Luxor, Valley of the Kings and Karnak
Awesome day trip. Driver picked us up at our Cairo hotel at 03.45 am with our boarding passes. Flight from Giza to Luxor was under an hour. Our Guide and driver was waiting for us when we arrived at the Luxor Airport. First stop was Valley of the Kings and our ticket allowed us to visit 3 tombs. You will need, water, good walking shoes and there are lots of steps inside the tombs - some quite steep - but the experience is not to be missed. Our guide Mohammed Hassan was extremely knowledgeable. He was personable and passionate about his work and culture and we learned so much. He was flexible and after lunch we were able to add an unplanned boat trip on the Nile to our day. At the end of our day we were driven to the airport and Mohammed checked on us later to make sure we boarded our plane. Our driver picked us up in Cairo for our drive back to our hotel. It is certainly a long day, but efficiently managed and a memory for a lifetime. thanks
Response from the operator: Thank you for the kind words,! We’re so happy your visit at Egypt went so smoothly. Would you mind sharing with your friends who are due for a check-up, too? We’d love to continue providing great service to awesome patients like you.

Full-Day Luxor Highlights Tour: East and West Banks: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Full-Day Luxor Highlights Tour: East and West Banks cost?
+
Prices start at $80 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 Full-Day Luxor Highlights Tour: East and West Banks take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Full-Day Luxor Highlights Tour: East and West Banks worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 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 Full-Day Luxor Highlights Tour: East and West Banks?
+
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 Full-Day Luxor Highlights Tour: East and West Banks suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full-Day Luxor Highlights Tour: East and West Banks?
+
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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full-Day Luxor Highlights Tour: East and West Banks 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 Full-Day Luxor Highlights Tour: East and West Banks?
+

Does Full-Day Luxor Highlights Tour: East and West Banks include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 60 listed pickup locations in and around Luxor. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Full-Day Luxor Highlights Tour: East and West Banks offered in?
+
It is offered in German, English, Italian, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
