      Every visit to Luxor's West Bank is complete with a stop at the impressive Valley of the Kings. For centuries, this area was the final resting place for powerful pharaohs and their families. Here you will explore ancient tombs chiseled into the desert cliffs and adorned with artful decorations. Your guide will unravel tales of jealousy, power, and betrayal associated with these magnificent structures

    3. Temple of Hatshepsut

      Located beneath massive cliffs near the west bank of the Nile, the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, also known as Deir el Bahri, is dedicated to Amon-Ra, the sun god. Designed by an architect named Senemut, the temple is unique because it was designed like classical architecture. Note the lengthy, colonnaded terrace some of which are 97 ft high, pylons, courts, and hypostyle hall. Inside you'll see the sun court, chapel and sanctuary. Temple reliefs depict the tale of the divine birth of Hatshepsut and trade expeditions to the Land of Punt

    4. Colossi of Memnon

      On your way to visit the West Bank of Luxor, you will come across the two gigantic statues known as the Colossi of Memnon. These two gigantic figures of Amenhotep III were originally situated in front of his Mortuary temple, which seems to have been destroyed for unknown reasons. Each colossus is about 21 metres tall and represents King Amenhotep III seated on his throne. Legend has it that after an earthquake damaged it in 27 BC, one of the statues emitted strange sounds in the morning-perhaps due to the heat of the sun following the humidity of the night. However, the restoration which took place in 193-211 A.D, made the sound stop forever!

    The heart of the New Kingdom

    Refaat was an incredible tour guide and Ahmed was a very professional driver. We went around all of the major sites of Luxor, and Refaat was able to provide lots of interesting cultural and historical insights. The Karnak temple and tomb of Ramases III in the Valley of the Kings in particular were absolutely spectacular. Refaat and Ahmed went above and beyond to help us get medicine for my wife who was ill, and took excellent care of us throughout the day. Would absolutely recommend!

    Highly recommend

    We highly recommend this service. We had a two-day visit to Luxor, and they made our experience truly enjoyable. The package included airport transfers both ways and a full-day tour of Karnak and the West Bank. Everything was exceptionally well-organized, educational, and pleasant. Tarek was incredibly kind, and Refat proved to be a very professional and experienced guide. The communication with Omnia via WhatsApp was excellent and prompt.

    Full day trip East and West Bank at Luxor: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Full day trip East and West Bank at Luxor cost?

    +

    Prices start at $35 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 trip East and West Bank at Luxor 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 trip East and West Bank at Luxor worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 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 trip East and West Bank at 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 trip East and West Bank at Luxor 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 trip East and West Bank at Luxor?

    +

    Around 2 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 trip East and West Bank at 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), 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.
