Luxor is beautiful, execution excursion substandard, review settlement scandalous.
We booked this excursion in May 2026 via Viator and the trip turned out to be carried out by Luxor Egypt Tours. My friend wrote a review on Viator and on Tripadvisor on the 23rd of May 2026. After the reviews she can no longer log in to her Viator account and the accumulated credit balance you get after an excursion is gone. The organizer's response to her review is also incorrect/false. The tour description clearly states that a 5-star hotel is part of this excursion. That is also explicitly asked of the lady in the chat (one Candy) when booking. The description of both days also states that specific restaurants would be visited for lunch (Oriental restaurant on an island in the Nile on day 1 and a Nile view restaurant on day 2). The boat trip is also mentioned at the programna on day 1 and also a visit to the illuminated Luxor temple in the evening. However, we did not get all those parts, as mentioned in our reviews earlier. Moreover, my friend's content review on Tripadvisor is not visible. In short: we put quite a bit of precious holiday time into reviews to help other travellers avoid disappointment. Then it is rather disappointing how that is handled. My partner has a detective agency in which truth finding, reliability and humanity are central, so the final word on this has not yet been said. We attach the photos of review and reaction to Viator.
Response from the operator: are happy to hear that you enjoyed the balloon ride, the temples, and especially the guide service during your trip. However, we would like to clarify a few points regarding your comments. First, the program and booking confirmation never mentioned a 5-star hotel in Luxor. The hotel category was not specified as either 4-star or 5-star in the itinerary or booking details. Second, the itinerary also did not mention that lunch would be served in a restaurant directly on the Nile. Lunches during the excursion were included as standard local meals during the tour program. Regarding the felucca trip, this was an extra activity personally requested and booked by you during the tour, and it was not included in the original excursion package. Concerning the balloon ride, the temporary cancellation was related to operational/government flight approvals, which are outside the control of the company and can change at the last minute for safety reasons. Fortunately, the flights resumed and you were able to enjoy the experience as planned the following morning. We always appreciate constructive feedback and will continue working to improve our services. Thank you again for choosing us for your Luxor experience

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Overnight to Luxor from Marsa Alam with Hot Air Balloon: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Marsa Alam.
How much does Private Overnight to Luxor from Marsa Alam with Hot Air Balloon cost?
+
Prices start at $170 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Marsa Alam usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Overnight to Luxor from Marsa Alam with Hot Air Balloon take?
+
Plan for about 48 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 Marsa Alam is not rushed.
Is Private Overnight to Luxor from Marsa Alam with Hot Air Balloon worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Marsa Alam, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Overnight to Luxor from Marsa Alam with Hot Air Balloon?
+
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 Overnight to Luxor from Marsa Alam with Hot Air Balloon suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Overnight to Luxor from Marsa Alam with Hot Air Balloon?
+
Around 5 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 Marsa Alam 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 Marsa Alam and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Overnight to Luxor from Marsa Alam with Hot Air Balloon 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 Marsa Alam 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 Marsa Alam?
+
On Outty we rank every Marsa Alam experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Luxor Day Trip from Marsa alam (Private), Private Day Trip to Luxor from Marsa Alam and Valley of the Kings, Over Day Tour From Marsa Alam to Luxor. 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 Marsa Alam?
+
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 Marsa Alam?
+
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.
