How Egypt packages work
Egypt's golf for travellers sits on the Red Sea coast around Hurghada, where the resort towns of El Gouna and Somabay have built championship courses next to five star beach hotels. The format that defines the destination is the all inclusive package: flights, transfers, a beachfront resort and a run of rounds bundled into one price, which makes Egypt one of the most complete value plays in winter golf.
The headline course is El Gouna Golf Club, an 18 hole layout designed by Fred Couples and Gene Bates that winds around seawater lagoons on the coast, with Somabay's Cascades course the other anchor. Package figures below are planning guides rather than quotes, since rates move with season and availability, and you should always confirm directly before booking.

The deals worth watching
The Red Sea all inclusive
The signature Egypt deal is the all inclusive Red Sea package, which folds flights, transfers, a beachfront resort and a run of rounds into one number. Seven night, five round trips have been advertised from around 1,509 pounds per person for February and March, which puts a week of championship golf and full board within reach of a long weekend's budget elsewhere. It is the reason Egypt punches above its weight as a winter destination.
El Gouna and Somabay
The two courses to build around are El Gouna Golf Club, the Couples and Bates design that threads between seawater lagoons on the coast, and the Cascades course at Somabay, both kept in good condition year round. El Gouna, about 20 kilometers north of Hurghada, is a polished resort town built across islands and lagoons, and Somabay is the more secluded five star base. Either makes a strong anchor for a value week.
Golf plus the Red Sea
Egypt's hidden lever is everything around the golf. Hurghada and El Gouna sit on some of the best diving and snorkelling water in the world, so a package here suits mixed groups in a way a pure golf coast does not. Bundling a couple of boat trips or dive days between rounds turns a golf week into a broader Red Sea holiday without adding much cost, which is worth weighing when not everyone in the group plays.
Our take
Egypt is the value answer to the winter sun question. The all inclusive Red Sea package delivers championship golf, a five star beach and full board for a price that is hard to match in Europe, and the courses at El Gouna and Somabay are good enough to carry a serious trip rather than just a cheap one.
Our advice is to target the October to April window for warm, low humidity conditions, choose all inclusive if you want the simplest budget and bed and breakfast if you would rather eat out, and add Red Sea days for mixed groups. Our Egypt golf hub, the best golf courses in Egypt list and our Egypt golf holidays page set out the options, and our team can assemble the package and tee times, costed to the head, before you commit.
