Super!
Together with my mother and another couple we met in our hotel booked this excursion. We had a great day! Nicely picked up at the hotel by the driver. In Port Safagr our guide Khalil Khalil also boarded. Quietly met and discussed what the program for the day would be exactly. We are allowed to receive a lot of information at all locations and also time to walk around quietly and enjoy all the beauty. Lunch at a restaurant on the Nile was very tasty. It is a long day but definitely recommended to make a holiday in Egypt really complete!

Avoid - unpleasant experience in magical place
1. The tour over promised in terms of time and completely failed to allow any window to the activities marked with « free time ». Arrival was at 10:30 instead of 9:30, return was 10:30 instead of 9 despite of having been picked up 1 hour before schedule (4:00) and returned 1 hour before planned (16:30). 2. The car driver was gentile but you could observe he was absolutely exhausted and this put in danger both our lives. He constantly asked us if he could raise the music volume (to very loud) so that he would not fell asleep; he made constant stops all over the road to go jogging and avoid falling sleep; stopped three times to say hello or hand over thing to friends. 3. The driver was accompanied by an unexpected person on our way there; given the security concerns surrounding Egypt, it was very worrying to be driven in the middle of the dessert for 5 hours in this condition. 4. I understand cultural aspects linked to their religious believes but not providing the service at its optimum because « too tired to do that » is not acceptable. Our tour guide provided us with explanations of 5 minutes maximum. Avoided at all costs to walk next to us and he was running constantly looking for the shade to hide up while any other guides we observed were with their groups explaining in detail all about the surroundings; something we were expecting by the fact of this being a private tour. 5. The tour looked to oversell extra services instead of providing first those listed on the program.

Excellent tour with a fantastic driver and tour guide
Lovely day. No complaints. Driver was on time and a pleasant drive to luxor. We met our tour guide Mr Hanni who elegantly explained the history of Egypt. The tour of the sites was without any disappointment and we had a lovely lunch. Hanni was great and we enjoyed our discussion regarding the history. All my questions were answered and they were a lot! Overall a great experience and worth every penny. Thanks

Well organized & easy contact
On Wednesday 27 March a day excursion made from Marsa Alam to Luxor via Excursions Egypt. Site found by Googling and apped via one of the phone numbers listed there with one of the 2 conctat persons (Muhammad in this case). In easily readable Dutch quick and clear responses to all my questions. The trip itself was a particularly long day, but very rewarding. We were picked up from Marsa Alam at 04:30 at our hotel. A van that would fit up to 14 people for us alone; all day. 2 friendly drivers (Ramadan and Sam) who got us veilg all day where we needed to be. The drive from Marsa Alam to Luxor takes about 5 hours (of which about 20 minutes coffee-stop). Start at the temple of Karnak where our Dutch speaking guide (Muhammad) was already waiting for us. It has to be said; he spoke Dutch better and more clearly than many a Dutchman himself....! Karnak is a beautiful temple where there is much to see. There we had about 1.5 hours to look; longer would certainly not have been a bad thing, but there were more stops that day... After Karnak we crossed the Nile by boat (nice surprise; was not in the program) to go to a restaurant (Africa) for lunch. Very friendly people, excellent food and fantastic views over the Nile and the city of Luxor. Food is included in the price; only drinks must be paid separately. Then towards the Valley of the Kings where you can visit 3 tombs. Which graves you can visit you do not know in advance; there are graves open per rotation and so not all graves can be visited. Important to know: Visiting the tomb of Tutankhamun must be paid for separately (not included in the price of the excursion) and if you want to take pictures (and you want to!!!) then you have to buy a separate ticket for it. That ticket costs 300 Egyptian pounds (approx. € 17,-). Euros are not accepted there (as they are elsewhere in Egypt) and there is no ATM available. So make sure you have cash Egyptian pounds with you! After the Valley towards the temple of Hashepsut where you also have about 45 minutes to look and walk. Transport from entrance to temple with small trains. Finally a short stop (10 min) at the colossi of Memnon after which the guide said goodbye to us again. Then the journey home which due to crowds took around 6 hours (with another coffee stop of about 20 minutes). We were back at our hotel around 21:45. A long day but very rewarding. Especially if you compare the Service Level to the price (€ 115,- pp). Also namely 'aftercare' in the sense of whatsapp messages asking if everything had been good and satisfactory. Absolutely recommended if you don't have huge objections to travel (which this organization of course can't do anything about).

Day tour to Luxor from Marsa Alam: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Marsa Alam.
How much does Day tour to Luxor from Marsa Alam cost?
+
Prices start at $223 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Marsa Alam usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Day tour to Luxor from Marsa Alam take?
+
Plan for about 16 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 Marsa Alam is not rushed.
Is Day tour to Luxor from Marsa Alam worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Marsa Alam, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Day tour to Luxor from Marsa Alam?
+
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 Day tour to Luxor from Marsa Alam suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 16-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Day tour to Luxor from Marsa Alam?
+
Around 2 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 Marsa Alam 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 Marsa Alam and add a light layer if any part of the 16-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Day tour to Luxor from Marsa Alam 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 Marsa Alam 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 Marsa Alam?
+
On Outty we rank every Marsa Alam experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Luxor Day Trip from Marsa alam (Private), Private Day Trip to Luxor from Marsa Alam and Valley of the Kings, Over Day Tour From Marsa Alam to Luxor. 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 Marsa Alam?
+
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 Marsa Alam?
+
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.
