Here’s one of my email exchange with Safwat (my Egyptologist guide) that may help explain the logistics:Ah, so you had a driver AND a guide. Nice. Ok, that makes more sense. I'll be sure to give them a shout and see what itinerary they can figure out. Thanks!
“Hello Dan :
Thanks a lot for your kind and detailed email.
Sure we can provide all the requested service but for exact prices and details I'll need to know the following:
We need to know the number of passengers on the transfers and on the trip to Luxor.
We can organize a transfer for you from Hurghada Airport to the place you will spend your time in till noon (we need the name of the place where you want to be dropped off) and then we can organize the transfer from Hurghada city to Port Ghalib marina.
Finally for the last day trip to Luxor it should start from Port Ghalib around 4:00 am to do the following itinerary and back to Hurghada around 9 or 10 pmwhich is enough time before the flight.

If Safwat still guiding, please give my regards to him.
Don’t forget to bring an unlocked phone to be used while you are in Egypt. The driver will give you a local simcard so you can communicate with them after he picked you up on arrival at Hurghada airport.
