    Best option to see Luxor

    Amazing trip! Got picked up by the bus at the hotel in Marsa Alam at 4:00. The drivers incredibly nice, they were getting us water at each stop and one time even ice cream! :) It was a private tour so the whole van was for us and the guide waited for us in Luxor. The trip was pretty intense because there were a lot of things to see and during the trip we visited three extra places : - the House of Parfumes - the House of Papyrus - and at Luxor the Alabaster factory Be prepared to take a lot of money with you because you definitely won’t leave empty handed and since those are not street markets, the prices are higher :) Also the lunch was provided in a very nice restaurant. There is also an option to buy a cruise through Nile that can get you to the other side of the river to continue seeing Luxor, 15 euro per person, we decided to do it and it was a very good choice, was very cool to see the Nile from that perspective 😊 We got back to the hotel at 21:00. Very easy to book and definitely filled all of the expectations, I definitely recommend it, the best option to see Luxor!

    Hurghada to Luxor by private transfer

    We travelled as two couples, family friends who came on holiday together. The trip was amazing, Hoda our guide made us feel welcome. She explained the itinerary and suggested additional stops that we might enjoy. Hoda gave us a very clear explanation of the places we visited. Was insightful and anticipated what we might enjoy seeing more of. It was excellent and I would recommend travelling with this company and having Hoda as a guide to anyone. I didn’t mention that the drivers were courteous and looked after us too. Having two drivers made me feel safe too. I really enjoyed the journey in the car from Hurghada to Luxor and seeing the farm life on the way.

    Response from the operator: Dear guest, Thank you so much for your great review and for spending your valuable time describing your adventure with us. You are always welcome in our agency at any time. Also for your recommendation, our agency Marsa Alam tours and the whole team wish you good luck and we are waiting for your next trip to Egypt (the land of the pharaohs) with special offers for you. I wish you all the best wishes

    Full-Day Tour of the East and West Banks from Luxor: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Full-Day Tour of the East and West Banks from Luxor cost?

    +

    Prices start at €40 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 Tour of the East and West Banks from Luxor take?

    +

    Plan for about 24 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 Tour of the East and West Banks from Luxor worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 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 Full-Day Tour of the East and West Banks from Luxor?

    +

    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 Tour of the East and West Banks from Luxor suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 24-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Full-Day Tour of the East and West Banks from Luxor?

    +

    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 24-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Full-Day Tour of the East and West Banks from Luxor 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.
