CAIRO & LUXOR / THE EXPERIENCE

A CLOSER LOOK AT YOUR DAY
The great sights. A smaller group.
Explore Luxor in a smaller shared group of no more than eight guests. The program covers the same essential Luxor highlights as the bus tour, with a more compact group and an Egyptologist guide.
Travel from Hurghada to Luxor in a shared mini bus with a maximum of eight guests. Visit Karnak Temple with an Egyptologist guide, have lunch, then continue to the West Bank for the Valley of the Kings with three standard tombs, Hatshepsut Temple and the Colossi of Memnon. An optional Nile boat trip may be offered before the return to Hurghada.

YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
A little clarity.
Is there a cheaper option than the Luxor minibus?+
Yes. Our shared Luxor bus costs €65 per adult aged 10+, compared with €80 for this minibus. Both cover the same listed sites and standard inclusions. Choose the bus for the lower fare or the minibus for a smaller shared group of up to eight instead of up to 30. Neither option guarantees an earlier return.
How much does the Luxor minibus cost for two adults or a family?+
Two adults pay €160. Two adults with two children aged 4–9 pay €240; guests aged 10 and over use the adult fare. Infants aged 0–3 pay €35 each. These totals include Hurghada pickup and the listed standard program, before any outside-Hurghada supplement or chosen extras. Booking several seats does not make the vehicle private.
Is it private?+
No. It is a small shared group unless a private service is specifically booked.
Are three tombs included?+
Yes, three standard Valley of the Kings tombs.
Is Tutankhamun’s tomb included?+
No, it requires a separate ticket if available.
Is the Nile trip included?+
No, optional if offered.
Are outside-Hurghada transfers included?+
Hurghada hotel pickup and drop-off are included. For hotels outside Hurghada, send your exact hotel name before booking so the transfer arrangement and any applicable supplement can be confirmed.
What information do you need for hotel pickup?+
Provide your hotel name, room number when available, and a reachable phone or WhatsApp number. Your exact pickup time is confirmed after the hotel details are checked; the activity time is not necessarily your hotel pickup time.
Is the trip suitable if I have limited mobility?+
Please describe your mobility needs before booking. Transport access and the amount of walking or steps vary by site; we need to check the arrangements for your chosen departure before confirming suitability.
Are optional tickets and the Nile trip compulsory?+
No. The listed standard admissions are included. Special-entry tickets and the Nile boat trip, if offered, are optional paid extras; check prices and available time with the guide before purchasing.
