About this tour
Turn your overland journey between the Nile Valley and the Red Sea into a comfortable cultural experience on this 6-hour (1-day) private door-to-door transfer from any Luxor hotel, Nile cruise ship, or Luxor Airport to your resort in Marsa Alam (or Port Ghalib / El Quseir), featuring a scenic route via Edfu across the Eastern Desert, a light lunch stop, and complimentary bottled water. This private intercity journey includes 1 lunch (breakfast and dinner are not included).
Meet your uniformed driver and English-speaking transfer coordinator at your Luxor hotel lobby, Nile cruise pier, or Luxor Airport arrival hall at 08:30 (or any requested departure time between 06:00 and 15:00) for luggage assistance and boarding into a late-model air-conditioned sedan, SUV, or minivan tailored to your group size.
Travel south along the Nile Valley to Edfu (1.5 hours, 110 km), where you pause for a freshly prepared lunch / coffee rest stop (with the option to view the exterior plaza of Edfu or ancient desert gold-mining tracks along the Wadi Mia / Barramiya desert road), then cross the scenic Red Sea Mountains of the Eastern Desert (220 km, approx. 3 hours) directly to the lobby of your Marsa Alam beachfront resort by 14:30. Practical Note: Rated Easy (ages 1–85); please provide your Luxor pickup point and Marsa Alam resort name upon booking for desert highway security clearance.
