Check what you get with BTE, before going to trip
We found this trip on get your guide. Payed for entrance to TK tomb, but when we arrived the agency insisted that entrance tickets are not included. Get your guide assistant proved that we were right, but we were already on a way back. This was important issue to us, because without entrance tickets we wouldn't chose this trip. Wouldn't recommend this agency. Double check what's included in trip price.

Laila Salah- best guide for your Luxor trip
We went on a private tour from Hurghada to Luxor and had Laila Salah as our guide in Luxor, and it was an absolutely amazing experience. Laila is the best guide ever! Her English is excellent, she is very polite, and she takes wonderful care of her guests from start to finish. She has an impressive knowledge of Egyptian history and explains everything clearly and with great passion. Laila is very well educated, professional, and friendly, which made the whole tour both interesting and comfortable. You will not regret it if you ask for Laila as your guide – we highly recommend her!

Luxor Day Trip from Hurghada & Tutankhamun's Tomb: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hurghada.
How much does Luxor Day Trip from Hurghada & Tutankhamun's Tomb cost?
+
Prices start at $40 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 & Tutankhamun's Tomb take?
+
Plan for about 16 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 & Tutankhamun's Tomb worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 39 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 & Tutankhamun's Tomb?
+
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 & Tutankhamun's Tomb suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 16-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Luxor Day Trip from Hurghada & Tutankhamun's Tomb?
+
Around 14 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 16-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Luxor Day Trip from Hurghada & Tutankhamun's Tomb 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.
