East Bank - Karnak and Luxor Temple Tour
Great experience with Salwa, she was very knowledgeable helpful throughout the tour. We also had a delicious lunch. The car was clean and comfortable with A/C.

Great for solo
I worked with Ahmed and kassem, it was great! I went solo, so they were able to be flexible and stay longer/shorter depending on what I wanted. Very easy to get along with and felt like I was working with professionals. Would definitely recommend!

Smooth Operator to the East Bank
This was a lovely excursion to both Luxor and the Karnak Temples. At Luxor Temple our guide gave us great detail on the site and its key locations alongside passion for taking photos to capture the special moments!. Though at Karnak the enthusiasm was'nt as high, only taking us down the central main path, when we was expecting to get a more fuller guide of the complex to the left & right. Ramsesses III & Temple of Khonsu for example. Overall though this was a good way to visit the temples if you're far out from Luxor city.

Getting a Good Driver Is Pure Luck
* Any requests you make when booking are not passed on to the driver, so you’ll need to discuss them directly with the driver on the day of the tour. * Bottled water is not provided. This was also the case on other Viator tours I took. * The driver may rush you, try to take you to souvenir shops, and keep talking to you throughout the tour, which can become quite annoying. * The driver speaks very little English, so communication can be difficult. However, Uber is not available in Luxor, so if you want to visit these sites independently, booking a private driver like this is essentially your only practical option. I hope you get a good driver. Don’t hesitate to say “No” clearly and firmly if you’re not interested.

Luxor trip
Salwa was our tour guide for the day and we were very happy with how knowledgeable she is, she also prioritized the most important key points of our visit since we were short in time. She explained everything and answered all our questions into detail. She also has a great and kind energy, our driver was very kind as well. Overall I would recommend this experience to whoever is interested in knowing more about this magnificent place.

Custom day tour the East Bank in Luxor: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Custom day tour the East Bank in Luxor cost?
+
Prices start at $5 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 Custom day tour the East Bank in Luxor take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Custom day tour the East Bank in Luxor worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 85 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 119 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Luxor, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Custom day tour the East Bank in Luxor?
+
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 Custom day tour the East Bank in Luxor suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Custom day tour the East Bank in Luxor?
+
Around 42 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Custom day tour the East Bank in Luxor 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 Tour to West bank, Private Half Day Luxor Tour Valley of Kings & Queens, Hatshepsut, 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.
