From the southern resorts
The resorts south of Hurghada are closer to the Safaga road to Luxor, so the Luxor car day is a little shorter than from Hurghada town. The Cairo coach collects Makadi and Sahl Hasheesh first, around 02:30, before Hurghada.

By private car: pickup between 04:30 and 05:30, 3.5 to 4 hours to Luxor with a rest stop, the tour with your Egyptologist, and back at the hotel between 20:00 and 21:00.
