We used Egypt Tours Portal for the two days we were here to see The Valley of the Kings. Another great experience. Read Less

Trip by coach is about 3.5 hrs long, in convoy with security on board, lots of police checks and speed humps en route so no chance to snooze on the way back. However, Karnak Temple and the tombs are worth seeing. Tip: told to use the wc on the coach as facilities not great in Egypt. Understatement! Queues are enormous too.... Read Less

If you have to drive 4 1/2 hours each way, you should not have it as a stop. Particularly in excruciating heat. Not worth it. Would much prefer to see Luxor by land (I know an overnight was offered, but it really should be the only offer). Read Less

Took Cruise Critic tour to Luxor - a long drive! Read Less

After a 12 hour day in Jordan, I couldn't manage another 12 hours day, so I stayed on the ship. Read Less

It is a 3 hour long drive from the port. Karnak Temple is magnificent. a must see. Read Less

Very good tours and so much to see. Amazing site. Could have spent the day taking pictures. Read Less

Very good tours and so much to see. Some walking and steep in and out of the tombs. Heat can be quite a factor. Read Less

Our guide had a Ph.D. In archeology and knew his history of Egypt in depth. Read Less

Our guide knew so much about ancient and modern Egypt history , art, and music and also had a sense of humor! Read Less

Memphis tour again, Luxor is great drive from port is terrible, 4 hour plus. Left little time for fantastic sites. Ship needed stay longer. Read Less

We were too late to book the Thomson excursion, so we got a cab at the port entrance and took ourselves. It was a lovely day on a nice private beach. The only problem was the hotel staff who insisted on trying to sell us massages, camel rides, boat trips etc etc etc etc Read Less

Industrial type port , knew this before we booked so just enjoyed the hot weather on board Read Less

it looked like we had docked next door to a cement factory, safaga is used as a point to visit the pyramids etc - the tours take 12 or 14 hours = not worth it in my opinion, if you want to see the wonders of Egypt then do a nile cruise as the wonders are on your door step some people went into safaga and said there was nothing much there, the taxi fares varied from $40 to $5 for the same journey so take my advice and barter or stay on board as many people go on all day trips and the ship is nearly deserted Read Less

Ship tours from here were to Luxor ,valley of kings etc which we had seen before--were told it wasn't worth getting off ship as it was only a dock, ship tours from $300 each .We knew better ---got off ship --got taxi for 4 hours between 4 of us for 20 euros--went into town and did some shopping then to a luxary beachside hotel in the next bay and relaxed with some beers at the beach bar Very nice day out .Most stayed on the ship as they had been advised and missed out Read Less

Bus trip into Hurghada takes an hour and half , glass bottom boat trip was OK ,had an hour for shopping in Hurghada a busy town popular with scuba divers . Read Less

This place is a DUMP! (As is Sharm) (But then it is purely there to get people bussed to Luxor.) WHY do Americans pay a taxi driver $50 for a trip to town that a local would pay 50 cents for? No wonder the Egyptians love tourists! (Both my children have studied in Eqypt, so we know what the rates are.) I think people were shocked by the filth and squalor, but having known Egypt for a bit now, We were expecting it! Read Less

Had a walk into the town which is a fair distance from the port area. Neatly presented Taxis will pick you up inside the Dock area but be warned they ask you to get out at the gate entrance and make you get into an old people carrier. Not that much to see unless you do the trip to the tombs. Read Less

this was a very noisy and busy industial port which was not very clean, but it did not spoil it for us as we got used to the noise of the beeping lorries. Read Less

The port of Muscat was cancelled just after we booked this cruise and the port of Fujairah was substituted. Fujairah is a major re-fuelling port and like the majority of UAE countries - hot, dry, desert and rugged mountains. As we arrived on a Friday (Muslim holy day) we opted to take a short tour to visit the local mosques, fort, and Friday market. We would not put Fujairah on our "Must see" list of places to visit!

Safaga/Luxor cleaner than Alexandria/Cairo Took a private tour (organised by CC member)to Luxor - FANTASTIC Read Less

Nothing to getcexcited about. Catch cab to old city or new city. Sharm el sheihk more interesting Read Less

Industrial port and the nearby cement factory`s dust blew all over passangers and ship. Health hazard. Read Less
