02Overview
A first look
South of Luxor, the road follows the green strip of fields and villages along the Nile Valley, with dry desert beyond it. From the window, the change from the city’s busy streets to Esna’s quieter river setting gives the journey its shape. This is a straightforward point-to-point transfer, so there is no sightseeing stop built into the drive.
We arrange a private vehicle suited to your group, with a driver and a representative to assist with the transfer. Your pickup can be from a Luxor hotel or Nile cruise, with drop-off at your accommodation or cruise mooring in Esna. The road journey takes about an hour; entrance fees, sightseeing and gratuities are not included.
