Send a precise resort address
Travel estimates based only on the name “Marsa Alam” can be misleading. Supply the property name and location so the route, pickup and total time can be assessed.
Agree the West Bank scope
Choose the places that matter most before departure. Attempting several extra monuments can turn the day into rushed visits and leave less room for a comfortable return.
Consider the physical demands
A long road journey combines with sun, uneven paving and possibly tomb stairs. Tell us about travel sickness, mobility limitations or children who may need more frequent breaks.
The written quotation takes precedence over this suggested programme. Check the final services, guiding arrangements and any optional costs before confirming.
Good to know.
What are the rates for different group sizes?
This tour is private. Rates start at $155 per person for 2 guests. Solo travelers pay $248 for dedicated transport and guiding, while parties of 3–5 pay $127 per person, and 6+ guests pay $109 per person.
Which West Bank sites are included?
Only those named in your confirmed quotation. “West Bank highlights” is a planning framework, not a promise of admission to every major monument.
Is this the same journey as from Hurghada?
No. The departure area and road approach differ, and Marsa Alam resorts are widely spread. A Hurghada pickup or return estimate should not be applied to your trip.
Would an overnight visit be more comfortable?
It may be for travellers who dislike long single-day excursions. Ask for a separate proposal if spending a night in Luxor would better match your pace.
Where will we be picked up?
Your hotel or an agreed meeting point. Your exact meeting details are agreed before travel.
How is my booking confirmed?
Send an enquiry first. We review availability and provide a written quotation with the itinerary, services, price and booking conditions. Sending the form does not reserve a service.
