    Fabulous last-minute tour!

    Excellent organization and support for my last-minute trip from Marsa Alam > Aswan > Luxor! I had limited time, but they included all of the places I most wanted to visit, including Abu Simbel and Nubia Village, and an evening light show (highly recommended) at Philae Temple, among others. Amr was an excellent tour guide who made sure each part of the trip was memorable. He has a vast knowledge of the history and culture of the area and was able to communicate it to me in a very engaging way. Amr and our excellent driver Asem were punctual and organized when we needed to be at a specific place on time, but also flexible and creative when I needed a break- they would find a perfect place to stop for coffee, lemonade, to snack on local foods, or to linger at a favorite stop. Behind the scenes, Ahmed was not only able to change my flight from Marsa Alam to Luxor so that I could make this side-trip happen but also arranged a COVID PCR test for me in Luxor, allowing me to enjoy more of my time in Egypt. I hope to be able to travel with them again soon and recommend Marsa Alam tours without hesitation.

    Response from the operator: Dear joy-of-tr4vel Thank you for your great review of Marsa Alam Tours and your booking Private trips with us . We are happy to know that you were satisfied with our services and our team. Again thanks a lot for recommending our company best wishes

    Unforgettable journey in search of the temple of Ramses II

    We stayed a week at a property in Marsa Alam. We relied on this agency for a beautiful 2-day tour, which was not proposed by the village. The trip is challenging as the road to Aswan, where the guide awaited us, is sometimes ruined then very busy with several checkpoints. We visited the dam the temple of File and a tour of the real Egyptian bazaars. After sleeping in a beautiful hotel in Aswan we reached the temple of Ramses II in Abu Simbel which repaid us for every effort. Special mention for the driver Asem very professional and kind for a decidedly not easy journey. The next time I return to Egypt I will certainly rely on Marsa Alam Tours for their seriousness and professionalism. Recommended! By Marco and Gabriella.

    Response from the operator: Cara Gabriella, Grazie mille per la prenotazione (due giorni di viaggio ad Assuan e Abu semplice da Marsa Alam con Marsa Alam tours Siamo felici di leggere la tua recensione

    AMAZING!!!

    Depart from Marsa alam early in the morning, day dedicated to the visit of luxor, with view of 3 tombs to the valley of the kings + Seti I (optional but I recommend being the most beautiful of all), visit to the temple of the queen, visit to the fabulous temple of karnak, lunch and move to aswan. Day 2 begins early in the morning again for the visit to Abu Simbel and then return to Aswan for the visit to the philae temple and lunch in a typical restaurant before returning to marsa alam!! I state that the trip is challenging for the hours of driving that are needed for travel, but all the hours and all the money spent are absolutely worth it!! I thank our guide Ares, for accompanying us on this trip, speaks great Italian and recommend it to everyone! SHAKAR ARES!!

    Response from the operator: Caro David, Grazie mille per vostra prenotazione con la nostra Agenzia Mars alam tours

    Cairo&Aswan 2-day tour from Port Ghalib

    Excellent organization. Both guides and also drivers vere proffesional, kind and friendly at the same time. They shared a lot of information about places we visited, especially Reham in Cairo. Agency organized the tour in the way to avoid heat as much as possible, for example ve visited Giza before Cairo museum and Abu Simbel early in the morning. In Cairo they organized short boat trip on the Nile river, as we had some additional time after lunch before flight to Aswan. Many thanks to the driver in Cairo (I forgot his name) and his efforts. It was fun.Hotel in Aswan was nice for rest. I missed some swimimg in the pool in the evening, but swiming pool was closed. Abu Simbel and Phire was beautiful experience with Abdul also with all stops we made (for coffe, lemonade and lunch etc.) Parfume store visit was nice (cold hibiskus drink reccomended!) but be careful with prices as they are not fixed. Also a trip back to Marsa Alam was interesting and colourful especilaly Etfu village. Driver Amr was more then a driver for us...

    Response from the operator: Dear Olivera, Thanks for your your great review, we are very Happy to read your review, we are very Proud to get 5 stars Thanks&Best Regards Ahmed khalil

    Two Days Trip to Abu Simbel and Aswan from Marsa alam: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Two Days Trip to Abu Simbel and Aswan from Marsa alam cost?

    +

    Prices start at $514 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 Two Days Trip to Abu Simbel and Aswan from Marsa alam 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 Two Days Trip to Abu Simbel and Aswan from Marsa alam worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 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 Two Days Trip to Abu Simbel and Aswan from Marsa alam?

    +

    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 Two Days Trip to Abu Simbel and Aswan from Marsa alam 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 Two Days Trip to Abu Simbel and Aswan from Marsa alam?

    +

    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 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 Two Days Trip to Abu Simbel and Aswan from Marsa alam 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.
