Half-day tour
Luxor West Bank: Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut
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.
- On the road
- Short drives on the West Bank
- At the sites
- Most of the 5–6 hours
Starting priceUSD 70Day tour
Luxor East and West Bank Private Day Tour
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.
- On the road
- Short drives and one Nile crossing
- At the sites
- Most of the 8 hours
Starting priceUSD 70Activity
Luxor Hot Air Balloon at Sunrise
Book it for your first Luxor morning, so a weather cancellation still leaves you a second chance.
- On the road
- Short transfer to the launch site before dawn
- At the sites
- About 45 minutes of flight
Starting priceUSD 119Day tour
Luxor Day Trip from Cairo by Flight
The best way to see Luxor from Cairo in one day, and still a long day. One night in Luxor is better.
- On the road
- A domestic flight each way, plus airport transfers
- At the sites
- Most of the day in Luxor, between flights
Starting priceUSD 370Day tour
Luxor Day Trip from Hurghada: Karnak, the Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut
A long day. If you can, spend a night in Luxor instead and see both banks without the road.
- On the road
- Several hours by road each way from Hurghada
- At the sites
- About 6 hours in Luxor
Starting priceUSD 135Day tour
Dendera and Abydos Day Trip from Luxor: the Temples of Seti I and Hathor
Visit Abydos first and Dendera on the way back. At Dendera, buy the roof and crypt tickets: they hold what the temple was for.
- On the road
- Long drives north: Dendera is about 70 km from Luxor, and Abydos lies further on
- At the sites
- The rest of the day inside the two temples, Abydos first
Starting priceUSD 80Half-day tour
Luxor's Other West Bank: the Tombs of the Nobles, Deir el-Medina and Medinet Habu
Take this after the Valley of the Kings, not instead of it: it makes more sense once you have seen the royal tombs these people built.
- On the road
- Short drives between three sites on the West Bank
- At the sites
- About 4 hours, most of it at the sites
Starting priceUSD 92Nile cruise
Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor: 3 Nights
Judge a cruise by the boat's name and the hours ashore, not its star label. Ask for both before you book.
- On the road
- Sailing between sites; short transfers ashore
- At the sites
- Guided visits at every stop, set by the river schedule
Starting priceUSD 670Nile cruise
Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan: 4 Nights
Four nights instead of three buys a whole day for Luxor's West Bank, the part of a cruise most often rushed. Judge the ship by its name and the hours ashore, not its star label.
- On the road
- Sailing between sites; short transfers ashore
- At the sites
- Guided visits every day, set by the river schedule
Starting priceUSD 800Multi-day tour
6 Days in Egypt: Cairo and Luxor by Sleeper Train
The sleeper train is what makes six days enough. If a night on a train is not for you, ask for domestic flights instead, and expect the quote to change.
- On the road
- Two nights on the sleeper train between Cairo and Luxor
- At the sites
- Four full days of sightseeing
Starting priceUSD 1,075Multi-day tour
7 Days in Egypt: Cairo, Luxor, Aswan and Abu Simbel by Sleeper Train
Seven days reaches Abu Simbel without rushing Cairo only because two nights are on the train. If sleeping on a train is not for you, ask for the flight upgrade.
- On the road
- Two nights on the sleeper train and one road day from Luxor to Aswan
- At the sites
- Four full days of sightseeing
Starting priceUSD 975Multi-day tour
8 Days in Egypt: Cairo, Luxor and the Red Sea at Hurghada
The two road days are the price of ending at the sea. If you would rather fly home from Hurghada, ask: many airlines fly there directly, and the quote can end the trip on the coast.
- On the road
- One domestic flight and two long road days: about 3½ hours from Luxor to Hurghada and 5 from Hurghada to Cairo
- At the sites
- Two full days of sightseeing, then three free days by the sea
Starting priceUSD 1,175Multi-day tour
10 Days in Egypt: Cairo and a Nile Cruise, with Flights
Flying the long legs is what makes this route work: the days go to the sites, not the road.
- On the road
- Two domestic flights; short transfers
- At the sites
- Guided visits on days 2–7
Starting priceUSD 1,675Multi-day tour
10 Days in Egypt: the Pyramids, a Nile Cruise and Sharm el-Sheikh
The price leaves out the two domestic flights, so compare it with other tours only once the quote adds them. In return you get the Nile and the Red Sea in one trip.
- On the road
- One night on the sleeper train, three nights sailing, and two domestic flights to and from Sharm el-Sheikh
- At the sites
- Five days of sightseeing, then three free days by the sea
Starting priceUSD 1,675Day tour
Luxor in a Day from Sharm el-Sheikh, by Flight

- On the road
- A domestic flight each way, plus airport transfers
- At the sites
- Most of the day in Luxor, between flights
Starting priceUSD 380
