- Best time
- October to April; start at 8 am in any season
Our advice: Stay in Luxor and start here at 8 am. It is the single best reason not to do Luxor as a day trip from the coast.
If this is not the right day for it: Want Karnak and Luxor Temple the same day? Take the full-day East and West Bank tour.

- October to April; in summer, split the two banks over two mornings
Our advice: The right way to see Luxor in a day, and far better than the long road trip from the Red Sea. Two mornings are better still.
If this is not the right day for it: With two days in Luxor, take the West Bank morning tour one day and explore Karnak at leisure the next.
