Driver waits all day · Egyptologist guide optional
Day trips and 2-day trips with a private driver
Our day trips are your own car and driver for the day — the driver waits while you visit. Luxor from Hurghada costs $200 per car (sedan), Cairo and Giza from Hurghada $300, St Catherine from Sharm $180. Entrance tickets are extra; a licensed Egyptologist guide is +$110 a day. Prices checked .
The driver is not a tour guide. If you want explanations at the temples and pyramids, add a licensed Egyptologist in the calculator.
