Best tour provider, perfect days
I would like to share my absolutely positive experience. We went on three excursions with Marsa Alam Tours and I have never been so happy with the organization. Sara had coordinated everything exactly with us beforehand via WhatsApp. Everything was 100% according to our wishes. The guides spoke German and were very knowledgeable. Sara checked in often to see if everything was going well and if we were satisfied. I have never experienced such outstanding service.
Many, many thanks to the whole team, especially to Sara

Excellent day trip to Luxor
Excellent day trip to Luxor, long drive about4/5 hours but comfortable and friendly drivers! Our private guide Asgahmed, in Luxor arranged via Marsa Alam tours could not have been more knowledgable and friendly. He made the whole day very special for us🙏 Next time maybe we spend longer in Luxor as its an exceptional city to visit.

Don’t think twice about booking with Marsa Alam Tours!
What an amazing day! My wife and I had a fantastic trip to Luxor with Marsa Alam tours.
It was a long and tiring day, leaving Port Ghalib at 4 am and returning at 8:30 pm, but that was a small price to pay for what we saw and experienced whilst in Luxor.
Karnak and Luxor temples were definitely a highlight and we would also recommend adding King Tut’s tomb to your valley of the Kings visit. His tomb is small but beautifully decorated. We also loved dancing and singing to Nour El Ein (The “habibi” song) whilst driving to lunch. The lunch spot was also fantastic, I thoroughly enjoyed my beef tagine!
An Egyptologist will join you in Luxor. They will give you a great overview of the history of each site and answer any additional questions you might have.
We also liked how we were able to choose which sites and stops to visit. We expressed that we weren’t interested in shopping or the alabaster factory and that decision was instantly respected by the drivers and guide.
Many thanks to Marsa Alam tours, keeping doing what you are doing! Special thanks to Waheed for driving us all day and for being such a welcoming and friendly person. Shukran, Habibi!

A day well spent in Luxor!!
We did a private day trip to Luxor from Marsa Alam. Our driver Aala picked up at 04.00 AM and we reached Luxor at 08.30 before the rush at Karnak Temple. Our private guide Khalil guided us through the day. It was an excellent experience to see the beautiful ancient architecture and learn about the Egyptian history from vastly knowledged Khalil. He knew everything, explained clearly and answered our questions patiently. After the trip to Karnak Temple, Temple of Hatshepsut, The Kings Valley, Nile river sail and also an intermittent lunch we returned safely back to our hotel by 19.30. 100% recommended and a million times better than a group bus trip and also cheaper than a group bus trip.

1 day tour Marsa Alam to Luxor
This was a private tour for myself and two children 16&12 yrs
The pick up was an early start from our hotel in Marsa Alam. We had 2 drivers taking turns as it is a long day. They were both excellent and friendly. (Mohamed & Hamza)
We met out Tour guide in Luxor. (Kahlil ) He was also really friendly and informative.
I can’t believe how much we were able to see in one day but the organisation was seamless.
We started on the East bank of the Nile. Then had a short boat ride across the Nile with lovely views (optional extra) . Kahlil organised a restaurant for lunch with stunning views. The food was delicious and authentic local cuisine. We then explored the west side of the Nile. The tour included all the famous sites, temples, valley of the Kings and tombs. We were then driven back to our hotel in Marsa Alam in time for dinner.
Definitely recommend this amazing trip giving an insight into the fascinating Egyptian history.
I also recommend Egypt Tour Packages & Marsa Alam Tours - Cairo 1 day trip with flights . Again a very long but worthwhile trip
