02Overview

A first look

East of Luxor, green farmland thins and the Eastern Desert takes over the view. The road gradually leaves the Nile Valley behind, with dry hills framing the route towards El Quseir on the Red Sea coast. In a private vehicle, you can settle in and watch the landscape change without sharing the journey with a coach group.

The drive takes around three and a half to four hours, depending on road conditions. We arrange a driver for your party and a transfer representative to assist with the pickup, so the handover in Luxor is clear before you set off.

Background

The facts

The Luxor to El Quseir Private Intercity Transfer is a private, one-way road service between Luxor in Upper Egypt and El Quseir on Egypt’s Red Sea coast. Discovery Tours Egypt arranges the transfer as a licensed Egyptian tour operator; a driver and meet-and-assist representative are included.

The route links an inland city with a coastal town across the Eastern Desert and takes about 3.5 to 4 hours by road. Pickup is from your Luxor hotel or Nile cruise, with drop-off at your hotel in El Quseir.

Luxor is on the Nile in Upper Egypt, while El Quseir is a Red Sea port town. The transfer is transport only: sightseeing and entrance fees are excluded, as are gratuities.

The vehicle is selected to fit the booking party. Tell us about your luggage when booking. Every child takes a seat in the vehicle and is charged the adult rate for the transfer at any age.

Is this for you?
