2.4 day tour of Luxor and Dendera Temple
We booked via Egypt1Tours. Our guide, Sara was informative and provided detailed context and historical references for all the stops we covered over 2.5 days. Day 1 we visited Karnak and Luxor Temple. Day 2 we covered Dendera temple. Day 2 we covered Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, Memnon, and Habu with a lunch break. All the sites we covered Sara made sure we had the context and stories before reaching it. Guides are unable to enter the Valley of the King tombs so she provided info outside before entering. We really appreciated her meticulous storytelling. We highly recommend her. The only hiccup was more with the tour company. They initially noted we could pay for it via credit card and payment link and when time came to pay they noted bank issues and asked for cash. It required push back before they then set up payment at an Alabaster factory shopping spot to utilize the PO system. However, they also converted first from usd to egp before transacting which leads to slightly higher markup on what was the usd agreed price. That was a bit annoying but this is no fault of the guide. We do highly recommend Sara A.

A once in a lifetime experience!
What an absolutely incredible and unforgettable experience exploring the ancient wonders of Luxor with my amazing guide Abu Thebes. Abu was very professional and knowledgeable. He was patient and took time to explain all the little details. From the fascinating royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings and the breathtaking Temple of Hatshepsut to the towering Colossi of Memnon, the magnificent Karnak Temple and the magical Luxor Temple, every stop left us in awe. Abu made my trip to Luxor a truly magical, once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Abu is great!
When we booked a tour, we were concerned a bit because the reviews were too high. After the tour, we realized why everyone gave them 5 stars. Recommended 100% for sure if you are looking for a tour in West Luxor. Abu is a great guide. He has lots of friends at each site and one of his friends gave us complimentary souvenir just because Abu was our guide😂

Full Day Tour:Valley of the Kings &Queens &Hatshepsut Temple&more: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Full Day Tour:Valley of the Kings &Queens &Hatshepsut Temple&more cost?
+
Prices start at $11 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:Valley of the Kings &Queens &Hatshepsut Temple&more take?
+
Plan for about 7 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:Valley of the Kings &Queens &Hatshepsut Temple&more worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 88 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 128 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Luxor, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full Day Tour:Valley of the Kings &Queens &Hatshepsut Temple&more?
+
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:Valley of the Kings &Queens &Hatshepsut Temple&more suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full Day Tour:Valley of the Kings &Queens &Hatshepsut Temple&more?
+
Around 45 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full Day Tour:Valley of the Kings &Queens &Hatshepsut Temple&more 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 Tour to West bank, Private Half Day Luxor Tour Valley of Kings & Queens, Hatshepsut, 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.
