Walking around the city with his know how know who and where to go from valley of the kings to mummification museum we seen the lot! This is an absolute must do experience through Hurghada Transfer!

Disappointing
Karnak was amazing and the tour should have assigned much more time to this site. The Valley of the Kings and visiting the tombs was also brilliant. But the tour was let down by a guide that wasn't engaged and wanted simply to deliver what seemed to be his typical information- much less willing to address ad-hoc questions. The tour was also let down by a very dodgy lunch (chicken was pink int he middle) and I'm sure everyone would have preferred to spend a little more and get some decent food. The visit to the stone shop was a complete waste of time with very poor quality products on sale. The visit to Hatshepsut's tomb was amazing from the outside but tomb did did compare to either the Valley of the Kings or Karnak itself. As for the transport- the minibus was too small, hot and dirty- I picked up scabies from the seat meaning that it clearly hadn't been cleaned. In summary- Karnak and the Valley of the Kings were amazing, but the rest was horrible.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. We are truly sorry to read about your experience. However, we believe there may have been some misunderstanding or something unexpected that occurred, as this is not the level of service we are known for, and reviews like this are extremely rare for our company. Best regards, Hurghada Transfer

First class tours and transfers
After having a bad experience in December with Get my Guide to Giza Pyramids and museums I was a bit apprehensive about booking another excursion. I took the plunge and booked with Hurgadha Transfers a trip to Luxor for the day. Being in a wheelchair ♿️ I needed a private trip. Myself, son and 2 friends went and we had a wonderful day. The guide was very intelligent and knew all the history and one of few that could read the inscriptions on the monuments. Ahmed wahed. Osama elsayed I would like to say a big thank you to the guys and to the guide for a wonderful trip to Luxor . The drivers and guide were excellent and I would recommend them to anyone . Thank you very much for our lovely day out . Katy
Response from the operator: First of all, all thanks and appreciation to the Hurghada Transfer team for their respect, warm welcome and providing everything. It was a pleasant trip and unforgettable moments really its atmosphere Safari trip, which I enjoyed during my vacation. I am very pleased and will talk a lot about you to all my friends and I will always continue to recommend you to everyone with me to book and benefit from your programs (excellent prices and wonderful service beyond description). Thank you from the bottom of our heart.

Amazing trips!
Muhamed and his company, Hurghada Transfer are very reliable. He offers trips at reasonable prices. My family and I went on a one day trip to Luxor and a two day trip to Cairo. Everything went very well and we had nice drivers and guides. The trip from Hurghada is quite long so I recommend two days in Cairo. Our guide in Cairo, Mona, was absolutely wonderful she gave us all the time we needed and we could choose what we wanted to see.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Luxor Day Trip from Hurghada: Ancient Wonders & Sites with Lunch!: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hurghada.
How much does Luxor Day Trip from Hurghada: Ancient Wonders & Sites with Lunch! cost?
+
Prices start at $12 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 Luxor Day Trip from Hurghada: Ancient Wonders & Sites with Lunch! take?
+
Plan for about 14 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 Luxor Day Trip from Hurghada: Ancient Wonders & Sites with Lunch! worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 20 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 Luxor Day Trip from Hurghada: Ancient Wonders & Sites with Lunch!?
+
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 Luxor Day Trip from Hurghada: Ancient Wonders & Sites with Lunch! suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 14-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Luxor Day Trip from Hurghada: Ancient Wonders & Sites with Lunch!?
+
Around 7 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 14-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Luxor Day Trip from Hurghada: Ancient Wonders & Sites with Lunch! 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.
