Private shore excursions from Safaga port on the Red Sea, each with your own guide and transport. Snorkeling and the Sindbad submarine start at $90, a Luxor day tour at $220, and two days in Luxor at $300 per person.
Safaga shore excursions are private trips from Safaga port on Egypt’s Red Sea coast, about an hour south of Hurghada. Luxor is about 220 km inland, three and a half hours by road, so a Luxor day with the Valley of the Kings and Karnak takes about 12 hours. For a shorter day, snorkel the coral reefs or take a submarine trip close to the port.
Your guide waits at the cruise exit with your name on a sign, and the car is parked close by.

Everything was planned and executed from arrival to departure.
An amazing experience, only made better by our fantastic guide Manal. She really helped us understand the true history of Egypt.
I sent an outline of my plans. Soon I received a ready-made plan that fully met our expectations.
About 220 km. The drive takes roughly three and a half hours each way, so a Luxor day tour from Safaga takes about 12 hours and starts at $220 per person.
The Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut and the Colossi of Memnon on the West Bank, then Karnak Temple on the East Bank. With two days, you can add Luxor Temple and more tombs.
Yes, by domestic flight from Hurghada airport, about an hour from the port. The Cairo day takes about 12 hours and includes the flights, the Pyramids and the city.
Yes. The crew helps beginners and chooses calm spots on the reef. If someone in your group is not a confident swimmer, the Sindbad submarine shows the same reef without getting wet.
For history, the Luxor day tour is the highlight of any Red Sea cruise. For a relaxed day or a short port call, choose snorkeling or the submarine.
Yes. We plan every excursion to have you back at the port at least two hours before departure, and a backup vehicle stays on standby on the long routes. If we ever miss that, Egypt Day Tours takes full responsibility and pays for your hotel and your flight to the ship’s next port of call.
No separate visa is needed. Your cruise line provides the Egypt visa or landing permit for every passenger, so you simply step off the ship and meet your guide.
