Best Driver in Luxor
We spent an amazing day with Salah exploring the West Bank in Luxor. Honestly, he’s one of the best drivers we’ve had in Egypt. He was just perfect, always smiling and very patient, even when my husband and I were a bit late in the morning. He took us to small hidden spots that weren’t included in the program, showed us many interesting places, and told us lots of stories about Egypt. We talked and laughed the whole day, it was truly unforgettable. Salah also gave us many helpful tips and advice for our trip. The whole experience was perfect from start to finish. We recommend him 1000%. Thank you for everything Salah.

A great East Bank tour
Great tour. Our guide "Hadley" was wonderful and we had a very comfortable car & our driver was very nice. The ancient sites were very impressive. Our guide Hadley was a wealth of knowledge and very friendly. He answered all our questions and was very helpful with talking pictures (and very creative at it too). Thank you for a great day!

Day Tour to East and West Bank with Transfer to Aswan or Hurghada: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Day Tour to East and West Bank with Transfer to Aswan or Hurghada cost?
+
Prices start at $50 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 Day Tour to East and West Bank with Transfer to Aswan or Hurghada take?
+
Plan for about 12 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 Day Tour to East and West Bank with Transfer to Aswan or Hurghada worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 46 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 Day Tour to East and West Bank with Transfer to Aswan or Hurghada?
+
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 Day Tour to East and West Bank with Transfer to Aswan or Hurghada suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Day Tour to East and West Bank with Transfer to Aswan or Hurghada?
+
Around 16 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Day Tour to East and West Bank with Transfer to Aswan or Hurghada 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.
