Valley of the Kings
During your stay in Luxor, you will have the chance to explore the awe-inspiring Valley of the Kings, which served as the original burial site of the young Pharaoh Tutankhamun. The tombs, intricately carved into the rocky desert terrain, are lavishly adorned with treasures intended for the afterlife of the Pharaohs. You will have the opportunity to visit three tombs, although the specific tombs are determined by the Egyptian government in order to preserve them from the large influx of visitors. The tombs are rotated throughout the year, so it is not possible to confirm which ones will be visited prior to your arrival. It is worth noting that King Tut's tomb requires an additional admission fee. Later, you will enjoy a lunch consisting of a falafel sandwich, one bottle of water, and a soft drink.

This impressive temple, dedicated to the only female Pharaoh, Queen Hatshepsut, is situated on a series of terraces that merge seamlessly with the sheer limestone cliffs of the desert plain. Afterward, on the return journey, there will be a stop-off at the Colossi of Memnon. These are two colossal statues that depict Amenophis III and face the Nile.

The Karnak Temple

Thorough Tours with a Personal Touch
I appreciated how easy it was to make the travel arrangements. Mohammed took care of it all and made sure to confirm the details with me multiple times. As far as the tour, Mahmoud was our friendly driver and Safa was out tour guide. Mahmoud went out of his way to minimize travel time, even by paying an unofficial toll on new routes in Luxor. Thanks, Mahmoud! And Safa, hope I’m spelling her name correctly, she could write a book of information on the sites and the culture. She knew so much! She made sure everything was easy to understand and that I left the tour with more than just a high level understanding. Others around us would sometimes listen in on her explanations, because she was that good! I wish I had more time for this tour, as they were able to offer even more activities that weren’t even listed! That included visiting a local Souk! But my overall trip was ending, so I needed to head back home. The tour company operator Mohamed, met me at the end of the tour and sat with me for coffee, which was unexpected. . He really makes sure to add a personal touch and to show his appreciation! I recommend this tour to anyone.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind words and positive feedback. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed our services and had a wonderful time in Egypt. We appreciate your trust and support, and we hope to see you again soon. 😊

Enriching and Awe-inspiring
I had an excellent experience with my guide Samah. The tour included the Valley of thd Kings, and Temples of Hatshepsut on the West bank, and Karnak and Luxor temples on the east bank. Samah was very knowledgeable and did an excellent job explaining the various sites.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind words and positive feedback. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed our services and had a wonderful time in Egypt. We appreciate your trust and support, and we hope to see you again soon. 😊

Full-Day Luxor private Tour from Cairo by Plane with Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Full-Day Luxor private Tour from Cairo by Plane with Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $540 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cairo 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 private Tour from Cairo by Plane with Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 11.5 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 Cairo is not rushed.
Is Full-Day Luxor private Tour from Cairo by Plane with Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 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 Cairo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full-Day Luxor private Tour from Cairo by Plane with Lunch?
+
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 private Tour from Cairo by Plane with Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full-Day Luxor private Tour from Cairo by Plane with Lunch?
+
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 Cairo 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 Cairo and add a light layer if any part of the 11.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full-Day Luxor private Tour from Cairo by Plane with 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 Cairo 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 Cairo?
+
On Outty we rank every Cairo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include All-in-One Giza Tour, inside Pyramid, sphinx, Camel ride & lunch, VIP Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx Tour –Inside the Pyramids&More, Best of Cairo Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx and Grand Museum Tour. 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 Cairo?
+
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 Cairo?
+
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.
