Day Trip to Luxor from Cairo by Air

What an absolutely incredible private day tour in Luxor from start to finish! The experience began with a seamless and punctual pickup from our designated driver (meet and greet) Mohammed, who was so professional, and super organised with our flight times & tickets. This was just the beginning for what would become one of the highlights of our trip to Egypt. Everything was perfectly timed, comfortable, and stress-free. Our tour guide Mo was simply outstanding—knowledgeable, passionate, friendly, and genuinely committed to making the day special for me and my mum. Every site came to life through his knowledge and fascinating stories, turning a sightseeing tour into an unforgettable journey through history. Luxor itself is breathtaking, but having such a professional and engaging guide, Mo elevated the entire experience. From the magnificent temples and tombs to the stunning views along the way, every moment was memorable. A huge thank you to the entire team for creating such an amazing experience. The organisation, professionalism, and personal touch were second to none. We left with wonderful memories, incredible photos, and a much deeper appreciation for Egypt’s rich history and culture. As it was just myself and my mum, Mo made sure to take lots of ice coffee breaks & water breaks. The lunch in Luxor was included within the trip, which was a lovely break up of the day. If you’re considering a tour in Luxor, don’t hesitate—this is an experience you’ll remember for a lifetime. Highly recommended and worth every moment!

Incredible Day!!

This was an incredibly informative tour of Luxor! I HIGHLY suggest going on this tour/using this company for their other tours. Although we only did the one tour with them, it was a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ experience and I trust their other tours would be the same. Thank you to Mustafa and Mahmoud for spending the day with us and teaching us so much history! We love Hatshepsut!!❤️

Trip of a lifetime!

There were 8 of us on this trip and we loved that the tour was private. We felt taken care of from the moment we arrived - customs was taken care of which was super helpful - and one of us left a phone on the plane and Ibrahim was able to get it back for her! With a large group we wanted flexibility, which was provided. We loved our guide Mekhael, who provided just the right balance of information and just letting us walk around and look. All in all a terrific experience!

Wonderful two day trip with Ahmed Sliem

We enjoyed a wonderful two days with Ahmed Sliem our amazing guide. He was genuinely so nice, friendly, incredibly knowledgeable and made our journey round Luxor so enjoyable. Always so ready to answer questions and he had some brilliant humorous ways to get the facts across to the kids. We already miss him. Thank you Ahmed!

Luxor East & West Banks Full-Day Private Tour with Lunch: questions travelers ask

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

How much does Luxor East & West Banks Full-Day Private Tour with Lunch cost?

+

Prices start at $76 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 & West Banks Full-Day Private Tour with Lunch take?

+

Plan for about 10 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 & West Banks Full-Day Private Tour with Lunch worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 15 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 & West Banks Full-Day Private Tour with Lunch?

+

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 & West Banks Full-Day Private Tour with Lunch suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 6. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 10-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Luxor East & West Banks Full-Day Private Tour with Lunch?

+

Around 5 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Luxor East & West Banks Full-Day Private Tour with Lunch 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.
