It is not yet possible to go to Egypt from Russia on a package tour.
But there is nothing easier than buying air tickets and flying inexpensively to the seaside for a week, warming up, sunbathing and swimming in the Red Sea in November.
I have been to Egypt several times, in many cities. Of course, Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh were also on the list.
You can scold Egypt or Turkey as much as you like, but everyone has a different budget, preferences during their vacation, and it’s stupid to think that Egypt or Turkey are
just lying on the beach with a cocktail (although this option is also good!).
Active tourist travelers will easily find something to do in Egypt. Here you can ride ATVs in the desert with Bedouins, snorkel near coral reefs, or organize a diving tour. In November and December, Egypt is inexpensive and you can swim in the sea.

In Thailand, especially if your budget is limited, there is no point in booking an expensive hotel room.
There is plenty to do here: active travelers will do a lot of walking, driving, sightseeing, and those who like the sun, sea and swimming pool will also benefit from it. In general, Thailand is not a country where there is nothing to do except sit in your room.
In Thailand you can have an inexpensive holiday in both Pattaya and Phuket. The pros and cons of both resorts can be discussed for a long time, but in short: Pattaya is better with excursions, transport, movement, and in Phukta the beaches are cleaner.
On short term It is cheaper to buy a tour to Thailand than to organize a trip yourself.

Traveling to Europe was already an expensive pleasure, and given the new economic conditions, vacations in the main European capitals have become an almost unaffordable luxury.
Fortunately, in addition to expensive London, Paris and Rome, there are cheaper European cities, so there is still an opportunity to see Europe without going broke, you just need to carefully plan your trip and choose a direction. To make things easier for you, we've put together a list of 10 interesting and inexpensive cities in Europe where a weekend won't leave a hole in your budget.
1. Krakow
It is surprising that Krakow, one of the most beautiful and at the same time the cheapest cities in Europe, has not yet been appreciated by tourists. Krakow was the capital of Poland until the end of the 16th century, but even after losing this status it always remained the main cultural and scientific center of the country. Fortunately, unlike Warsaw, the city was practically not damaged during World War II, so many ancient buildings have been preserved here (there are thirty-nine churches alone), the medieval Jagiellonian University and the huge the Royal Castle 13th century.
2. Budapest
Despite the fact that the popularity of the Hungarian capital has grown greatly in recent years, prices here still remain relatively low. If you choose a hotel not in the very center and use public transport, you can enjoy views of the Danube and classical architecture while staying within a modest budget. Be sure to visit one of Budapest's famous thermal baths, cross the river on the Chain Bridge and stroll through the Buda Castle and Fisherman's Bastion.
3. Lisbon
Even by European standards, there are a lot of attractions in Lisbon and its surroundings - castles, palaces and basilicas, and the decent cost of air travel to the Portuguese capital is more than offset by cheap hotels, restaurants and shops. If you plan to move around the city a lot by public transport or use the funiculars (including the famous city elevator of Santa Justa), be sure to buy a Viva Viagem travel system, this will allow you to save additional money.
4. Prague
Prague has won the love of tourists from all over the world thanks to two factors: cheap Czech pubs and a beautiful historical center. In terms of attractiveness and richness of cultural monuments, Prague is hardly inferior to the main Western European capitals, and a trip here will cost you much less than to Paris or Amsterdam. The only negative is that there are a lot of tourists in Prague during the high season, so choose the less popular months, since this city is beautiful at any time of the year.
5. Istanbul
One of the oldest cities in the world, Istanbul is considered a must-visit destination for every history buff. Mosques, bazaars and amazing views of the Bosphorus Strait will not leave indifferent even the most experienced travelers. Today Istanbul captivates not only the rich cultural heritage, but also low prices which, alas, fall in inverse proportion to the level of security in the city.
6. Athens
Athens is an ideal city for a weekend - there are enough attractions here for just two days of leisurely exploration. You should set aside one full day to explore the Parthenon and the Acropolis, you will need at least half a day to visit the luxurious archaeological museum of Athens, and if you still have time, check out the Monastiraki area - see the mosque and wander around the market. Despite the fact that Athens is one of the most expensive cities on our list, by European standards it is still a very cheap place, especially if you go there out of season, but in late autumn or even winter.
7. Split
Split is a less touristy copy of Dubrovnik: the same red roofs, white walls and views of the bay. The city is much cheaper and is located in Dalmatia, which is famous for its excellent beaches, so you can combine a visit to Split with a beach holiday nearby. Split, of course, does not have a grand city wall like Dubrovnik, but it does have the ancient Roman palace of Emperor Diocletian, which is considered the best-preserved Roman-era palace in the world.
8. Berlin
Despite the fact that Berlin is the capital of one of the richest countries in the eurozone, prices here remain relatively low. Of course, compared to the cities of Eastern Europe, the cost of a night in hotels and hostels in Berlin is not so attractive, but due to the popularity of the destination and the large number of flights, tickets to Berlin can be purchased quite inexpensively (especially if you take care of purchasing a few months before the trip).
9. Riga
If you have not yet been to Riga, try to correct this annoying mistake as soon as possible - after the transition to the euro, prices in this city are constantly rising. The historical center of Riga fully corresponds to the concept of a classic European city - open cafes, pretty squares, surrounded by ancient buildings with tiled roofs, paved sidewalks. Well, the advantages of a holiday in Riga for Russians are obvious: geographical proximity and the absence of a language barrier.
10. Ljubljana
Gradually, from a place that no one can find on the map, Ljubljana is turning into one of the most popular cities in Europe. It has everything you need for a classic European weekend: beautiful historical Center, good restaurants, architectural monuments, including a large, perfectly preserved medieval castle. We strongly recommend going to the capital of Slovenia before it begins to attract crowds of tourists and hotel prices do not jump to the average European level.
So, November holidays It’s already around the corner, and you don’t know where to go. Although it is worth preparing and buying tickets in advance, when prices are not yet too high. We all know that the cost of air travel increases significantly when traveling during peak holiday periods. In November, Russians rest for 3 days (November 4, 5 and 6). Many people want to change their surroundings and diversify their leisure time. You can arrange a short excursion outside the city or along the Golden Ring if you live in Moscow, or get out to a more Big City, visiting, for example, St. Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod, etc. (who hasn’t been anywhere yet).
If your boss is loyal or you are your own boss, then there is the opportunity to increase your rest by taking another day or two at your own expense, then you will get a mini-vacation!) And in this case, the geography of flights will expand significantly.
Today I will offer several ideas for November holidays. We will not dwell on the cities of Russia, since you can always choose any weekend and visit this or that town, but we will focus on an average of 4 days of vacation
November holidays WITHOUT VISA for Russians
Personally, I would prefer to visit one of former republics USSR, so these are the countries that will be in the TOP. I have been to some, but most have not yet:

I love the sea at any time of the year, even in the off-season. This has a special charm and its own romance)) The main thing is that it doesn’t rain! BUT the weather is, as you know, unpredictable.
And by the way, Pobeda flies to Tivat from Moscow. I tried this low-cost airline in the summer and liked it.
