Mind blowing
Absolutely amazing day. Picked up at 4am from our hotel which is hard work but 100% worth it and driven by minibus to Luxor (worth noting that chilled bottles of water on the minibus where included and very welcome). Picked up our guide Yassin on the way who was incredibly knowledgeable and his grasp of both English and German was second to none, I wish I had his contact details to thank him again. Went off to the Karnak temple where we had a brief history lesson from Yassin and then a tour with time to go off on our own to explore and take photos. Afterwards we where taken for a 30 minute boat trip on the Nile which was fantastic with lunch afterwards at a local restaurant before moving on to the colossus of Memnon and the Tenole of Hapshetsut, again Yassin was on hand with a short but informative history lesson before we went off to explore and finally off to the valley of the kings for a look around 3 tombs. This was an absolutely epic day, not least because of the guide, the driver of the mini bus and the backup of the operator Red Dragon Tours. Things to be aware of; 40 degree heat in the valley of the kings is more intense than you think, dress appropriately and bring extra water. Bring change, the toilet are chargeable everywhere and the locals do not plan on giving you change. There will be people everywhere (and I mean EVERYWHERE) trying to sell you things, a firm no does the trick but be prepared for it. All in all I cannot recommend the trip enough, worth every penny but be prepared.
Response from the operator: Thank you for choosing Red Dragon Tours Egypt. We’re truly happy to hear that you enjoyed your experience with us. Your satisfaction means a lot to our entire team, and we hope to welcome you again on your next visit to Egypt.

WARNING: Financial Fraud - They do not refund cancelled trips
I booked a tour for July 20th, paid on April 12th. The tour was legally cancelled on July 18th and the agency explicitly promised a full refund. It has been 38 days and they refuse to pay. They stopped replying to messages on August 14th. I have already filed a fraud report with the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism (MOTA) and a Mastercard chargeback. Do not trust Red Dragon Tours Hurghada. They steal your money.

Luxor Day Trip – Valley of the Kings & Karnak , Lunch – Hurghada: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Safaga.
How much does Luxor Day Trip – Valley of the Kings & Karnak , Lunch – Hurghada cost?
+
Prices start at $65 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 Luxor Day Trip – Valley of the Kings & Karnak , Lunch – Hurghada 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 Safaga is not rushed.
Is Luxor Day Trip – Valley of the Kings & Karnak , Lunch – Hurghada worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 2 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 Luxor Day Trip – Valley of the Kings & Karnak , Lunch – Hurghada?
+
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 – Valley of the Kings & Karnak , Lunch – Hurghada 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 Luxor Day Trip – Valley of the Kings & Karnak , Lunch – Hurghada?
+
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 15-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Luxor Day Trip – Valley of the Kings & Karnak , Lunch – Hurghada 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 Authentic Hurghada Experience with Private Guide & Local Transfer, Turtles Bay, Swimming with Turtles Hurghada & Marsa ALam, Private Giza Pyramids, Saqqara & Serapeum Tour. 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.
