By coach, small group, limousine or plane: Soma Bay guests reach Luxor and Cairo, or join a Hurghada city tour.
Golf, kites and reefs fill most days in Soma Bay, but many guests also want one day with the pharaohs. Luxor, once called Thebes, is reached by road from the coast. Each Luxor trip covers Karnak Temple and the temple of Hatshepsut with an Egyptologist and lunch, plus either the royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings or the Valley of the Queens. A mini group version keeps the group to 6 guests or fewer.
The balloon day adds a shared hot air balloon flight at sunrise before the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut and Karnak. For Cairo, the choice is between the historic Egyptian Museum in Tahrir and the new Grand Egyptian Museum, each paired with the Giza Pyramids and the Great Sphinx. Go by bus, in a mini group, by private limousine or by air: for the flights, we drive you from Soma Bay to Hurghada International Airport, about 45 km away.
Not ready for a long day? The Hurghada city sightseeing tour is a shorter look at local life, with the marina, El Mina Grand Mosque, the Coptic Church, the markets and a viewpoint over the town. For Luxor and Cairo, carry your passport, wear shoes you can walk in all day and bring a hat. Pickup is from your Soma Bay hotel, with the time sent to you on WhatsApp or Telegram.
