    Hot Chiken Soup (Hatchepsut Temple)

    The trip was great and both the drivers were safe drivers (Noah and Mohammed). The Guide was Brilliant too. KArnak Temple was given too much time and can be reduced.

We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed the trip to Luxor and that you felt safe with our drivers, Noah and Mohammed. Your kind words about the guide mean a lot as well, and we will be sure to share your feedback with the whole team. We also appreciate your suggestion regarding the time spent at Karnak Temple.

Thank you again for traveling with us, and we hope to welcome you on another memorable trip in the future. Best regards.

    Luxor day trip from Hurghada

    A really fabulous trip which is definitely worth the many hours of travelling. Egypta Travel were very good on communications leading up to the trip, and answering questions. The minibus turned up 20 minutes late however (and given it was a 04.45 pickup the lateness was annoying!) but the rest of the day more than made up for it, and to be fair, even that early, the company was responding on Whatsapp which was very reassuring. The minibus was functional and there were only 8 of us so we had space….if the bus had been full spending nearly 9 hours in it would have been a challenge. Lets just say “cosy” & if you are very tall think carefully…. The guide (Sherif) was incredibly knowledgeable and made the day super fun as well as interesting/informative. The programme was great & didnt feel rushed. Everything ran smoothly. I definitely recommend this trip - really good fun!!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed and helpful review! 🌟 We’re really happy to hear that your **Luxor day trip** turned into a fabulous and memorable experience, and that the long travel hours were worth it in the end. It’s great to know that our team kept communication clear and reassuring, even at 4:45 AM — though we truly apologize for the late pickup. We understand how frustrating that can feel so early in the morning, and we appreciate your patience. We’re delighted that the small group made the long ride more comfortable, and even happier that **Sherif** made your day fun, smooth, and full of knowledge — he’ll be thrilled to hear your praise! Thank you again for the warm recommendation. We’d love to welcome you back for more adventures anytime you return to Egypt! 🇪🇬✨

    Next time I would book somewhere else

    Pick up was as agreed and tour included everything that was mentioned. I paid online in advance and yet I was asked by 3-4 for drivers/ guides to pay more and had to always fight for my rights. I paid in advance also for Tutankhamen tomb and boat ride, yet I was asked more money for these on site and again fight for my rights. Traffic in Egypt is crazy and we had two close by accident situations. Luckily nothing happened. There's many operators in Hurghada and I would put my money else where.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear that the pick-up and tour met your expectations. However, we deeply regret the issues you faced regarding additional payment requests and the inconvenience this caused you. This is certainly not the experience we aim to provide, and we will take your comments seriously to ensure such situations are addressed. We also understand how stressful traffic can be, and we’re relieved that no accidents occurred. We truly appreciate your feedback and will work hard to improve the experience for future guests. We hope you’ll consider giving us another chance in the future.

    Amazing trip with an amazing tour guide

    Amazing trip and worth every penny. Me and my partner booked this trip and at first were a bit skeptical as we saw some poor reviews elsewhere. But all our expectations were exceeded and this turned out as a highlight of our trip. It was an early start at 04:00 am however driver was on time and supplied drinks and snacks for the journey. We also had stops if needed for the toilet and drinks. Upon arriving we met our tour guide, we are not too sure what her name was but she said to call her GoGo. She was amazing and knew everything about all the different locations. She bought us gifts and snacks for free as well. We booked the option that include both Tuttukamun and the Nile boat ride and reccomend both of the additional activities. If you are visiting Hurghada do not miss out on this amazing trip.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear that your trip exceeded expectations and became a highlight of your journey. It’s wonderful that the early start and the comfort provided, with drinks and snacks, helped make your experience enjoyable. GoGo sounds like an incredible guide, and we’re so happy to hear she made the trip even more special with her knowledge and kindness. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for more unforgettable adventures in the future!

    Hurghada: Luxor, Karnak, Hatshepsut and Valley of the Kings: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hurghada.

    How much does Hurghada: Luxor, Karnak, Hatshepsut and Valley of the Kings cost?

    +

    Prices start at $89 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 Hurghada: Luxor, Karnak, Hatshepsut and Valley of the Kings 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 Hurghada: Luxor, Karnak, Hatshepsut and Valley of the Kings worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 73 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 Hurghada: Luxor, Karnak, Hatshepsut and Valley of the Kings?

    +

    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: Luxor, Karnak, Hatshepsut and Valley of the Kings 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 Hurghada: Luxor, Karnak, Hatshepsut and Valley of the Kings?

    +

    Around 26 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 Hurghada: Luxor, Karnak, Hatshepsut and Valley of the Kings 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.

    What is included in Hurghada: Luxor, Karnak, Hatshepsut and Valley of the Kings?

    +

    Included: Valley of the Kings Entrance Fees; Lunch; Colossi of Memnon; Guide Egyptologist; and Karnak Temple Entrance Fees.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Hurghada: Luxor, Karnak, Hatshepsut and Valley of the Kings?

    +

    Is Hurghada: Luxor, Karnak, Hatshepsut and Valley of the Kings wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
