Day Trip To Luxor From Soma Bay

Everything neatly arranged and definitely worth it, impressive excursion. Our English-speaking guide Achmed Mustafa enthusiastically took us with him all day long. We felt safe and comfortable with him. He was knowledgeable, friendly and gave good explanations. Recommended!

All 5 stars!!! Clear communication, comfortable transportation, magnificent guide and unforgettable Luxor!!

First of all thanks to the Team Nubian, Assem and Karim. We really enjoyed the tour and i highly recommend to go with them. Once in a lifetime this Egyptian Adventure is a mustsee. Booking was easy. The Car including the drivers arrived on time at the Hotel. The ride was without any issues and we didnt have any safety concerns. Assem and Karim split up the driving and Nubi our Guide did well in showing us the most important Spots at Karnak, valley of Kings, Hachepsuts Temple and Memnon Colossi. He was sharp and delivered the important details. Be ready for a long day. Wintermonth prepare also for cold mornings. Once again thanks to the guys.

The pick-up was on time, perfect. it was 05.00 in the morning. He picked us up at Safaga, where our hotel was. So we didn’t have to go to Soma Bay first :-) The driver came to us and give us a warm welcome. He explained what the plan was, it gives us a save feeling. We were with me as mother and my daughter of 13 years old. The driver speaks English and tried to speaks it well. The bus was comfortable and after 3 hours (from Safaga to Luxor) we were at the spot our guide of the day came in. He was Egyptian and spoke our language (Dutch) pretty well! We were happy surprised. He told us everything about the Egypt authenticity. He knows everything very well. He took enough time, we could have a break, there was enough cold water. He asked if we would like to go with a horse and carriage through the city of old Luxor and make a trip with a motor along the Nile. It was an option for $20,- per activity per person extra. The carriage with the horse was worth value, the boat wasn’t that special. Next time we would skip that. The guide was very friendly, he helped us to buy some souvenirs. Good to know that you can pay with cash euro’s in Egypt. The 3 hour trip back with the car was comfortable. There was airco the whole day. We saw soms wild camals at the side of the highway. The driver stopped for us so we could take a picture. We had two drivers. Because of the long day they took turns driving. We were back at the hotel at 07.30

Driver Ahmed was fantastic, optimised the tour for minimum queuing. Personally I would have skipped the alabaster show.

We really enjoyed this tour. Ahmed was a great guide who had a lot of knowledge to share while also letting us walk and discover each of the monuments. Additionally the local lunch was amazing. We would definitely recommend doing 2 days instead of 1 if you can, but we got the opportunity to make the most out of this day thanks to the tour !

Hoda showed us the best sides of all the important sights in Luxor in a short time. We were immediately impressed by her upbeat and funny manner. She is very knowledgeable and answered all our questions courteously. The local lunch she organized in the old center of Luxor was excellent. The short trip on the Nile was an excellent idea from Hoda. We will definitely come back to Luxor and are already looking forward to going on another tour of the ancient sites of Luxor with Hoda. Many thanks to Hoda and her team. Carmen and Beat

Collected from our hotel in Soma Bay at 5:30 as arranged. Mohammed was our driver, we called him Lewis Hamilton as he was fast but we never felt unsafe. He got us there quickly and was always waiting when it was time to move on. Our guide was Mansour (Mannie) whose English was excellent and his enthusiasm great. We asked many questions and he knew the answers, explaining things clearly and obviously loved that we wanted to know more of his culture. Karnak was amazing, Valley of the Kings mind blowing! We paid extra to visit Seti I's tomb- very expensive but we were the only ones in it and it was beautiful. Food (included) was delicious, much better than I expected. Back to the hotel for 7:30, a day to remember, and what a great price! Remember to take plenty of money (we took USD) for tips

We had booked a 1 day trip from Soma Bay to Luxor. When preparing, I decided to make it a 2-day trip and book the hotel myself. After I didn't get an answer for a day, the email came that summarized everything the way I wanted it. We were picked up from the hotel on time with driver and guide Ahmet, who told us a lot about the local conditions and history. In Luxor itself the guide changed and we got a fluent German speaking guide Ahmed Mostafa, who was really great. We were looked after around the clock and really felt like we were in good hands. On the second day we went for lunch at our own expense, which I can only recommend, the restaurant Ahmed chose was wonderful. Yes, we were also driven to the papyr and stonemason sales exhibitions, but at least the second time Ahmed offered us to skip it. We had two great days in Luxor and can only recommend this organizer!

An incredible experience! The air-conditioned van and the driver were really kind, helpful and attentive. Everything right on time, the van comes to look for you in front of the hotel reception. The day is very well organised, I thank the Guide Ahmed and the manager Ahmed for communication, he is available for any need or question. I really recommend it!! Thanks again for this day full of emotions, I absolutely did not regret having visited this incredible place ❤️
