    Love it so much I've stayed in the stables all day!

    The owner Nobi is very attentive and kind. Hugan( I hope the spelling is correct) the guide is very professional and has a lot of patience. I have done three rides with him in a day. All different routes with beautiful scenery. I feel so alive while on the horse. I rode two horses on these three trips. Both are very clean ( just had a shower!) and obedient. Safety is guaranteed. I am sure I will be back soon!

    Turned up very late and unable to contact

    Arrived 1 hr 16 mins after agreed time. Failed to reply to messages or give any warning. Phone number went to a medical office, so we assumed it was a scam

    Did not turn up and a scam

    I would give zero if the system allowed. Do not book, it is a scam. Tour operator confirmed so we did not cancel and then did not turn up or answer messages. The phone number went to a local medical centre who said they got a lot of calls for this ‘tour company’

    Be careful when booking this trip

    The camel ride was ok, from the point of view of riding on one. However, there were a couple of things that took away from the experience: the “guides” seem to never be happy with their tips (even though we tipped fairly), which ruins the end of the experience, but we would really warn women about the tour company. The guy that picked us up from the hotel took a picture of me (female) while we were waiting for the rest of my family at the hotel lobby. Now, a couple of weeks after our return home, he’s contacted me on WhatsApp, sending me 3 messages: “hi” “how are you” “ I miss you so much”. Totally inappropriate and unprofessional.

    Yusuf, the 15 year old boy, who was leading the camel, Rhamses Ii.

    This program is really unforgettable. My tour representative Isham Ahmed is a professional and extremely nice person. He even videod me while riding the camel. He taught me some Arabic words for incense and fish and car. Thank you for this unforgettable experience.

    Camel or Horse ride on west bank: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Camel or Horse ride on west bank cost?

    +

    Prices start at $24 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 Camel or Horse ride on west bank take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 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 Camel or Horse ride on west bank worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 26 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 Camel or Horse ride on west bank?

    +

    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 Camel or Horse ride on west bank suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Camel or Horse ride on west bank?

    +

    Around 9 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Camel or Horse ride on west bank 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 Camel or Horse ride on west bank?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; 1-Hour camel or horse ride; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Camel or Horse ride on west bank include hotel pickup?

    +

    +
