Everything you need to know about booking your Luxor excursion from Hurghada. Find answers about Luxor tour prices, what's included in each Hurghada excursion package, and more:
The drive from Hurghada to Luxor takes approximately 3.5-4 hours each way, covering about 280 kilometers. We use comfortable, air-conditioned vehicles with experienced drivers for a safe and smooth journey.
The tour includes: hotel pickup/drop-off, transportation in air-conditioned vehicle, entrance fees to all sites (except King Tut tomb), professional Egyptologist guide, and lunch at a local restaurant. Water is provided during the tour.
Photography is allowed in most areas, but some sites require a photography ticket (additional cost). Professional cameras and tripods may require special permits. Your guide will inform you about specific photography rules at each site.
King Tut's tomb requires a special ticket (approximately €15-20 extra) as it's not included in the standard Valley of Kings ticket. We can arrange this for you with advance notice. The VIP tour includes it in the package.
Essential items include: comfortable walking shoes, sunhat, sunscreen, sunglasses, light clothing (covering shoulders and knees), camera with extra batteries, and a small backpack. Bring some cash for optional extras like photography tickets.
While some sites have stairs and uneven terrain, many areas are accessible. We can arrange special assistance and modified itineraries for guests with mobility concerns. Please inform us in advance so we can accommodate your needs.
Children of all ages are welcome. Children under 12 receive discounted rates. We recommend this tour for children aged 8+ as it involves considerable walking and long travel times.
We serve authentic Egyptian cuisine at carefully selected restaurants with Nile views. Typical meals include grilled meats, fresh salads, rice, and traditional dishes. Vegetarian options are available upon request.
The tour operates year-round. October to April offers the most comfortable temperatures. Summer (June-August) can be very hot, with temperatures reaching 40°C. We recommend early morning starts during summer months.
Yes. Despite the early start and the roughly 3.5–4 hour drive each way, a Luxor day trip from Hurghada is one of the most rewarding excursions in Egypt — in a single day you see the Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple and Hatshepsut Temple with an expert Egyptologist guide. If your time on the Red Sea coast is limited and you want to experience ancient Egypt, it is well worth it. Prefer a slower pace? Consider a two-day Luxor trip with an overnight stay.
