I am trying to get out to Hurghada in the next few weeks so I can assess to opportunity properly and will decide how and if I am going to proceed once I get back.
Thanks for your advice

if you proceed with the contract that will not prevent you from suing for the original misrepresentation
why i say that you might be better to do this is that if you repudiate then you arguably miss out on the profit you initially gained by locking in the original price
if you continue to get the benefit of the original price but say 'the price i negotiated was on the basis of x, y and z' which you haven't given me therefore i'm entitled to sue in misrepresentation for damages - if you had properly advised me of what i was getting into i either would've gone elsewhere or would have bargained for a cheaper price
