    Extraordinary experience

    It was simply great and perfect from the first to the last minute. Mohamed was flexible and helpful in the planning and at the day itself. We had an extraordinary day in Luxor and on the Nil. As it was such a great experience and perfect organisation that we had asked Mohamed if he can organize us a day in Cairo as well, which was not planned by us originally, and ehich had to happen within two days due to our return flight. And he made it happen!!! We had the same perfect organization and extraordinary expierence in Cairo as well. A big big THANK YOU to Mohamed who made this holiday unforgettable. We can only recommend booking with him. Not a single second of regrets for both days!

    Amazing Luxor Visit

    Great private cultural experience with Mohamed and his team, properly organised & structured, adaptive to customers needs and highly knowledgeable in the Egyptian history. Mohamed takes time to explain you rightly the needed details. Thanks to Mohamed and his team for their professionalism and hospitality.

    Amazing trip with V.I.P. treatment.

    Anyone that goes to Egypt should do this trip and book with this company. We had the most amazing time our driver was a gentleman called Mohammed Fouad and our tour guide was a gentleman called Mohammed Zidane they was so friendly and helpful. Our tour guide was a qualified archeologist and explained about Egypt's past and hieroglyphics and lots of interesting things. They made our trip perfect. The monuments are so amazing, television doesn't do them justice.

    Fantastic Experience

    Our drivers (Ashraf and Ashraf) picked us up promptly from our hotel in our private, air-conditioned minibus. The five-hour drive to Luxor was comfortable and the driver checked in to ask whether we needed rest breaks. We collected our tour guide (Mohamed) and proceeded to Karnak Temple, our guide discussing historical facts as we travelled. Our guide led us through the entry process and ensured we were not bothered by any unsolicited sellers, escorted us around the temple, explaining key features to look out for, and then gave us free time to take photographs of this jaw-dropping structure. Wow! We enjoyed a gorgeous lunch on the River Nile - expertly timed to pick up from a riverside restaurant where staff handed over trays of piping hot, delicious food onto the boat. Our guide served the food most courteously, truly making us feel like VIPs. We then proceeded to the Colossi of Memnon, which are certainly a sight to behold - and colossal! Again, lots of time to take photographs before proceeding to the star of the day - Valley of the Kings. Again, Mohamed expertly guided us through the entry process and explained our options re: which tombs to visit. Three tombs are included with your admission (you choose) and others are available at an extra cost (we chose Tutankhamen and Seti.) Guides are not permitted to escort you into the tombs, so Mohamed guided us to each one, explaining what to look for before we entered. His key advice was valuable - "don't hand your phone to anyone and don't follow anyone". We saw many tourists conned into handing over money to seemingly well-meaning people who appeared to work there! I don't understand how this is allowed to happen at such sites! Suffice to say, the tombs were breathtaking, with the exception of Tutankhamen's unfinished resting place. However, his mummified remains are now back where they belong, so that was worth the extra fee. Overall, this was a long but fantastic day which took us several days to digest as there were so many 'wow' moments. Mohamed was such a thoughtful guide - knowledgeable, charismatic, helpful, patient, security guard... he even brought small notes anticipating we may not have the necessary small bills to pay 20 EGP to use the toilets! First class all-round and highly recommended, despite the ten-hour round trip from Hurghada!

    Fabulous experience

    This was one of the best experiences ever. Picked up in private air conditioned car. Driver very friendly. Drove to Luxor with rest break en route. Picked up guide, Noha, who escorted us for the day. Visited Valley of the Kings, temple of Hatshepsut, lunch on the Nile and temple of Karnak. Amazing day. Special thanks to Noha who was a fabulous guide. Very friendly and knowledgeable.

    Luxor VIP | King's Valley & Karnak Tour | Private | From Hurghada: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Luxor VIP | King's Valley & Karnak Tour | Private | From Hurghada cost?

    +

    Prices start at $35 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 VIP | King's Valley & Karnak Tour | Private | From Hurghada 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 VIP | King's Valley & Karnak Tour | Private | From Hurghada worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 94 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 VIP | King's Valley & Karnak Tour | Private | From 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 VIP | King's Valley & Karnak Tour | Private | From Hurghada 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 VIP | King's Valley & Karnak Tour | Private | From Hurghada?

    +

    Around 33 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 VIP | King's Valley & Karnak Tour | Private | From 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 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.
