I read the road from Safaga to Luxor is open from 6.00 am to 6.00 pm for tourists.

 

Can private tours depart straight away when ready or do they go in a convoy at set time.

 

I was hoping to depart by 6.30 am on private tour on Upcoming cruise.

 

What time would private tours leave Luxor for the return trip to ship that departs at 10.00 pm in April.

Hello

1-yes you can depart straight away after you finish you procedure at the port if you booked a private transfer (check with your agent that both tour and transfer are private) if you did not book yet you can choose from TripAdvisor

note : it will be cheaper if you contact an agent directly (check their reviews befor booking)

 

2- usually the private tours leave Luxor between 3 or 4pm the road takes around 3 hours drive

Any hotels in Safaga do day passes for cruise passengers

actually you can get you visa just in port and you are free to get out of the port. but I advice you not to spend you precious time in a hotel you have two options Snorkeling in Safaga or Luxor day tour(recommended)

sorry for late replay :)
