Maldives or Egypt — which should you choose?
Both are sea and sun — but completely different trips. We compare budget, flights, beach, food and who each is for.
Budget
Egypt: 7 nights All Inclusive 4–5★ with flights — 1,200–1,900 GEL per person. Maldives: 7 nights 4–5★ half board with flights and transfers — 3,500–6,000 GEL. A threefold difference.
Flight
Egypt — 3.5 hours direct. Maldives — 7–9 hours with a connection, plus a seaplane or speedboat. With children this matters.
Beach and sea
Maldives — flour-white sand, a lagoon, a house reef straight from the villa. Egypt — reef (Sharm) or sand (Hurghada), excellent visibility, even more fish than the Maldives.
Food and entertainment
Egypt — All Inclusive, entertainment, water parks, excursions. Maldives — silence, nothing outside the island, meals only at the resort. For fun — Egypt; to switch off — Maldives.
Who should choose what
- Families with children — Egypt (Hurghada)
- Honeymoon, anniversary — Maldives
- First beach holiday — Egypt
- "Once in a lifetime" — Maldives
- 5 days in winter — Egypt
