    Avoid at all cost!

    Do NOT book! This is my first Negative feedback EVER! We never went on that trip and still waiting for Refund. They sell trips with no available flights. We were told to cancel our booking less than 24hrs before the pick up time (very convenient). That way they get to keep the whole amount that we've paid. When I refuse to do that and ask for full Refund, I was told I have to wait until they investigate our case. Still waiting... We are about to leave Egypt in a couple of hours NEVER to return : (

    BEST TOUR EVER

    I had the best time with my tour guide Laila. She recommended so many other things that I could do that I definitely felt like enhance my experience here. I would 100 percent recommend Ramses the thirds temple the art work and the magnificent buildings were just as great as Karnak temple. Her English is also really good and she’s able to go in debt with all of the knowledge with any questions that you have as you’re driving from place to place. I definitely would recommend her as a guide. If you do book she knows so much about the rich history of Egyptian rulers and also all of the pharaohs this was such an amazing I had the best time and I did it solo. I would also recommend banana island you can see all the amazing monkeys and crocodiles while cruising through the river Nile

    More extensive than Giza

    This trip is superior and Im not suprised many choose to just stay in Luxor. The name itself to an English speaker seems means superior. It is a great city and appropriately priced for food, items you can buy. I rated our day out above the pyramids. We were picked up at 4.25am and arrive by 7am by plane. 40 minutes flight. Our guide Mahmoud was very knowledgeable and took us to Luxor, Karnak, Hatshepsut temples and Tomb of Rameses. We visited Banana Island where we were shown how bedouins live and farm Bananas, Oranges and the like. We had some fruit. Then sailed back to Luxor harbour. During the day we got to know our fellow trippers. I met someone who hopefully will show us their hometown. Its a great way to meet people. Overall great day out. Unfortunately one of our fellow trippers took a bus from Sharm El Sheikh to Cairo after this. Its a 5 hour bus ride. You will not see as much and spend an entirety on the road to Cairo. Luxor is a 12 hour drive through Cairo. Youve been warned. Take a flight and maximize the time on location! Book Tour Egypt have been great on both tours.

    Day trip to Luxor by plane from Sharm el Sheikh: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sharm el Sheikh.

    How much does Day trip to Luxor by plane from Sharm el Sheikh cost?

    +

    Prices start at $423 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sharm el Sheikh usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Day trip to Luxor by plane from Sharm el Sheikh take?

    +

    Plan for about 20 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 Sharm el Sheikh is not rushed.

    Is Day trip to Luxor by plane from Sharm el Sheikh worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 37 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sharm el Sheikh, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Day trip to Luxor by plane from Sharm el Sheikh?

    +

    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 trip to Luxor by plane from Sharm el Sheikh suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 20-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Day trip to Luxor by plane from Sharm el Sheikh?

    +

    Around 13 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 Sharm el Sheikh 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 Sharm el Sheikh and add a light layer if any part of the 20-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Day trip to Luxor by plane from Sharm el Sheikh 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 Sharm el Sheikh within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    +

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 Sharm el Sheikh?

    +

    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 Sharm el Sheikh?

    +

    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.
