Tours in Luxor

If you see a tour you like please email me for the prices.

There is a very good reason for not having the prices on this website; there are many people in Luxor who would like to know Ali’s prices and they will all promise to do the trip cheaper BUT at the end of the tour they would argue for a higher price and give you a great deal of grief. You will find that Ali charges a fair price and he will not give you any hassle: that I can promise you!

Tourist Transport

Tourist transport & free SIM card!

For 1 or 2 people a Private air conditioned limousine from Airport to any Luxor hotel will cost EGP60 and can be paid locally.

For 3 or more people a Private air conditioned mini bus from Airport to any Luxor hotel  the cost is EGP20 per person and under 12's are 1/2 price.

We only need your flight details and name and you will be met at the airport by our local representative with a sign.  This makes for a hassle free start to your holiday!

When you are collected from the airport you will receive a free local SIM card.  Our agent will also show you a cheap place to get water and soft drinks.
