What's special about this Luxor tour from Marsa Alam?

What makes this overnight Luxor tour from Marsa Alam exceptional is its relaxed pacing. So instead of enduring a full day trip of 10 to 12  hours long, this two-day itinerary allows travelers to continue the relaxing pace they started in Marsa Alam in a modern & air-conditioned vehicle to explore Luxor “Thebes” -the ancient capital of Egypt- freely. 

As this tour allows you to explore Luxor freely, it adds the chance to add more experiences to the tour that single-day travelers completely miss, like:

• Sunrise Hot Air Balloon experience

This way, you’ll maximize your experience and time at each site and help prevent fatigue at the same time.
