Luxor to Marsa Alam Transfer

Hello everyone, For your sound and light show at Karnak, you simply buy the ticket at the entrance. Depending on where you're staying, take a taxi or a carriage. If you're on the west bank, cross over and take a taxi—don’t ask the driver to wait, as you’ll find another one after the show. For the hot-air balloon ride, there are many companies like Viator, Tripadvisor, and Momphis Tour (the red balloons, the most famous). Budget between 50 and 90 €, and check whether they pick you up to go to the launch site and return you to your hotel. Staying on the west bank is best. Book your tickets at least the day before, or even 24 hours in advance. For your trip to Marsa Alam, expect around 5 hours. Prices vary widely, and since they change constantly, it’s impossible to say what they’ll be next week. You mentioned, "If you also know a reliable local agency for transfers and excursions, I’m interested." In relation to what? Do you speak English? I’ll send you some private info for certain things.

Good evening, I’m jumping onto this thread since my question is similar. I need to get from Hurghada Airport to Luxor. I’d appreciate any tips or info! Thanks in advance

Hello everyone, To get from Hurghada to Luxor, there are two options. The first is to take a private vehicle (taxi), but it’s much more expensive, and the price is for the whole vehicle, not per person (Note: some taxis may refuse to let foreigners sit in the front, so if that’s the case, a maximum of three people in the vehicle). The second option, by far the cheapest, but you’ll need to plan ahead. It’s taking the bus—we always use GoBus. You can either check their website (though it’s not easy if you’re not familiar with the area names) or send them a message. Alternatively, if you have a bit of time, you can go to the GoBus agency in Hurghada and book your round-trip tickets if you’re returning to Hurghada later. Just make sure to book at least 24 to 48 hours in advance, as this is a very busy route. It’s really affordable. For luggage, it depends on your destination, but generally, you can bring two large suitcases and one smaller one in the bus’s storage compartment, plus a carry-on or small bag inside the bus. However, it’s best to email the agency to confirm, as rules can change. For checked luggage, they’ll give you a ticket with a number. If nothing has changed in the meantime, the stop in Luxor is near their agency, about 200 meters to the right of the train station, or in a parking lot behind it. The GoBus agency in Hurghada is located on El Nasr Street, near Red Sea Hospital. Thoutmosis

I’ll mention a third option for getting from Hurghada to Luxor: hiring a private provider. I used this option a month ago without knowing how reliable the company was. Since we were leaving in the morning, I knew I’d have time to fall back on GoBus if it didn’t work out. In the end, the driver contacted me the day before departure, and I was lucky to get a friendly driver who also drove carefully (we were a family of 2 adults and 2 teens). The service cost 100 € total.

Hello everyone, I get what you're saying, but whether it's a company or not, it's still the taxis that compete for rides. Some drivers work for companies while also taking private fares, and others only work for themselves. Glad your trip went well—just like here, there can be some crazy drivers on the road. Thoutmosis
