    Unforgettable adventure.

    Although I was as skeptical as anyone in regards to all the positive ratings, it was a fantastic tour led by an amazing knowledgeable guide, Majed. Majed was beyond personable and was extremely helpful and informative of our million questions. He made sure every minute ran smoothly and valued our input the entire day. Our driver, Bahba(sp?) was prompt, polite, and fun. He never missed a single pickup time and was very safe in the crazy traffic world of Egypt. It an absolutely wonderful educational, once in a lifetime experience led by an amazing expert. Thanks so much to Majed for his time and expertise.

    Amazing day on the Luxor east bank with Khaled

    My wife and I had an amazing day exploring the East Bank of Luxor with our expert Egyptologist Khaled Elsmaky. Khaled guided us through each of the sites with great detail and was able to make it easy to follow. For each sight, Khaled brought in great historic detail and interesting anecdotes, connecting the different sights, including with sights we saw on other days in Cairo and Luxor. Would 100% recommend Khaled. Friendly, warm, trustworthy and knowledgeable. Thank you Khaled!

    A historian’s educational experience of a lifetime.

    This was an amazing all day experience! I was very skeptical considering the price. What an incredible value. I read all the 100% positive reviews by previous travelers, so expectations were high from the start. Couldn’t believe so many people had great experiences with different guides and drivers, but my friend and I are living proof that all the hype was true. Our guide and teacher was Majed. He was positive from the first introduction, until the very end of the tour. He was completely flexible and advised us with options throughout the tour. Majed showed a great depth of knowledge and patiently answered our various questions with ease. Our driver, Babah(sp?), was always prompt, smiling, and friendly. I felt bad that he opened and closed my door at every destination, it became almost a game to get out before he could open the door. We laughed repeatedly as the day progressed. I never won. He took the challenge in stride and played along. The car was immaculate and his driving was very safe. Majed, the brilliant and personable tour guide, and Babah, the safe and very friendly driver, made this a once in a lifetime experience worth every penny. BTW the lunchtime food at the Carter House was delicious, well-prepared, and the service staff was top tier. I was very impressed with every aspect of the tour. Thanks directly to the very attention to detail of Majed and Babah. 7 hrs is a lot of time to spend with complete strangers, but after a very few minutes we were made to feel like family and friends.

    Luxor: Valley of Kings, Hatchepsut Temple ,Karnak & Luxor-DayTour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Luxor: Valley of Kings, Hatchepsut Temple ,Karnak & Luxor-DayTour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $70 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: Valley of Kings, Hatchepsut Temple ,Karnak & Luxor-DayTour 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: Valley of Kings, Hatchepsut Temple ,Karnak & Luxor-DayTour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 1,105 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Luxor, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Luxor: Valley of Kings, Hatchepsut Temple ,Karnak & Luxor-DayTour?

    +

    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: Valley of Kings, Hatchepsut Temple ,Karnak & Luxor-DayTour 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: Valley of Kings, Hatchepsut Temple ,Karnak & Luxor-DayTour?

    +

    Around 387 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: Valley of Kings, Hatchepsut Temple ,Karnak & Luxor-DayTour 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 Tour to West bank, Private Half Day Luxor Tour Valley of Kings & Queens, Hatshepsut, 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.
