Alexandria - A great tour if you want to see bit deeper into this wonderful countries soul.
The Egypt Royal Tour driver collected us (Myself, wife and son) from our hotel in Cairo before the sun had crested the pyramids. It was an early start but I was excited as much for the journey as for visiting Alexandria. The journey through the North Egyptian landscape revealed much about the country, passing farms, sugar processing chimneys and many many homes with pigeon towers on their sides. (Who knew pigeon was such a delicacy here... A preferred dish to be served to the Bride and Bridegroom after a wedding). In Alexandra we collected Abdul our guide. An Alexandra native he was able to answer all our questions and give a real flavour of the city. Alexandra is a working city so while you will find beauty when you look for it, (Or when it's pointed out) it is here you will get a real insight into the hard working soul of this country. Driving down the street of mechanics with half cars out front. Down the central square where couples take walks together. The beech where Abdul tells us Alexandrian families flock to in the summer after work for a boat rides to cool off. We visited the Tombs, the Citadel, Pompey's Pillar (Which has the original small library where scrolls were stored in stone shelves) and the new Library. We had a culinary highlight in Alexandra too. Abdul arranged the best table for us at the cities best fish restaurant. It's was Ramadan and he was fasting so unfortunately couldn't join us. The view of the Bay of Alexandra was amazing. The fish was AMAZING. A great tour if you want to see bit deeper into this wonderful countries soul. Thank you Sugar Queen Hala from Egypt Royal Tours for arranging.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your review & we hope to see you again.

Day Trip to Alexandria
Great day! Lots of sites to take in. Heba was great and so was our driver. They were lots of fun. I did feel a bit rushed as I like a bit more time to explore. Heba went above and beyond and even took us to an oil shop that was not part of our itinerary. We had s very enjoyable trip
Response from the operator: Thanks for your review

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Day Tour to Habu Temple, Valley of Nobles, Deir El-Madina: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Private Day Tour to Habu Temple, Valley of Nobles, Deir El-Madina cost?
+
Prices start at $60 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Luxor usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Day Tour to Habu Temple, Valley of Nobles, Deir El-Madina take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Luxor is not rushed.
Is Private Day Tour to Habu Temple, Valley of Nobles, Deir El-Madina worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Luxor, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Day Tour to Habu Temple, Valley of Nobles, Deir El-Madina?
+
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 Private Day Tour to Habu Temple, Valley of Nobles, Deir El-Madina suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Day Tour to Habu Temple, Valley of Nobles, Deir El-Madina?
+
Around 2 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 Luxor 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 Luxor and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Day Tour to Habu Temple, Valley of Nobles, Deir El-Madina 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 Luxor 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 Luxor?
+
On Outty we rank every Luxor experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Half Day Luxor Tour Valley of Kings & Queens, Hatshepsut, Full Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor (Private), Full Day Tour of Luxor private. 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 Luxor?
+
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 Luxor?
+
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.
