Transfer or day trip?
A transfer takes you from one place to another. If you'd like to see the sights with a guide and come back the same day, our day trips are made for that: the Luxor day trip to the Valley of the Kings and Karnak, and the trip to the Pyramids of Giza.
Going to Sharm El Sheikh or Marsa Alam?
Sharm El Sheikh is across the Red Sea from Hurghada: by road it's a very long drive around the Gulf of Suez, so many travellers take the ferry when it's running. Our sister website Sharm El Sheikh Safari has tours there, and Marsa Alam Safari has tours in Marsa Alam.
