Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best day trips from Hurghada?
The most popular day trips from Hurghada are the private tour to Luxor and the private tour to Cairo. El Sultan Travel also offers 2-day trips to both cities with an overnight stay, which give you far more time at the sites.
Can I visit Luxor from Hurghada in one day?
Yes. A Hurghada to Luxor day trip covers the main highlights, but it is a long day because of the drive each way. If you prefer a slower pace, the 2-day Luxor trip with an overnight stay lets you see the East and West Banks without rushing.
Is it possible to visit Cairo from Hurghada?
Yes, we run both a one-day Cairo trip and a 2-day Cairo trip from Hurghada. The 2-day option is easier for most travelers because Cairo is a long drive away and the pyramids and museums need time.
What is the best time to take a day trip from Hurghada?
Hurghada is warm all year, but October to April is the best period for sightseeing in Luxor and Cairo because temperatures are comfortable. Summer can be very hot inland, so early starts are important.
Are the Hurghada tours private?
Our tours are arranged as private trips with an expert English-speaking guide, so the schedule can be adjusted to your group. Check the details on each tour page before you book.
