Vehicle Information

Our Fleet

A private transfer from Luxor to Soma Bay — the closest Red Sea resort area to Luxor, reached before Hurghada rather than after it. Door to door, travel permit included, one fixed price per vehicle.

A private Luxor to Soma Bay transfer covers around 255 km and takes three and a half to four hours. We collect from your hotel in Luxor, on either bank, and take you to your resort in Soma Bay.

Closer to Luxor than Hurghada is

The road from Luxor reaches the Red Sea at Safaga, and Soma Bay is the first resort area you come to heading north — before Makadi Bay, before Sahl Hasheesh, and about an hour before Hurghada city.

That surprises people who assume everything on this coast is measured from Hurghada. If you are combining Luxor with a Red Sea stay and Soma Bay is on your list, it is the shortest transfer of the group.

The road

The route runs from the Nile valley across the Eastern Desert to the coast. The desert section is open and empty, with very little settlement and long stretches without services — mobile signal is unreliable, so download anything you need before setting off, and we plan the rest stop rather than looking for one.

Soma Bay itself sits on a peninsula, so the final approach turns off the coast road onto the resort access road.

Travel permits — included, and handled for you

Transfers that cross a governorate boundary in Egypt require a travel permit arranged in advance. Luxor to Soma Bay crosses one.

We handle it. The permit, the road tolls and the checkpoint formalities are all included in the price you are quoted — nothing extra to pay and nothing for you to arrange.

What we need is passport details for every traveller, sent at least 24 hours before you travel. Permits cannot be issued at the roadside, so a booking made too late to arrange one is a booking we cannot run.

Every resort in the bay, one price

We price by zone rather than by property, so every resort on the Soma Bay peninsula costs the same. You get a firm figure at the moment you enquire instead of waiting for a quote.

Door to door, at your own time

We collect from your hotel in Luxor at the time you choose. There is no meeting point to find, no shared vehicle, and no other passengers to wait for.

Book now, pay on arrival

Reserve today and pay your driver when he arrives — cash in USD, EUR, GBP or EGP, or by card. No deposit, no card details, no prepayment.

We operate a modern fleet of private, air-conditioned vehicles across five categories: Sedan, SUV, Van, Coaster (Minibus) and Large Bus. The final category is confirmed based on your group size and luggage — brand and model may vary by availability.
