Luxor, Karnak, and Valley of the Kings
I took this tour and I had an amazing time. My train in from Cairo arrived late and made me pressed for time on my tour before I had to catch my boat. My guide Hany and driver Eslam were AMAZING getting me to the places I wanted to see. I was worried I wouldn’t have time to see the sites and they made sure to get me all the places I wanted to go, as well as being great company. I would highly recommend this tour!

First solo traveler
As my first time traveling solo. This experience has been amazing. But Shaimaa Baheeg made it even more special. Being able to take pictures when traveling solo has been hard. She helped me take beautiful pictures of the temples. She even use her own phone to make even better pictures. I highly recommend her for any Luxor East & West visits you will do.

Great tour - Ask for Mona!
*Pre covid* On this tour we had Mona. We couldn't have asked for a better tour guide. She was so friendly, personable, funny and knowledgable. We literally felt like we were visiting a friend abroad and not assigned a guide. Mona was able to teach us about the history about the Temples, as well as the culture of Luxor. The trip was so well organized so we never had to worry about what to expect or if we had to rush to make anything. Generally, everything was scheduled so that you were able to visit most of the sites when it wasn't too crowded, which was great for pictures. We felt like we had enough time to explore the sites on our own and shop if we chose to after Mona talked about them and explained their history. It was honestly so unbelievable to be able to learn so much about the sites we only read about in textbooks. Thank you Egypt Gift Tours & Mona!
Response from the operator: Dear our Valuable Customer, Thank you so much for taking the time to write us this nice review. We are happy to hear you had a great tour with us, and we would be delighted to welcome you back anytime. On behalf of all Egypt Gift Tours team and our expert tour guide Mona, thanks again!

Awesome experience and a great guide!
When our cruise landed in Luxor, our guide Mona was there to collect us. From there she took us to our hot air balloon ride and retrieved us from our landing spot. Mona took us on our tour Luxor’s east and west banks. We had so much fun in Luxor!! Mina took us to see the valley of the Kings, which is where the tombs are located. We went inside many of the tombs to see the beautiful hieroglyphics decorating the walls and ceilings. We were amazed to see that the colors were so bright and vivid. Mona explained that they’d been indoors and with nothing to disturb them, they had remained. We then toured the rest of the east bank and then had lunch. Mona took us to Karnak temple and Luxor temple. After explaining what we would be seeing and showing us some significant items, she gave us some time to explore on our own. Mona always had an umbrella with her so that she could raise it and we could find her more easily. It was a very helpful touch, since it was very busy at each place that we visited. Mona was a great guide, very knowledgeable and helpful, and a kind person. We will keep in touch with her. My advice - do these tours and ask for Mona!
Response from the operator: Dear Our Valuable Customer, Thank you very much for sharing your feedback with us and recommending our tour! We all at Egypt Gift Tours strive daily to go above and beyond to ensure our guests' satisfaction with our tour services, and it is rewarding for us to hear we, and especially our expert tour guide Mona, managed to do so. We would love having you back and we wish you all the best!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Luxor East and West Bank: Valley of the kings, Habu Temple,Karnak&Luxor Temples: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Luxor East and West Bank: Valley of the kings, Habu Temple,Karnak&Luxor Temples cost?
+
Prices start at $60 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 Luxor East and West Bank: Valley of the kings, Habu Temple,Karnak&Luxor Temples take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Luxor East and West Bank: Valley of the kings, Habu Temple,Karnak&Luxor Temples worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 16 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 Luxor East and West Bank: Valley of the kings, Habu Temple,Karnak&Luxor Temples?
+
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 Luxor East and West Bank: Valley of the kings, Habu Temple,Karnak&Luxor Temples suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Luxor East and West Bank: Valley of the kings, Habu Temple,Karnak&Luxor Temples?
+
Around 6 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Luxor East and West Bank: Valley of the kings, Habu Temple,Karnak&Luxor Temples 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.
