Sipping eggnog poolside or building sandman under the sun?
Egypt, Spain, and Turkey are this year's hotspots for budget-friendly Christmas holidays, as suggested by the online travel platform Check24, based on booked trips and inquiries.
This season, destinations like Hurghada and Safaga (Egypt), Fuerteventura (Spain), and Side and Alanya (Turkey) are trending. It's interesting to note that while package tours for these locales are generally more expensive this year, your wallet won't be hit as hard in Egypt and Fuerteventura. In contrast, Turkey will witness a 12% price hike.
