Port Safaga to Valley of the Kings
We were at Safaga Port and it was great to see our pick up was there and waiting for us. They transferred us to our guide, we were a little unsure of who our guide/ drivers were at pickup and what was happening due to little explanation- however once we reached our destination we were greeted by our guide and rushed off to see everything quickly to avoid crowds. A great day and amazing experience!

Disappointing experience
We have had good experiences using Viator in the past but this shore excursion wasn't up to the standards we expected. My husband and I and another couple were picked up at the port by a driver and another man in a van for a tour in Luxor. We assumed the other person in the van was the tour guide. After about 2 hrs riding in the van, the driver stopped and the person who we thought was the tour guide was dropped off. No explanation was given and the driver proceeded on. When we arrived outside the entry gates at the Temple of Karnak, the van stopped and a woman and man approached. The woman said she would be taking my husband and I on the day's tour and the other couple in the van would continue on with the man as their tour guide. We left the van and waited for a car to pick us up. The first stop was the Temple of Karnak. Our guide, Neba, was very difficult to understand as she had a strong accent and spoke fast. She didn't seem pleased about answering our questions. When she explained historical aspects of the sites, it sounded as though she was reading from a memorized script. During the tour, there was pressure put on us to buy things from vendors Neba knew. One was a papyrus shop where artwork was painted on papyrus and the other was an alabaster shop. Also, we were pressured into taking a boat ride across the Nile for an extra charge. After a couple of hours riding from place to place, we were finally given a bottle of water. Neba spent most of the day talking on the phone. When the tour ended, we were reunited with the other couple that we started the day with. Also, the other man we had dropped off earlier in the day appeared and joined us for the ride back to the ship. He coughed the entire way back. Overall we felt like an inconvenience and it seemed like we did a self guided tour since we could barely understand our guide.

Amazing!!!!
After a slight bit of confusion as to where to meet our driver, Our guide, Marwa, was incredibly knowledgeable and took very good care of us. We saw everything possible to see in Luxor.

Luxor Private Viator Tour = Good Value
Amazing Tour = Good Value. We were on a Cruise and the only way to see Luxor (as the cruise port was hours away), was booking a cruise. Better value to book Viator than through the Ship, as Cruise Ships prices are much higher, for similar Tours, so we always try to book private when possible. In hindsight, wish we would have been allowed to shop at Luxor Vendors Market for an hour however, the Tour Guide did not allow it - he preferred to only allow 15-20 minutes at one pre-arranged washroom/coffee/Market stop and 30-45 minutes at another pre-arranged washroom/coffee/Alabaster Shop. It was clear he received commission from sales generated per bus stop, as he warned to not be stopped by Luxor vendors, as it would ‘eat up’ time away from our Tour Day, limiting time spent at designated Tour stops. Had we known this in advance, since there were only 6 of us, we could have all agreed we need 30 minutes to shop for souvenirs at each Luxor site. The Lunch Food Stop was awful, as agreed by all of us & others from our Ship who stopped at the same Lunch Trough Spot on other Tours the same Day. Tasteless (everything), unsanitary and it’s simply a means to an end in offering something to eat. You won’t starve however, you might wish to bring your own Food along that day (10 hour day). My favourite part of the day was seeing/driving through all of the roadside communities along the way to & from Luxor. Also the Valley of the Kings site was amazing to experience in person, as the history & artifacts are incredibly surreal. Aside from that (which all Tour Guides do), our guide “Mahmoud Nafee” was very good however, he speaks too fast to catch everything he says and should slow down, as there is no headphone system (or microphone) for a 6 person Tour and the air conditioned bus was perfectly comfortable. Still better cost value than booking this Tour through the Cruise Ship, which all of us agreed. Save your hard earned dollars for shopping!

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Shore Excursion - Luxor one day tour from Safaga Port: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Safaga.
How much does Shore Excursion - Luxor one day tour from Safaga Port cost?
+
Prices start at $80 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Safaga usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Shore Excursion - Luxor one day tour from Safaga Port take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Safaga is not rushed.
Is Shore Excursion - Luxor one day tour from Safaga Port worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Safaga, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Shore Excursion - Luxor one day tour from Safaga Port?
+
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 Shore Excursion - Luxor one day tour from Safaga Port suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Shore Excursion - Luxor one day tour from Safaga Port?
+
Around 3 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 Safaga 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 Safaga and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Shore Excursion - Luxor one day tour from Safaga Port 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 Safaga 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 Safaga?
+
On Outty we rank every Safaga experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Horse Riding & Camel Beach,Desert, Swim,Sunrise & Sunset-Hurghada, Dolphin House Full Day Snorkeling Cruise With Lunch – Hurghada, Orange Bay Giftun Island Snorkeling Cruise With Lunch – Hurghada. 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 Safaga?
+
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 Safaga?
+
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.
