PADI. In your beginner courses you should learn the safety of diving, scuba diving and scuba diving confidently in order to be able to handle the potential dangers of diving.

Secondly, it makes a big difference whether you are a vacation diver who looks at colorful corals and fish at 30 to 50 meters with 28 meters visibility and 2 degrees water temperature or whether you are a technical diver who scuba diving with 8 meters visibility and 70 degrees water temperature and dives into a lake in Central Europe at a depth of XNUMX meters.

Basically, diving is not dangerous, because the risk can be managed very well based on your level of training and your dive planning. When diving, the focus should always be on fun and conservative dive planning that suits your skills. According to statistics on diving, this sport is very safe. According to a survey by the RSTC (Recreational Scuba Training Council), there are only 3 diving accidents for every 100.000 divers.

The current world record was set in 2014 by Ahmed Gamal Gabr. He dived 332,35 meters into the Blue Hole near Dahab on the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt. With this he set the world record for scuba divers. The record is a logistical masterpiece, because divers breathe special gas mixtures at this depth. Gabr had a team of 14 and 94 tanks with her to take care of things. According to experts, it is possible for people to submerge a maximum of 450 meters while scuba diving - but no one has managed that to date. If you get your diving license and start as a hobby diver, you will of course not dive so deep, but only dive into relaxed depths between 10 and 40 meters.

The most important questions and answers about Stand Up Paddling

How healthy is stand up paddling?

I don't like to say whether Stand Up Paddling is really healthy. Exercise is considered healthy and therefore SUP would also be healthy. Stand up paddling is an endurance sport and can therefore have a positive effect on physical fitness. You train almost your whole body when you perform the movements. On the one hand, you have to keep your legs and hips in balance. On the other hand, you need arms, shoulders and back muscles to paddle. After your first tour you will feel muscles that you didn't even know you had before.

Is SUP hard to learn?

SUP is very easy to learn. I taught myself through "learning-by-doing", YouTube videos and advice. But you can also take part in a simple introduction or in a short course. As a beginner you can kneel or sit on the board, almost everyone can do that. As soon as you are familiar with your SUP board, you can try to get up. After a few tries, you will certainly be able to stand on the shelf without any problems - it's all a matter of getting used to. If you can stand on the Sapp, in my estimation it is a matter of minutes to hours.

What does a stand up paddling board cost?

You can get a beginner SUP for as little as 199 euros - you can find mediocre quality for beginner boards from around 299 euros. If you really enjoy stand up paddling, you should perhaps buy an advanced board right away - otherwise you end up buying twice. The models usually cost between 600 and 800 euros. A professional SUP, on the other hand, costs from 1200 euros and up.

How do I find the right SUP?

You want the Stand Up Paddling Board according to your personal preferences. Depending on what you plan to do with the board, you can choose a model. A distinction must be made between the inflatable iSUPs and the solid boards, which cannot be compressed. The iSUP is more practical and is chosen by most of the users. If you don't want to transport your board much, you can also take a firm SUP. Otherwise a distinction is made between the following boards:
- wide beginner board: (ideal for beginners, yoga, lying in the sun)
- wide cruiser board: little distance, just drive around a bit
- Streamlined touring board: for athletes and advanced riders who cover longer distances
- Streamlined racing board: for professionals who really want to use their SUP as a piece of sports equipment - advanced riders can also simply use it as a narrow touring board

How exhausting is stand up paddling?

SUP is basically just as exhausting as you make it to yourself. Stand up paddling can be really exhausting if you start paddling really fast and make a good stretch. The workout is then a real full body workout and especially as a newbie you will feel every muscle in your body afterwards. If you stand on the SUP, paddle 50 meters and then sit in the sun with a can of beer on the board (which you can do quite relaxed), Stand Up Paddling is of course much less strenuous. If you put in a little effort, you can burn around 700 calories an hour. Wind and waves can also make SUP much more strenuous.

What do you wear for stand up paddling?

The right clothing for the SUP depends on the temperature and weather conditions. What you should definitely not do: With jeans, trousers, sweater and thick jacket on the board. Should you fall into the water, these items of clothing soak up extremely full of water and make life unnecessarily difficult. Swimming trunks are sufficient in midsummer. Depending on the air and water temperature, a thin wetsuit and socks should be chosen in spring, autumn and winter. But the most important items of clothing for stand up paddling are different: Always use a leash and a life buoy or life jacket - this is the most important clothing for SUP.

I measured the calorie consumption during stand up paddling with my smartwatch. Depending on the intensity of the workout, I get around 600 to 800 calories per hour.

Is SUP good for your back?

It is difficult to say whether stand up paddling is good for your back. In any case, it works the back, shoulders and arms. Especially after your first workout on the board you will feel a lot of sore muscles. I got used to stretching my back extensively after Stand Up Paddling. Personally, I have the feeling that the combination of back training with SUP and extensive stretching afterwards is good for my back. If you want to know exactly whether SUP is good for your back, you should contact a sports doctor.

How hard is Stand Up Paddle?

As is so often the case, every beginning is difficult. Stand up paddling seems difficult at the very beginning.

But the good news is: you learn stand up paddling very quickly. Most beginners should be safely on the board within a few hours.

How do I use a SUP?
