Overnight Luxor Excursion from Safaga Port Notes

Enhance Your Comfort with a Luxury Van:

Choose a luxury van for a more comfortable travel experience. Our spacious, well-equipped vans offer plenty of legroom, air conditioning, and refreshments, making your journey much more enjoyable. You will also have extra space for your luggage and personal belongings, keeping everything organized and easily accessible. You will arrive not only comfortably but also refreshed and ready to explore.

Professional Photographer:

You can arrange for one of our professional photographers to accompany you during your visit to the pyramids or any other excursion of your choice. Our photographers capture your best angles and expressions at the most beautiful locations, at an additional cost of USD 50 per day.

Transit Visa:

Cruise passengers can obtain a transit visa stamp on board, provided free of charge by the Egyptian Immigration Association.

Tour Availability:

We offer excursions from all major Egyptian ports: Alexandria, Safaga, Port Said, and Ain Sokhna. If your cruise arrives after 7:00 AM or departs before 9:00 PM from Alexandria or Port Said, we recommend a one-day Cairo excursion to visit only the Pyramids and the Sphinx. Due to time restrictions, including other sites would be difficult. This recommendation ensures a memorable visit to these ancient wonders and a timely return to your cruise ship. Our tours are available in small groups and can also be customized as private VIP tours upon request.

Tours and Rates:

Rates are quoted in USD, but payments in euros or British pounds are also accepted.

Accessible Tours:

We offer private tours for travelers with special requirements, providing accessible vacation options.

More Affordable Than Cruise Excursions:

Our rates are generally lower than those offered by cruise lines, with savings of up to 40% in some cases. We believe you should enjoy exceptional experiences without paying too much. When our prices are higher, this reflects the superior quality of our excursions, often with smaller groups and a more personalized experience.

Higher Quality Than Cruise Line Tours:

We are committed to providing exceptional experiences. Unlike typical cruise line tours, which often have more than 50 people per group, our tours are designed for smaller groups. This ensures a more personalized and enjoyable experience, allowing for deeper exploration and individual attention.

Hotel Ratings in Egypt:

Please note that hotel ratings in Egypt differ from those in the United States or Europe. We recommend choosing luxury hotels (Plan B) for a true 5-star experience. Standard hotels (Plan A), although officially rated 5 stars in Egypt, are more comparable to 3-star hotels by international standards.

To Confirm Your Booking:

Please send us: - The full names, email addresses, and nationalities of all travelers - The number of adults and children, including the children's dates of birth - The name of your cruise ship, along with its arrival and departure times and dates - Your mobile phone number - A copy of your passport

Child Policy: - 0–5.99: Free - 6–11.99: Pay 50% of the tour price - 12+: Pay the full adult tour price

"Unsurpassed Private Egypt Tour with Egyptologist Guide"

We spent 10 days covering Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan with Ramasside Tours. From the moment we landed, every detail was immaculate. Our private Egyptologist guide brought 4,500 years of pharaonic history to life with genuine passion. The luxury vehicles, VIP access, and seamless arrangements made this the trip of a lifetime.
