Day 1 Hurghada, Luxor

Hurghada, LuxorWelcome to Egypt! At the Hurghada terminal keep your eyes open for the Travel Talk sign, we pick you up from the airport and take you to our Premium hotel by the River of Nile. Gather round in the hotel lobby at 6:00pm as we meet both the other tour members and the guide for an informal meeting. After the meeting you have free time to start exploring Luxor .
*IMPORTANT FLIGHT ADVICE* Due to a government curfew in effect in parts of Egypt, all flights arriving after 1:00PM on Day 1 of the tour will stay in Hurghada for the first night & receive transfer to Luxor on the morning of Day 2 – this will mean the exclusion of the Valley of the Kings excursion on Day 2.
