aussie cruzer Posted October 7, 2016 #2 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I read the road from Safaga to Luxor is open from 6.00 am to 6.00 pm for tourists. Can private tours depart straight away when ready or do they go in a convoy at set time. I was hoping to depart by 6.30 am on private tour on Upcoming cruise. What time would private tours leave Luxor for the return trip to ship that departs at 10.00 pm in April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello 1-yes you can depart straight away after you finish you procedure at the port if you booked a private transfer (check with your agent that both tour and transfer are private) if you did not book yet you can choose from TripAdvisor https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractions-g294205-Activities-Luxor_Nile_River_Valley.html note : it will be cheaper if you contact an agent directly (check their reviews befor booking) 2- usually the private tours leave Luxor between 3 or 4pm the road takes around 3 hours drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pauladora Posted April 4, 2017 #10 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Any hotels in Safaga do day passes for cruise passengers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmedmummy Posted April 10, 2017 Author #11 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Any hotels in Safaga do day passes for cruise passengers actually you can get you visa just in port and you are free to get out of the port. but I advice you not to spend you precious time in a hotel you have two options Snorkeling in Safaga or Luxor day tour(recommended) sorry for late replay :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
