Great excursion and super guide!
We were picked up right on time from our hotel by Mohammed and a private chauffeur. On the way to Luxor Mohammed already told us a lot about the history of Luxor (in Dutch!). We went to Karnak, had a tour by horse-carriage through the old part of Luxor, then a boat trip on the Nile, on a private boat, just for the 3 of us! We suggested to have lunch on the boat instead of the restaurant, and in a minute Mohammed arranged it: wonderful service and how relaxed. Then we went to the Valey of Kings and visited 3 graves as planned. We liked to visit the Tutanchamon as well, and that was arranged straight away on the spot. What a wonderful day. Thank you so much Mohammed! Emely

we had an amazing day. We hadden een fantastische dag met Mohamed
I found this group on facebook and started chatting with them in dutch. We where with 8 people and they proposed to have the Luxor tour with a private van. Mohamed then provided me his mobile number and we stayed in contact via whatsapp. In the morning the van was at the hotel with Mohamed and we left on our trip. We visited the Karnak temple, had a carriage ride and a tour on the Nile. Then we had dinner and visited the temple of hatshepsut. The guide was very good in dutch and explained all very well. He always asked us if we where ok and provided us with cold drinks.
Response from the operator: Beste Frank, Bedankt voor je review en je boeking Met ons Hartelijke groeten Ahmed khalil

A private day trip to Luxor from marsa alam with a Specialized Egyptologist: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hurghada.
How much does A private day trip to Luxor from marsa alam with a Specialized Egyptologist cost?
+
Prices start at $206 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hurghada usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does A private day trip to Luxor from marsa alam with a Specialized Egyptologist take?
+
Plan for about 14 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hurghada is not rushed.
Is A private day trip to Luxor from marsa alam with a Specialized Egyptologist worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hurghada, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule A private day trip to Luxor from marsa alam with a Specialized Egyptologist?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is A private day trip to Luxor from marsa alam with a Specialized Egyptologist suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 14-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book A private day trip to Luxor from marsa alam with a Specialized Egyptologist?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hurghada can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hurghada and add a light layer if any part of the 14-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does A private day trip to Luxor from marsa alam with a Specialized Egyptologist start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hurghada within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Hurghada?
+
On Outty we rank every Hurghada experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hurghada Diving Adventure one Day with two Dives Boat Trip, Hurghada to Cairo: Pyramids & Museum for First-Time Visitors, Hurghada Scuba Diving Full Day Boat Trip With Lunch & Transfer. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Hurghada?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Hurghada?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

+
