    Wonderful Luxor experience

    This excursion from Hurghada to Luxor with Sam Egypt Tours was a wonderful experience that I can only highly recommend to everyone! The communication ahead of the trip was very professional, friendly and fast. The driver picked me up on time at my hotel and the car was very comfortable. On the way, my guide explained the different cultural sites and customized the itinerary according to my interests, which made it even more special. We visited the Karnak temple, the temple of Ramses III., the colossi of Memnon and the valley of kings. The whole organization was very professional. Tickets were bought in advance (they even included a ticket for Tutankhamun's tomb that you usually have to buy separately). We were able to skip lines and beat crowds. My guide was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. In between we did a lovely boat tour on the Nile and had an Egyptian lunch on the Thebes side. My stomach is usually quite sensitive but I had zero problems and the food was absolutely amazing. In a nutshell: I had a fantastic experience, felt like a VIP the entire trip and recommend discovering Luxor's treasures with this operator (also recommended for women wanting to go on an excursion by themselves)! Thank you, Sam Egypt Tours, for the great time!

    Response from the operator: Hello Ms. Rabea. Thanks so much for this wonderful and detailed review. It was a great pleasure to book Luxor trip with us. We do appreciate to share your experience to everyone in Germany. best regards samegypt tours

    Luxor Private Trip, The best experience and so much knowledge

    My partner and I had an AMAZING experience with Sameypt tours. Our driver and guide were very professional. It's an early morning start (5 am) and a long day, however it is so worth it. I have to say Osama, our guide, is so knowledgable about Egyptian history, and he's passionate about sharing the history. I would highly recommend this private trip to Luxor. Thank you for the experience!

    Response from the operator: Hello. Thank you so much for your review, it was great to be with us. We hope you have enjoyed the trip to Luxor from Hurghada. We look forward to seeing again. Best Regards

    A lifetime memory

    We started our trip to Luxor at 5 am. Our driver and our guide picked us up on right time. We had a four hour driving with one stop to reach our destination in a comfortable vehicle. We arrived among the first ones in the the Valley of the Queens avoiding the crowd.. With my husband, we returned 19 years later after our first trip to Luxor and the place was amazing again! Due to our wonderful guide, Hamada we had a very enjoyable, interesting and tailor-made trip and my big dream, visiting the tomb of Nefertari could be also realised. Hamada vas very knowledgeable and humorous, he made our day. The whole trip was excellent. I can recommend to everyone!

    Response from the operator: Dear Ms.Judit Thanks for the awesome review and this valuable feedback. We are so glad to hear from you. It was such an honor to book your trip with us. We look forward to seeing you again in Egypt. Best Regards

    Luxor Trip Private from Hurghada, Elite Trip: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Luxor Trip Private from Hurghada, Elite Trip cost?

    +

    Prices start at $15 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 Trip Private from Hurghada, Elite Trip take?

    +

    Plan for about 11 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 Trip Private from Hurghada, Elite Trip worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 24 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 Trip Private from Hurghada, Elite 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 Luxor Trip Private from Hurghada, Elite Trip suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Luxor Trip Private from Hurghada, Elite Trip?

    +

    Around 8 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 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Luxor Trip Private from Hurghada, Elite 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.
