Amazing trip to Luxors Tombs and Temples
We booked a five-day trip to Luxor and it was absolutely amazing! Our tour guide was Nahla and she was really fantastic. She arranged everything (individual program) and she knows so much. It was so much fun to listen to all her stories. I would definitvely recommend this tour to everybody. Thanks for an amazing trip!

A Fantastic Trip to Luxor and the Wonders of Ancient Egypt
I booked a five-day trip to Luxor with Nahla via the Tours by Locals website. I am so glad I came and stayed in Luxor as I was able to explore the area with Nahla's help and expertise. There is so much to see in the area that I can't pick just one highlight - so I will give a brief summary of the places visited and seen. It is worth noting that you could do this trip in fewer than five days and Nahla could easily sort that out for you - it wouldn't be too rushed, either. In addition to the tour, Nahla arranged airport transfers, a felucca ride and a balloon ride (fantastic!) - a sound & light show as well as a horse & buggy ride were also offered but I declined - but indicates that Nahla can pretty much arrange anything you want to see and do. Day One: a visit to the Valley of the Kings (note: no photography allowed - daft but they're strict and it isn't the end of the world) - I opted to visit the Tomb of Ramses 6th, which is only an extra LE80 (about £3.50 / $4.30 at time of writing) - well worth it. I didn't opt for Tutankhamen's tomb as the treasures found there are on display at the excellent Egyptian Museum in Cairo and there's a replica at Howard Carter's house. After that we visited the Temple of Queen Hatshesput and then the Colossi of Memnon. Day Two started with the balloon ride - pick-up at 05.15 and back to the hotel by about 08.30 - it was a great experience - very enjoyable. Perfect weather and a perfect landing! After that it was a visit to the astonishing Temple at Karnak complex followed by the Luxor Temple. Day Three and we started with the Habu Temple (or Medinat Habu), which I'd flown over in the balloon ride and then on to the Ramesseum - where Nahla told me about Shelley's poem Ozymandias - which to my shame I hadn't heard of! We finished off with the Tombs of the Nobles. Day Four and we drove out to the city of Qena (about 60km from Luxor) and visited the nearby Temple of Dendara - another astonishing temple complex. Day Five and we went to the Valley of the Queens. A ticket to visit the restored tomb of Nefertari cost LE1,000 (around £43.50 / $54 at time of writing) - I thought it was worth it to get a real idea of how incredibly ornate and beautifully decorated these tombs were. Nearby is the Deir el-Medina, where the remains of the artisans houses can be seen as well as a terrific temple of Hathor - with some wonderful images of gods, goddesses and hieroglyphics - very colourful. We finished at Howard Carter's house & museum (complete with the replica of Tutankhamen's tomb). As I mentioned, Nahla organised and arranged the trip - it was extremely good value especially as the cost of the balloon and felucca rides were included. Everything worked out well and Nahla was able to explain all the history and stories - bringing everything to life and making it enjoyable as well as fascinating. Some of the sights here are just mesmerising. If you are planning to spend a few days in Luxor then I would certainly recommend Nahla - who will show you the wonders of this area - sort out any extra trips and activities you want to do - and make sure you have a fantastic and truly memorable time.

Amazing experience with Egyptraveluxe!!!!
My cousin and I had such a positive experience touring Egypt with Egyptraveluxe tours! Our guide, Nahla, made this experience so incredible with her knowledge and passion for the history of Egypt and all of the sites we visited (see below). In Luxor we went to Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple, Tombs of the Nobles, and Temple of Queen Hatshepsut. On the drive to Aswan we stopped at Temple of Edfu and in Aswan we went to Temple of Philae Nahla was very flexible and made sure we got around of all of the sites we wanted to visit (we were able to fit in all of the above sites in 3 days). I highly recommend using Egyptraveluxe (specifically Nahla) when visiting Egypt - I learned so much from our guide- she made this experience so easy and so much fun (at a very reasonable price too!)
Response from the operator: Thank you Coley and I was so happy to be your guide during your Egypt trip and thank you for the complement looking to see you in Egypt and this time you do the Nile cruise as you always dreamed and our company will always be in your service and fulfill your dreams ! Nahla

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Explore Luxor west bank in a full day tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Explore Luxor west bank in a full day tour cost?
+
Prices start at $200 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 west bank in a full day tour take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 west bank in a full day tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Explore Luxor west bank in a full day tour?
+
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 Explore Luxor west bank in a full day tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Explore Luxor west bank in a full day tour?
+
Around 1 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Explore Luxor west bank in a full day tour 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.
