FI met a friendly guide and guide. I looked at some beautiful mosques and an ornate Orthodox church. After the market visit it went and the altitude. From a vantage point you had a great view of the city. The offer was very good value for money.

if you want to learn hints and to hang out like a local...
-Muhamad and the driver were so kind and knowledgeable. Great time with them, our new Egypt brotherhood, from Luxor. -Many local feeling and secret places. -Enough time at the locations and good order of activities. -No push to buy anything just help and good offers, suggestions. -Good discussions and nice places. -The shopkeeper Hassan and the other who sold the scarf for real good price are both awsome and funny. Hopefully their heart is still not broken and will run their business still for a long-long time! -I hope they will try the Hungarian Luxor game once around there.

Tour of Sharm el Sheikh, great experience!
We had a great experience with Mohammed. He was friendly, punctual, knowledgeable and extremely professional at all times. We were completely at ease in his company and felt very safe driving with him around the city. He took us to three different areas and provided us with lots of detailed history about Sharm el Sheikh. It is clear that customer satisfaction is a priority for Mohammed. We would not hesitate to recommend his service.

Sharm El Sheikh City Sightseeing Tour private Guided: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sharm el Sheikh.
How much does Sharm El Sheikh City Sightseeing Tour private Guided cost?
+
Prices start at $20 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sharm el Sheikh usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Sharm El Sheikh City Sightseeing Tour private Guided take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Sharm el Sheikh is not rushed.
Is Sharm El Sheikh City Sightseeing Tour private Guided worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sharm el Sheikh, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Sharm El Sheikh City Sightseeing Tour private Guided?
+
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 Sharm El Sheikh City Sightseeing Tour private Guided suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sharm El Sheikh City Sightseeing Tour private Guided?
+
Around 4 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 Sharm el Sheikh 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 Sharm el Sheikh and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sharm El Sheikh City Sightseeing Tour private Guided 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 Sharm el Sheikh 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 Sharm el Sheikh?
+
On Outty we rank every Sharm el Sheikh experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sharm El Sheikh: Ras Mohammed Snorkeling, Allah Gate & Top Sights, ATV Quad Bike & Camel Ride, Echo Mountain – Sharm El Sheikh, Sharm : Cairo Excursion by Flight, Pyramid GEM or Ancient Museum. 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 Sharm el Sheikh?
+
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 Sharm el Sheikh?
+
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.
