Grandiose
Majestic we can't not go see Luxor. The Temples, the valleys of the kings, the Nile. Not to miss. Cap and sunscreen....it's very hot.

I would not advise it
A day indeed never to forget... At 4 o'clock, we were picked up by 2 drivers who unfortunately didn't speak a word of English. So, it was not possible to communicate in any way. When we asked how long the journey would take, we didn't receive an answer. After 3.5 hours, we made the first stop, and with the intervention of someone else, we were able to ask how long the trip would take. It turned out to be over 6 hours. That means sitting in a taxi with two drivers for 12 hours without any conversation. Apparently, the government has closed a shorter route, but this information is not mentioned on their website, and you are not informed about it either. So, the total trip is about 20 hours, with approximately 12 hours in the taxi. We decided to stop halfway because the prospect of spending 12 hours in a taxi without any form of communication was definitely not worth it for us
Response from the operator: First of all, we Gotoegypttours would like to thank you for writing your review on our page on TripAdvisor and viator. Secondly, Mr. Edwin you have decided yourself to book this tour with us through viator, so you know all the details about the tour before doing it. It's mentioned in the details that your pick up time will be at 4 am. Plus our Gotoegypttours representative had contacted with you one week before your arrival to Egypt, confirming that everything is ready and we are up to do this tour for you. Our representative asked you if you need anything and gave you his WhatsApp number to communicate with in case of problem or emergency. The evidence of what I say is that our Gotoegypttours representative asked you to send him copies of your passport to prepare the security permission for the journey from Marsa Alam to luxor and the way back. You gently sent them to him. Thirdly, you mentioned that you were picked up by two drivers and you wonder why especially two drivers. These are the security procedures here in Egypt during long tours. These procedures that we should follow and respect. These procedures that make us obliged to use the long road but safe and under the full control of the Egyptian police, I mean check points on the way to luxor. Fourthly, you say that both drivers can not speak English. It's not logic. How come? In case you have one driver, you may say that. But it's not fair. We deal with drivers who speak English. Fifthly, you mentioned that you had not received any answer about the duration of the journey. It's not true, again I repeat our Gotoegypttours representative gave you the details before you start the tour. Sixthly, you mentioned the first stop. That's right after 3 or 3 and half hours. The tourists stop at a coffee shop where there are clean restrooms in case they need. At the same time, we were informed that both our Gotoegypttours representative and guide had contacted with you via the driver's cell phone. So you asked them about the duration of the journey and they kindly answered your questions. Then you suddenly decided to come back to Marsa Alam. This means you have made the decision yourself coming back to your hotel in Marsa Alam and not to complete your journey to luxor where your tour, supposed to start. This is not our fault nor decision. It's yours. We prepared everything for you to spend nice time in luxor. Our deal with viator is to do tours for tourists and to do our best and we respect, keep our word with viator. Seventhly, you mentioned (it turned out to be over 6 hours). It is because you ordered the drivers to drive you back to Marsa Alam. This means that you had talked to the driver in English and he understood you. So he speaks and understands English, unlike what you had written or mentioned in the beginning of your review. Then you wrote (12 hours in the taxi) tell me how come? The journey from Marsa Alam to luxor is about 5 hours, and 5 hours from luxor to Marsa Alam on the way back. This means 10 hours not 12 hours. I think you exaggerate you just want to criticize us and our services. Finally, it's not the first time to handle and arrange this tour. We have done it before twice, and you can revise or read the good and logic reviews written by the tourists from different countries. We accept logic criticism that helps us improve our services and satisfy our tourists. But we don't accept criticism for criticism.

A cultural visit worth a visit.
A long day from Marsa Alam but it is definitely worth it. Departure at 3:30 am return at 9 pm. But what archaeological beauties.
Response from the operator: Merci beaucoup pour votre commentaire. Nous sommes toujours à votre service.

Day Tour To Luxor From Marsa Alam private by car: 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 private by car cost?
+
Prices start at $330 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 private by car take?
+
Plan for about 7.3 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 private by car worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 6 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 private by car?
+
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 private by car suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7.3-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 private by car?
+
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 7.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Day Tour To Luxor From Marsa Alam private by car 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.
