02Overview
A first look
Beyond Luxor’s green fields, the road east opens into dry, wide stretches of desert. From the window, the landscape changes gradually as you leave the Nile Valley behind and head towards the Red Sea coast.
We arrange a private vehicle sized for your group, a driver and meet-and-greet support. The journey takes about four and a half to five hours, with pickup at your Luxor hotel or Nile cruise and drop-off at your Marsa Alam hotel. This is a direct transfer, not a sightseeing trip, so stops at attractions are not part of the service. Please tell us your preferred pickup point when you arrange the journey.
