Excellent trip
After an initial mix up, the office sent incorrect details to our pick up, Mohammed,and we were off. Approx 4.5 hours later, driving through mountains and villages, we picked up our guide, Alaadin. He took us to various places and was really informative and interesting about the history of Egypt. The trip was tailored to our needs. We weren't interested in shopping. So these places were omitted. We took a trip on the Nile to Banana Island (extra charge). The growing pattern of the banana was interesting. But it was a shame seeing the crocodile and monkeys locked away in those conditions. Lunch was at an all you can eat buffet and was very tasty. All in all, a long day. But very enjoyable. Thanks Mohammed for all the driving and to Alaadin for making history come to life
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your great review and feedback after your amazing Day Trip to Luxor from El Gouna. We are so happy that you had a great experience with us .❤️ We look forward to seeing you again next year with us for more great experiences Best regards, Rana

Personal and WOW
Admin team sent incorrect details to driver. So 30mins later we were on our way. Muhammed. the driver was great. Alaadin, our guide (Archiologist and Egyptologist) was informative, humorous and altered the trip to our needs. There was only the 2 of us on the tour. It was fantastic. Would definitely recommend.
Response from the operator: Dear Darren, Thank you so much for your great review and feedback after your amazing Day Trip to Luxor from El Gouna.

Greatest Tour Ever
Driver Amin and Tour Guide Mahmoud make the perfect pair! We were messaged ahead of time about any personalization we wanted incorporated into our tour. At the time of the message, my partner and I didn’t have anything in mind. The day of the tour comes, and during the tour we mention just minor things we wanted to see/do during the entirety of our Egypt trip. Amin and Mahmoud made the effort to fit these things into our tour. They are both amazing people, very accommodating, kind, and understanding. I would definitely try to book with them again.
Response from the operator: Dear guest, Thank you a bunch for your great review and for spending your valuable time describing your adventure with us. You are always most welcome with our Agency any time. Also for your recommendation, our company Excursies Egypte and the Whole team wish you all the best of luck and we are waiting for your upcoming trip to Egypt (the land of Pharaohs ) with some special offers for you. Wish you all the best wishes

Day Trip to Luxor from El Gouna: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hurghada.
How much does Day Trip to Luxor from El Gouna cost?
+
Prices start at €85 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 Day Trip to Luxor from El Gouna take?
+
Plan for about 15 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 Day Trip to Luxor from El Gouna worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 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 Day Trip to Luxor from El Gouna?
+
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 from El Gouna suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 15-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Day Trip to Luxor from El Gouna?
+
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 15-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Day Trip to Luxor from El Gouna 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.
