Staying there
A hotel room in Egypt emits about 44.2 kg CO₂e per night under UK Government 2026 factors — a country average per occupied room, not this or any particular hotel. 7 nights in one room adds roughly 309 kg — worth weighing against the 946 kg of one person's flight. Two sharing the room halve that share each; the journey does not halve.
