Red sea travel vs CanariesHoliday advice: The Canaries are losing out in the Battle with Egypt as a holiday destination.

We are seeing a huge increase in demand for Red sea holidays to Egypt as an alternative to the Canaries:

Holidays to the Red sea resort of Sharm El Sheikh have increased by 146% compared to last year

Latest hot offer Red sea travel deals book a bargain today from just £286.

This rise in popularity has been caused by the Poor Euro exchange plus a significant fall in the cost of holidays to the resort.

With the average selling price for a family holiday dropping by 23.5% from the same period last year, from £2,394 to £1,898 while the price of holidays to Tenerife have risen by 16.2%.

Sterling’s fall to a six-month low of 1.0628 euros to the pound has caused Eurozone destinations such as Spain to lose out. Majorca for example has been knocked off the top spot into fourth place.

“Holiday destinations such as the Canaries will always be popular in October as they offer good weather with relatively short flight times.

“However, there has been a shortage of late deals this year and with the euro still high, families are looking further afield for value for money.

“Resorts such as Sharm El Sheikh also benefit from having a large selection of all-inclusive hotels, so families can budget for their holiday before they travel.”
