Do you want to travel to Turkey for a vacation but before you commit you want to know how much it will cost you? Let us help you with that. 

In this article we will explore how much a trip to turkey can cost you & also help you have the most fun for the least expense while taking advantage of the recent drop of the Turkish Lira.

Visa and security clearance

You can get your visa from the embassy affiliated office MZ located in Dokki. The visa costs around $125 and processing can take up to 3 weeks. If you have a U.S. or European visa that is current you can apply online and it will cost you $30 with a much shorter processing time. 

Next step is to acquire your security clearance from Abbasiya.

Flights and accommodation

To get the best ticket prices to Turkey you should travel from Hurghada airport not Cairo International Airport. Even better would be to travel via a Turkish airline such as Pegasus airlines. Average ticket cost will be anywhere between 2800 EGP to 3200 EGP. As for accommodation it depends on the hotel you choose and its location relative to Taksim square. The closer you are to Taksim square the more expensive the hotel will be. The cheapest hotel room can be as cheap as $30 per night while some of the most expensive hotels such as The Intercontinental Hotel can be as expensive as $200 per night.

Tours

The most popular day tours are to Bursa and Sapanca cities. Each trip costs around $150 Lira including a lunch of sumptuous grills.
