    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.

    Active
    Best time
    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.

    Pace
    Easy
    Best time
    Early in your Luxor stay, to leave a spare morning if weather cancels the flight

    Our advice: Book it for your first Luxor morning, so a weather cancellation still leaves you a second chance.
