    It is a must!

    If you are going to Luxor, you should take the Luxor East and West Bank tour with Egypt Gift Tours. They are very well-organized and our tour guide Hattem has a lot of knowledge about the temples' history and the whole area. He explained us in very detail and also with updated information. One of the big advantages is that you can discuss with them timings, which allows you to wake up a little earlier or latter and to have more time alone (or with less people in the places). Also, you can have your own free time to roam, and not depending from other groups makes the experience more relax and interesting. They really adapt to your needs to make the experience unforgettable. If we come back to Luxor, we for sure will repeat the experience with them.

    Response from the operator: Dear Elisabet, we're thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed your Luxor East and West Bank tour! We're glad Hattem and the team could tailor the experience to your liking. Looking forward to your next visit.

    So good I came back one of the best and more complete tours in Luxor

    I did this tour in 2019 when i was working in egypt In 2023, when I decided to come back to visit the country I took the same tour with my girlfriend, because I knew they are the best. I was gladly surprised that not only the explanation was on point, but that Hatem had new information from all the sites, impressive new finding that in some places (Hatshepsut temple) they changed the experience! Egypt gift Tours have a really solid team and they have been working hard for a long time, I would recommend them 100%! Not only how they explain guide you through the places and give you advice, ah well on top they might know where the best feteers in Luxor are, if you want to eat some local ask away they are a really sweet team.

    Response from the operator: Dear AmonteroC, we're thrilled you enjoyed your tour and chose to return. Our team prides itself on providing up-to-date information and impeccable service. We look forward to hosting you again!

    Best experience in Luxor and in Egypt

    If you have plans to visit Luxor, you MUST book with Hatem. He is super friendly and knowledgeable about the area. He knows the best place to eat and the best sights to see. We had a day full of adventure and I cannot recommend his tour enough. This is a great value and you will certainly not regret it. You are able to cover basically everything there is to see in Luxor. The Canuck sailing experience was also a great way to cool down after a day spent exploring all of the history that Luxor has to offer. I cannot recommend Hatem and his tour enough!

    Great well rounded tour

    Fantastic time with Hatem who was clear and hit all the high points efficiently and purposefully. Great lunch and would encourage the added boat ride after lunch across the Nile rather than the drive around. Be sure to bring cash for entry as some of the sites had non working credit card machines.

    Amazing Luxor East and West Bank Guided Tour with Lunch From Luxor Airport/Hotel: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.

    How much does Amazing Luxor East and West Bank Guided Tour with Lunch From Luxor Airport/Hotel cost?

    +

    Prices start at $100 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Luxor usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Amazing Luxor East and West Bank Guided Tour with Lunch From Luxor Airport/Hotel take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Luxor is not rushed.

    Is Amazing Luxor East and West Bank Guided Tour with Lunch From Luxor Airport/Hotel worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Luxor, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Amazing Luxor East and West Bank Guided Tour with Lunch From Luxor Airport/Hotel?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Amazing Luxor East and West Bank Guided Tour with Lunch From Luxor Airport/Hotel suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Amazing Luxor East and West Bank Guided Tour with Lunch From Luxor Airport/Hotel?

    +

    Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Luxor can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Luxor and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Amazing Luxor East and West Bank Guided Tour with Lunch From Luxor Airport/Hotel start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Luxor within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Luxor?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Luxor experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Half Day Luxor Tour Valley of Kings & Queens, Hatshepsut, Full Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor (Private), Full Day Tour of Luxor private. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Luxor?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Luxor?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Amazing Luxor East and West Bank Guided Tour with Lunch From Luxor Airport/Hotel?
