About Luxor Day Tours
Luxor, ancient Thebes, has more monuments than anywhere else in Egypt. The East Bank holds Karnak and Luxor Temple; across the Nile, the West Bank has the Valley of the Kings, the temple of Hatshepsut and the Colossi of Memnon.
All our Luxor tours are private, with hotel or Nile-cruise pick-up and an Egyptologist guide. Do the East and West Banks in one full day, add the sunrise balloon over the West Bank, or go further to Dendera, Abydos, Edfu and Kom Ombo.
Questions
Questions about Luxor Day Tours
Something else on your mind? Message us on WhatsApp and a person on our team will answer.
Ask on WhatsAppAre your day tours private?
Yes. The car and the guide are for your group only. The price per person goes down as the group gets bigger.
Do you pick up from Nile cruise ships?
Yes. We pick up from hotels and from cruise ships docked in Luxor and Aswan. Send us the ship's name and your free hours and we plan around the ship's timetable.
Can I add day tours to my cruise?
Yes. The most popular add-ons are the Abu Simbel trip from Aswan and the sunrise balloon over Luxor. We can also book a day tour before or after the cruise and pick you up from the ship.
How do I get to Luxor or Aswan?
Both cities have airports with daily flights from Cairo (about an hour), and there is an overnight sleeper train. We can book the flight and pick you up from the airport, the station or your hotel.
