The experience

Your Luxor experience, made effortless

Combining Cairo and Luxor in two days sounds ambitious, and by road it would be relentless. By air it works. This tour takes you from Safaga to Hurghada airport for an early flight to Cairo, gives you a full day at the pyramids and the Egyptian Museum, flies on to Luxor for the night, and covers the Theban sites the following morning before driving back to Safaga.

This is the most ambitious excursion we run from Safaga, and it suits guests who want to see the capital and the Valley of the Kings in a single port call and who would regret missing either. It is a long day one, with an early start and an evening flight to Luxor.

Cruise passengers note: a shore excursion that includes domestic flights may conflict with the cruise line's own arrangements, and some lines require written permission before passengers disembark for an overnight. Please check with your ship before booking, and confirm your flight times with us.
