    Amazing and long day in Luxor

    Nana was an amazing guide! So friendly and knowledgeable, she gave us all the information and made it so easy to understand. We were picked up at 3 am and it was a very long and hot day. But definitely worth!

    Great Guide! Small bus.

    Booked direct with FTS via WhatsApp. Communication was pretty good to get prices and availability. We had a small bus tour, we had 10 people in our group which was a nice number. To start, the best bit.... Nana, our local guide. A wonderfully engaging guide who told stories with gusto and a true passion for the history and people in it. If you get Nana, you will thoroughly enjoy Luxor and the Valley of the Kings! We happened to have 1st pick up from our hotel, so it was an early start at 3am, it was then 1.5 hrs before we had everyone on board and actually started the journey to Luxor from Hurghada. We didn't wait too long at the state checkpoint. The bus however, was older and small and very cramped. I'm not tall and my knees were pressed against the hard seat in front. Seats were fixed in a semi-recline which was also uncomfortable to just sit up. This was the worst part of the trip (but also accounts for a big part of the day with the 5-7 hrs on board for the main journeys with stops/pickups). The drivers could be a little more informative with information about journey times/stops/checkpoints so you know what to expect and when you are likely to have a toilet break. Final point to note - just be honest with the tour description! We had 2 separate stops to "nice toilets". Both of which are tourist shop traps - a spice store and an alabaster store. While we had plenty of time during our whole day and didn't feel too rushed, over 30mins at these eat into your day. Just tell it like it is. The Nile boat is mentioned as optional at €10pp. We did not feel pressured into this, but was a nice change to the cramped bus. Some of our party did not take the boat but stayed on the bus to get to the lunch stop. Lunch was adequate, small buffet offering. Toilets here weren't the best. Key takeaways: - Fingers crossed you get Nana as your guide (in photo) - Be prepared for a cramped bus - Expect to be taken to tourist shops - As everywhere in Egypt, toilets are hit and miss, always carry wipes/toilet roll and small notes (usually 20le) to use the loo. (Again might have been helpful for drivers to tell you this before getting off bus at the services.)

    Response from the operator: We’re delighted to hear that you had such a great experience and truly appreciate your recommendation. It means a lot to us to know that everything, including our staff, met your expectations .We hope to welcome you again in the future

    Hurghada: Luxor Valley of the Kings & Tutankhamun Tomb Trip: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Hurghada: Luxor Valley of the Kings & Tutankhamun Tomb Trip cost?

    +

    Prices start at $30 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 Valley of the Kings & Tutankhamun Tomb Trip 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 Valley of the Kings & Tutankhamun Tomb Trip worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 90 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 4,023 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Hurghada, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Hurghada: Luxor Valley of the Kings & Tutankhamun Tomb Trip?

    +

    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 Valley of the Kings & Tutankhamun Tomb Trip 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 Valley of the Kings & Tutankhamun Tomb Trip?

    +

    Around 1,408 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 Valley of the Kings & Tutankhamun Tomb Trip 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.
