Amun Also Known as Amon, Ammon, and Amen, Amun was the Egyptian god of the sun and air.

Trip Cancelled with no warning
Terrible - they cancelled without telling me, I had to contact them to confirm that the tour wasn’t going to take place. No apology either, extremely disappointing

Luxor in a Day
The entire day was amazing both Khalid and the driver were fantastic. We saw everything we wanted to see, the Valley of Kings, Karnak temple (the best), banana island and more. Being picked up and dropped off at the airport was really easy, and the visits to the cultural attractions like the spice market (also amazing) made it a really good day!
Response from the operator: We are grateful for your feedback. It’s our pleasure to provide the best possible service to our guests, and we’re glad that this commitment was reflected in your Trip. We look forward to the next time we’re able to serve you again.... Regards

Great way to see the highlights of Luxor
Got to see the highlights of Luxor in air conditioned car, which is very much needed in the summer. The guide, Khaled El Saady, was mindful of breaks and were always in air conditioned area of the sights. I enjoyed my time and was happy to see so many temples in a short amount if time. Khaled is an experienced Egyptologist and was great to learn about the history at each temple. The driver, Hgag, was very friendly and always picking us up on time.
Response from the operator: We’re so grateful that you took the time to share your feedback with us. It’s our pleasure to serve customers like you. Have a wonderful day!

Luxor Private Day Trip from Cairo by Plane: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Luxor Private Day Trip from Cairo by Plane cost?
+
Prices start at $49 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cairo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Luxor Private Day Trip from Cairo by Plane 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 Cairo is not rushed.
Is Luxor Private Day Trip from Cairo by Plane worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 69 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cairo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Luxor Private Day Trip from Cairo by Plane?
+
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 Private Day Trip from Cairo by Plane suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Luxor Private Day Trip from Cairo by Plane?
+
Around 24 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 Cairo 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 Cairo and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Luxor Private Day Trip from Cairo by Plane 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 Cairo 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 Cairo?
+
On Outty we rank every Cairo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include All-in-One Giza Tour, inside Pyramid, sphinx, Camel ride & lunch, VIP Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx Tour –Inside the Pyramids&More, Best of Cairo Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx and Grand Museum Tour. 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 Cairo?
+
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 Cairo?
+
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.
