    Want a great visit in Luxor? Have Samar be your guide!

    On January 25th and 26th this year we had the pleasure of having Samar as our guide in Luxor. She was superb. We started with a great intro day at Karnak and the Luxor Temple. Even better the next day at Valley of the Kings. Not only did she give insightful presentations (in perfect English) but she also has a wonderful sense of humor! Samar was very patient about indulging us by taking lots of pictures of my wife and I at various sites. She also gave good restaurant recommendations in Luxor as well and gave my wife great shopping suggestions. In sum, if you're traveling in Luxor, try to arrange for Samar to be your guide- she will immeasurably enhance your visit.

    Perfect Luxor Tour with Sumhar and Mohamed

    Sumhar was our guide for a 2-day tour in Luxor, and she was fantastic! Super friendly, motivated, and full of great explanations. She even took us to try the local fast food, which we loved! We visited the Temple of Hatshepsut, the Valley of the Kings, Karnak, and Luxor Temple. A big thank-you as well to our great driver, Mohamed Ramadan :) Highly recommended!

    Two days Luxor, Luxor temple, Karnak temple, hatsheptut temple, valley of kings, ramses Temple

    Fantastic guide in Luxor - Samhar, we could call her Summer 🌞 is an absolute must! We had an unforgettable time in Luxor, and that is in large part thanks to our wonderful guide, Summer. What an incredibly warm and cordial woman! From the moment we met her, we immediately felt at ease. Her English is really perfect; she speaks fluently and very clearly, which allowed us to follow everything in detail. What really sets Summer apart is her phenomenal knowledge. She knows so much about all the sites we visited, from the temples to the tombs in the Valley of the Kings. She not only told the facts, but really brought history to life with compelling stories and context. No question was too much for her. But most of all, she took fantastic care of us. She was attentive, took into account our pace, made sure we always had water in the heat and arranged everything perfectly. She is a guide who clearly does her job with heart and soul. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, friendly and caring guide in Luxor, look no further. Summer has made our trip truly special! Thanks again, Anna and Nicholas (Ankie and Niek)

    Response from the operator: I can't thank you enough for your kindness and sweetness Anna & Nick. I truly enjoyed your company and had an amazing time being your guide. It was a great pleasure to me.

    Splendor in Egypt

    A REVIEW OF OXEN OF EGYPT TOURS Through our many travels, my wife and I have learned that no matter how grand the destination, a superb tour guide will bring a destination to life and make a trip that much more memorable. Such a guide is Samar. Her warm, open personality (and humor) alone makes the tour thoroughly enjoyable. But it is her knowledge and presentation that elevate the excursion to a higher level. Her English is impeccable and full of nuance that makes the tour more intimate and less rote. Her mastery of Egyptian history is expansive, enthusiastic, and not only includes description and interpretation but a deep appreciation of the art. She was tour guide and art docent but quickly also became a friend to us both. Samar lives life enthusiastically and her joy is infectious. Samar guided us through the Luxor, Karnak, and Habu temples as well as the tombs in the Valley of the Kings and Valley of the Nobles. She joined us as we cruised the Nile on a luxurious Dahabiya and visited the temples at Abydos, Dendera (not to be missed on any visit to Upper Egypt), and Kom Ombos. We stayed in a Nubian village at Abu Simbel, perhaps the most majestic of the ancient structures. Samar was thorough yet afforded us “free” time to do things on our own or relax. She negotiated with vendors to ensure that we bought souvenirs at a fair price. She enjoyed the delectable foods of Egypt with us at every meal, bringing her joie de vive to the occasion and ensuring that we fell in love with Egyptian cuisine. And she willingly discussed modern Egyptian life with the interested tourist. We highly recommend Samar as your tour guide in Egypt. And lucky will be the visitor who follows our recommendation.

    Response from the operator: I am truly speechless from reading your amazing review Rick. Being your guide was a great pleasure for me. I truly appreciate it a lot. Thank you so much.

    Amazing tour 😊

    I had an amazing time on this tour. We did so many fun things and everything was arranged perfectly. I have travelled a lot and Samar is my favorite person I’ve met traveling. Her English is perfect and She’s so friendly, knowledgeable, sweet, funny, and nice. I will miss Egypt and I will miss her.

    Explore Luxor in 2 days by plane from Cairo with tours,balloon, felucca & Lunch.: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Explore Luxor in 2 days by plane from Cairo with tours,balloon, felucca & Lunch. cost?

    +

    Prices start at $600 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 Explore Luxor in 2 days by plane from Cairo with tours,balloon, felucca & Lunch. take?

    +

    Plan for about 48 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 Explore Luxor in 2 days by plane from Cairo with tours,balloon, felucca & Lunch. worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Luxor, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Explore Luxor in 2 days by plane from Cairo with tours,balloon, felucca & Lunch.?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Explore Luxor in 2 days by plane from Cairo with tours,balloon, felucca & Lunch. suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Explore Luxor in 2 days by plane from Cairo with tours,balloon, felucca & Lunch.?

    +

    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 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Explore Luxor in 2 days by plane from Cairo with tours,balloon, felucca & Lunch. 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), Private Half day Tour to West bank. 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.
