Four hours in a private car from the Red Sea coast to Luxor's temples and riverfront

A private transfer from Soma Bay to Luxor City in an air-conditioned sedan or minibus, with door-to-door pickup and drop-off at your hotel, train station, airport or cruise ship. The journey takes approximately 4 hours. A travel permit is required and must be arranged 24 hours in advance. The operator handles the paperwork once you provide passport photos and room numbers 48 hours before departure. Luggage allowance is one piece per passenger.

The experience

The drive from Soma Bay to Luxor covers roughly 4 hours in a private, air-conditioned vehicle. You choose your pickup location in Soma Bay and your drop-off point in Luxor, whether that's your hotel, the train station, the airport, or a cruise ship on the Nile. The operator arranges a travel permit required for the journey. You'll need to send passport photos and room numbers 48 hours ahead so the permit can be processed in time.

Two vehicle options let you match the size to your group: a sedan carries up to 3 passengers, or a minibus accommodates up to 8. Each passenger is allowed one piece of luggage. Infants can sit on an adult's lap or travel in a pram or stroller.
