A wonderful experience at Egypt We had an absolutely fantastic trip thanks to EgyptaTours. From being met at the plane in Egypt, to th4e excellent guides and drivers, our trip was outstanding. Mona took us around Cairo and was willing to answer all of our many questions concerning past and present history. The local meals we enjoyed for our lunches were exactly what we hoped for. If you want to see the highlights of Egypt and only have one week you cannot do any better than EgyptaTours!

Family Tour We had Had a great tour with mona and Abdul to the pyramids and sphinx as well as a flexible tour to see some Egyptian historical sites. they guided us everywhere and was very detailed and knowledgeable in his explanations. We also had free time to roam as well and take some photos. It was nice to have an affordable private tour instead of navigating with a large group. Would recommend, thanks EgyptaTours!

Tour Review I planned a trip for my husband and I to come to Egypt for 2 weeks andI wanted to see as much as possible while we were here. I found EgyptaTours and was very pleased with the itinerary options they offered. My agent was super helpful in the planning process and the accommodations once we arrived to Egypt were OUTSTANDING. Our guides were fabulous, communicative, highly knowledgeable, and super friendly. They even allowed us to alter our itenerary in Egypt to allow us time to see some new things that we didn't know about while planning the trip! We had a wonderful experience and i recommend this company to anyone who wants to see Egypt and learn about the amazing history and culture.

Exceptional Service Highly Recommended Nile Cruise Booking Trying to organise a Nile Cruise can be challenging with so many options and so many different cruise companies and price points. I have recently booked a Nile Cruise with Egypta Tours and our personal tour operator Amr has been excellent, extremely responsive and stood out from all the other operators I engaged with during the research and booking process.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mein Schiff 2 Excursions from Safaga Port

Arriving at Safaga Port on the Mein Schiff 2 is the perfect starting point for discovering Egypt's ancient treasures and stunning Red Sea coast. Whether you want to explore the grand temples of Luxor or relax by the vibrant coral reefs, careful planning makes all the difference. Here are the top questions and quick answers to help you plan an unforgettable shore excursion.

Most travelers opt for a full-day trip to Luxor to marvel at Karnak Temple and the Valley of the Kings. For a coastal experience, nearby Hurghada offers excellent snorkeling, glass-bottom submarine tours, and thrilling 4x4 desert safaris.

The drive from Safaga to Luxor takes about 3 to 3.5 hours each way along a secure, well-maintained desert highway. Because of the distance, these are full-day excursions, usually lasting around 10 to 12 hours in total.

Yes, a standard day tour is perfectly timed for cruise passengers. You will have plenty of time to explore the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut, the Colossi of Memnon, and the Karnak Temple complex before heading back to the ship.

Private tours provide a vastly superior and flexible experience. You enjoy a dedicated Egyptologist guide, a private air-conditioned vehicle, and the freedom to travel at your own pace without waiting on a slow-moving, 50-passenger bus.

Absolutely. Reputable local operators specialize in cruise logistics and strictly monitor the Mein Schiff 2 docking schedule. Your itinerary is expertly timed with built-in buffers to ensure a safe, punctual return before the ship departs.

You do not have to travel far to have an amazing day. You can stay near the coast and enjoy world-class Red Sea marine life by booking a private snorkeling boat, a scuba diving intro session, or a relaxing day pass at a luxury resort in Hurghada.

Yes. Dendera Temple, famous for its beautifully preserved blue astronomical ceiling, is a fantastic alternative to Luxor. It is slightly closer to Safaga Port and offers a much more peaceful, uncrowded sightseeing experience.

Generally, TUI Cruises (Mein Schiff) handles a blanket transit or port visa for passengers disembarking for shore excursions, which is billed directly to your cabin account. It is always wise to confirm your specific visa status with the onboard guest services team before arrival.

Yes, local tour operators use premium, modern vehicles for all excursions. Whether you book a luxury sedan for two or a spacious minivan for a family, you will enjoy powerful air-conditioning and comfortable seating throughout the desert crossing.

Sun protection and comfort are your main priorities. Wear light, breathable clothing, a wide-brimmed hat, and sturdy, closed-toe walking shoes for the sandy terrain. Do not forget your sunglasses, high-SPF sunscreen, and your cruise boarding card.
