Thank you Nakhra
Our guide was Nakhra , and our driver was Ahmed Abu Ali. Both of them were very attentive, polite, and friendly. Nakhra’s knowledge of ancient Egypt was excellent. He patiently explained everything to us and gave us very smart recommendations to ensure we had a great tour. By the end of the two days, we had gained enough knowledge to even comment on ancient Egypt. Additionally, since we had registered for the tour as only two people, it felt like a private tour for us; we weren’t merged with other tours or groups. Overall, we were very satisfied with the tour. Thank you!
Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you for your wonderful review and for sharing your experience with us. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your two-day Luxor tour and that both Nakhra and Ahmed Abu Ali helped make your journey so memorable. Your kind words about Nakhra’s knowledge, patience, and thoughtful recommendations mean a great deal to us, and we will be sure to pass along your compliments to both him and Ahmed. It is especially rewarding to know that the tour not only allowed you to explore Egypt’s incredible monuments but also gave you a deeper understanding of ancient Egyptian history. Creating enriching and personalized experiences is exactly what we strive for. We are also pleased that you appreciated the private and comfortable nature of your tour. We believe every guest deserves individual attention and a seamless travel experience. Thank you for choosing Monarch Vacations. It was our pleasure to host you, and we hope to welcome you back to Egypt for another unforgettable adventure in the future. Warm regards, The Monarch Vacations Team

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Hurghada:2-Day Luxor Tour with Hot Air Balloon and sail boat: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Safaga.
How much does Hurghada:2-Day Luxor Tour with Hot Air Balloon and sail boat cost?
+
Prices start at $580 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Safaga usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Hurghada:2-Day Luxor Tour with Hot Air Balloon and sail boat take?
+
Plan for about 48 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 Safaga is not rushed.
Is Hurghada:2-Day Luxor Tour with Hot Air Balloon and sail boat worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 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 Safaga, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Hurghada:2-Day Luxor Tour with Hot Air Balloon and sail boat?
+
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 Hurghada:2-Day Luxor Tour with Hot Air Balloon and sail boat suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Hurghada:2-Day Luxor Tour with Hot Air Balloon and sail boat?
+
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 Safaga 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 Safaga and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hurghada:2-Day Luxor Tour with Hot Air Balloon and sail boat 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 Safaga 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 Safaga?
+
On Outty we rank every Safaga experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Orange Bay Giftun Island Snorkeling Cruise With Lunch – Hurghada, Full day trip to Luxor with littel Group & Tutankhamun Tomb, Hurghada Airport Private Transfer to and from All Hotels. 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 Safaga?
+
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 Safaga?
+
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.
What is included in Hurghada:2-Day Luxor Tour with Hot Air Balloon and sail boat?
+
Included: Sunrise hot air balloon ride ( Choose The Option from Inside ); Hotel pickup and drop-off; Accommodation at a 4-star hotel with breakfast in Luxor; Felucca Ride; and Air-conditioned vehicle. Not included: Tour Guide Tips; Drivers Tips; and Drinks during Meals. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Hurghada:2-Day Luxor Tour with Hot Air Balloon and sail boat include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 36 listed pickup locations in and around Safaga. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Hurghada:2-Day Luxor Tour with Hot Air Balloon and sail boat offered in?
+
