The tomb of Ramesses III, designated as KV 11, is a complex system in the Valley of the Kings. It has been known since antiquity,the wonderful decorations include colourful painted sunken reliefs featuring the traditional ritual texts (Litany of Ra, Book of Gates etc) and Ramses before the gods. Unusual here are the secular scenes, in the small side rooms of the entrance corridor, showing foreign tributes, such as highly detailed pottery imported from the Aegean, the royal armoury, boats and, in the last of these side chambers, the blind harpists that gave the tomb one of its alternative names: ‘Tomb of the Harpers’

Awesome time in Luxor!
Two persons to compliment for this day trip: - Pre-Tour: Speaking, via email, to the in-charge Ragab was a bliss. He reassures and made all back end work possible. He is a tourism professional. - During-Tour: Tour guide Khalid knows local people, the shortcuts, the fine spots and good history of Luxor. We had a fine introduction of Luxor. Overall, this is the simplest tour - pick up at Cairo and let the rest of the team do the rest.
Response from the operator: Dear valued guests, We appreciate all your kind words! We were really happy to arrange your tour around Luxor for a day. It's great to know our efforts paid off and that you enjoyed your day tour with us. Thank you so much for your review and your visit! Sincerely, Ragab El Motgalye

Great day in Luxor!
We had an amazing time in Luxor and got to see so many sights in such a short day. There are many opportunities to explore other sights if you desire, the personalization was very nice. Our guide was Khalid Eltayeb, he was so knowledgeable (he has his masters in Egyptology) and I can say I learned a lot from him on our trip. Our driver Hassan was very kind and got us wherever we needed to go in the most comfortable ride! Overall this was a great experience that I would definitely recommend to others.
Response from the operator: Dear valued guests, Thank you so much for your positive comments! Khalid was very happy to be your guide and have you as his guests. We all at Luxor Travels strive daily to ensure our guests' satisfaction with personalized tour services, and it is rewarding for us to hear we, and especially Khalid, managed to do so. We are all hoping to welcome you once again in Luxor! Sincerely, Ragab El Motgalye

Great Day In Luxor
We were picked up from our hotel in Cairo and taken to the airport very easily. We were greeted upon our landing by our Egyptologist Khalid and driver Hassan. I have nothing but positive things to say about them. Khalid is an incredible source of knowledge not just for ancient Egyptian history, but also answered any questions we had about life in Egypt now. He also allowed ample time for photos and meals, and even had suggestions for what to do after the ruins (we had a late flight back to Cairo) and even booked it for us. Overall a fantastic day.
Response from the operator: Dear valued guests, Honestly, there is nothing better for us than hearing that you have nothing but positive things to say about tour guide Khalid and driver Hassan. We are also very grateful that we had the chance to contribute to the fantastic day you had in Luxor. Thank you for trusting your holiday to us and we hope to see you again in the future! Sincerely, Ragab El Motgalye

Amazing trip to Luxor!!
We had a limited amount of time in Egypt but booked this trip wanting to maximize the amount of sites we would see! Though it was a very early wake up to fly to Luxor, it was so worth it! We had a day filled with temples, tombs, a Nile river ride, and amazing Egyptian food. Even more impressive than the sites themselves was our guide, Khalid Eltayab, who was so knowledgeable about everything we saw! He also catered the tour to our needs and allowed us the opportunity to do more sight seeing. Not to mention, he took great pictures for us and made great recommendations about which tombs to go in (our tickets allowed us 3 tombs)!! The vehicle we traveled in throughout the day was also clean, air conditioned (which was needed!!), had WiFi, and was stocked with cold waters! The driver, Hassan was also great! Would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone hoping to explore the many amazing sites of Egypt with a limited amount of time! Also try to recommend Khalid if you can!! He made it a day to remember!! Cannot wait to come back and spend more time here in the future!
Response from the operator: Dear valued guests, Thank you so much for such a positive review! We are thrilled to note that your visit was to your satisfaction and especially highlighting on Khalid's knowledge and his way of catering to your needs. It is very gratifying for us to hear such compliments and they motivate us to continue delivering our best to all of our guests. Looking forward to another visit! Sincerely, Ragab El Motgalye

Possibly the best day tour I have undertaken globally, in over a decade of travel...a must
Having a day to spare on a recent business trip in Egypt, I found Luxor Travels on Trip Advisor and found his ratings and general feedback from his customers to be extremely positive. I contacted Ragab via trip advisor and he organised everything from start to finish. The day was expertly planned out and was without doubt an incredible experience. Ragab organised all flights for me down to Luxor and return and a driver picked me up as I exited the airport terminal in Luxor. I was then met by Ragab who has a wealth of knowledge and professionally provided a unique insight into the incredible sights and history in Luxor. The Valley of the Kings, Colossi of Memnon, Karnak, Luxor Temple, Deir El-Bahari and the nile journey were some of the memorable sites. Additionaly, the lunch stop overlooking the nile was superb with great hospitality and food. I wouldn't hesitate in fully recommending Ragab to plan your Luxor or Cairo bound tours. Don't hesitate to contact Ragab as he replies immediately and his entire package is extremely professional and more importantly, very SAFE! Fully recommended and don't look any further...
Response from the operator: Dear valued guest, Thank you so much for choosing our services for your sightseeing in Luxor and Cairo. There is nothing better for us than hearing your positive words about our guide and services. This way we stay motivated to do our utmost best for all our guests. We are very grateful for your positive review and your recommendation! Please come and visit us again soon. Sincerely, Ragab El Motgalye

See everything Luxor Travels runsWhy this scores 48
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Luxor Day Tour From Cairo by Flight: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Giza.
How much does Luxor Day Tour From Cairo by Flight cost?
+
Prices start at $725 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Giza usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Luxor Day Tour From Cairo by Flight take?
+
Plan for about 17 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 Giza is not rushed.
Is Luxor Day Tour From Cairo by Flight worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Giza, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Luxor Day Tour From Cairo by Flight?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Luxor Day Tour From Cairo by Flight suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 17-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Luxor Day Tour From Cairo by Flight?
+
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 Giza 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 Giza and add a light layer if any part of the 17-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Luxor Day Tour From Cairo by Flight 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 Giza 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 Giza?
+
On Outty we rank every Giza experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Giza Pyramids, Sphinx, Camel, ATV Bike, Shopping & Dinner Cruise, ViP Private Tour Giza Pyramids,camel ride , inside 3rd Pyramid, Giza Pyramids VIP Private Tour ATV Camel Inside Pyramid & Lunch. 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 Giza?
+
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 Giza?
+
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.
