We want to go to Egypt in mid-November. The main purpose of the holiday is excursions to Luxor, Thebes, etc. etc. We think where it is better to go - to Marsa Alam or Hurghada. How are things with excursions in quarantine?

Good afternoon, if it doesn't get worse, you can safely go. Don’t worry about excursions, the guides know many places that are open even during a pandemic.
In Egypt, this is easier. But the main thing is not to fall for those who increase prices under the pretext that now everything has risen in price. Almost got caught up in this.
I found an excellent private agency, helped, organized excursions https://excursions-in-egypt.rf

Of the two areas listed at all, why go and pay for a visa. If you go to Egypt, then already in Sharm, you don’t need a visa there and there will be no expenses. In general, Egypt as a resort has worn out and exhausted itself. The hotels are dead and the staff is insolent, well, of course, if something goes to expensive hotels from the Rixos series. And there is nothing to do there. Someone will object and start (it's like I was in bad hotels, etc. and I was not lucky). I want to assure these skeptics that I have traveled far and wide in Egypt for more than a dozen years. How Kurot Egypt died and only those who have never been there and want to see the dead hotels with inventory and beaches before the dead service will be interested.

It is better to fly to Marsa Alam, there it is the least time to get to Luxor, but there you will depend on maintenance and the trip can be more expensive than from Hurghada. Do not listen to specialists like Nikk2 until the end of April, neither Hurghada nor Mars need a visa, Mars is a younger resort, where the hotel is often very far from the hotel, so there is only desert behind the hotel, but there are enough new hotels there.

Visa to Egypt is free until April 30, 2021.
Excursions to Luxor are conducted.
From Marsa, Luxor is the closest.

If Luxor is in Hurghada! Luxor is the ancient city of Thebes. Take excursions from the locals and everything will be ok.

Nikk2 First and foremost, people do not go to Egypt for service, although it can be found there. the main desire. they go there for the Red Sea, for its beauties, for the antiquities that this country keeps. And there are enough decent hotels. why mislead people?

If the purpose of the trip is Luxor, then it is logical to fly to Luxor, isn't it? There, in a leisurely mode with all the surroundings, you can have a very interesting and cultural rest for a week or longer. Cruise on the Nile to Aswan is also a good topic. And you don’t need any sea, it’s really very cool to relax in Luxor. Excellent hotel Steigenberger Nile Palace, I recommend.

For skeptics who claim that in Egypt all hotels are dead and without service, I suggest paying attention to inexpensive hotels with modern renovation and positive feedback on the service:
Albatros Palace Sharm,
Tropitel Waves,
Otium Pyramisa Sahl Hasheesh,
Albatros Sea World Marsa Alam,
Albatros Aqua Park...

Nikk2, what does "pay for a visa" mean? If you still do not know, the visa is now free of charge.
ollennka, tours to Luxor do not fly from Ukraine.
agent_borabora, from Marsa Alam is closer, but may be more expensive, as already mentioned.

Of course, it’s funny about Turkey, about Jordan, the question is where, the Dead Sea or the Gulf of Aqaba, if Aqaba, then it will already be cool there, and not everyone likes to relax in a resort where nothing can be carried, but everything must be bought on the territory of the hotel, Zanzibar is good when you fly on the Qatar, and not on the B-737 for 9 hours with an intermediate landing in Luxor, and you haven’t noticed something yet that Zanzibar would be cheaper on the Sky Up ball than on the Qatar or the Turkish.

It turns out that the problem is not in the choice of countries for recreation, but in the fact that someone is either too cold or too resort, then the airline is not suitable, then the sun is bright and the water is wet)
I wonder where these fabulously low prices for Qatar to Zanzibar for November, if Qatar Airways does not fly from Ukraine yet?

agent_borabora Last year they flew, if you don't know, and in 2018, and this year only Sky, and the Zanzibar service, if it differs in some way from the Egyptian one, then only at a higher price. I forgot to remind you that there is no Luxor in Zanzibar, just an old fort with turtles, and Freddie Mercury managed to be born in such a hole.

mindguru, there are hotels in Luxor, planes fly, it will not be difficult for a travel agency with direct hands to assemble a tour package.
Flying to Luxor with a connecting flight is much more convenient than taking a bus from Hurghada. Moreover, the person writes that Luxor is the main goal, a one-day gallop tour is not an option to get acquainted with this city.
Well, this is so, a lyrical digression. If the main goal is still the sea, then it is better to go to Hurghada.

"Travel Extravaganza " announces a direct charter to Mars Alam. This is the best option. And the sea is fabulous and the closest to Luxor, and European service, but prices are slightly higher than in Hurghada or Sharm.

Thanks everyone for the replies. We choose Egypt not because we want to go "somewhere", but specifically because of historical sights. Were in Sharm and in Jordan. Now we want a company and relax near the sea and see something. Thanks again everyone

On your topic. If you choose Marsa Alam consider a two day trip Aswan - Abu Simbel. True, now it will probably be problematic to organize it. Two years ago, in good pre-quarantine times, I hardly broke through it. Not enough people were recruited. But when there were already 4 people we were taken. Very interesting and rich tour.
