Luxor, Egypt

What is the difference between the small group and the large group on the Luxor day trip?

In the small group (6-8 people), you travel in a comfortable minibus, which is faster, quieter, and more private. The large group (20-40 people) travels by a big coach. Both options include the same program, the same English-speaking Egyptologist guide, and the same inclusions. The small group is recommended if you prefer a more comfortable and personal experience.

Do I have to pay extra for pickup from Makadi Bay, Sahl Hasheesh, or El Gouna?

Yes, there is an additional pickup fee: • El Gouna: 10 USD per person • Makadi Bay: 5 USD per person • Sahl Hasheesh: 5 USD per person These fees are not included in the base price of the trip and will be collected on the day of the tour or can be paid in advance.
