Luxor, the living egypt historie
Visit Luxor to see the historical egypt, far away from the Sphinx and Pyramids. Valley of kings, Temple of Hadschepsut, Colosses of Memnon and a ballontrip into the sunrise. These highlights are "must do's" if you are travelling to egypt.

Great experience with Sabar from Luxor Travels
We had a fabulous tour with our guide Sabar - he was so knowledgable, passionate, and eager to teach us about this fascinating civilisation, and a genuinely nice person. We especially appreciated how Sabar ensured we were well hydrated and always found shady spots to explain the various sites. Our airport pickup was also smooth and our driver supporting Sabar was punctual and very professional. Setting up the tour directly with Luxor Travels was easy and Ragab was very quick to respond on email and WhatsApp. Would highly recommend this tour company to others coming to Luxor. Thank you!
Response from the operator: Dear valued guests, Thank you for your review! We are grateful that you took the time to share your feedback with us and that you entrusted us with arranging your tour in Luxor. Great to hear we were able to take care of your needs and that you highly recommend our tour services! Sincerely, Ragab El Motgalye

1st day - disaster, 2nd day - enjoyment
The 1st day (Valley of the Kings, etc) was the worst. The guide showed us a half of what we paid for. We were supposed to have 5-6 h tour, but we had 3 hour tour. 1 hour of which was just a ride to and from hotel. Although the car was clean and cool. The guide didn’t understand our questions or didn’t want to answer them. The 2nd day was much better. The guide was pleasant, knowledgeable and accommodating. Unfortunately the car was hot every time we got in. Although it was clean.
Response from the operator: Dear valued guests, Thank you for the feedback on your recent tour. We are most concerned with the satisfaction of all our guests and your feedback is of great value to us. We apologize for your experience not meeting your expectations and that the chemistry with your guide did not seem the best. However, during the tour you’ve visited all the sites mentioned in the tour itinerary and your guide did not rush you; if you wished, you would have been welcome to spend more time on the sites. Happy to hear you considered the second day to be better. Please be assured that all your feedback is well received as we always strive to improve our services and we hope to welcome you back nonetheless. Sincerely, Ragab El Motgalye

Relaxed viewing of Luxor sites
Nice relaxed way to see the sites around Luxor split over 2 days, good way to avoid the sun exposure by starting early on each day. Khalid was a great knowledgeable guide, giving us all the information around the sites, and making sure we had enough time around the sites on our own. Highlights were Karnak and the valley of the tombs
Response from the operator: Dear valued guests, Thanks so much for being our guests! We are glad to know you enjoyed visiting the Luxor sites with our guide Khalid in such a nice relaxed way. Looking forward to welcoming you in Luxor another time. Sincerely, Ragab El Motgalye

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private 2-Day Luxor Highlights Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Private 2-Day Luxor Highlights Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $140 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 Private 2-Day Luxor Highlights Tour take?
+
Plan for about 48 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 Private 2-Day Luxor Highlights Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 12 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 Private 2-Day Luxor Highlights Tour?
+
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 Private 2-Day Luxor Highlights Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private 2-Day Luxor Highlights Tour?
+
Around 4 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 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private 2-Day Luxor Highlights Tour 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.
What is included in Private 2-Day Luxor Highlights Tour?

+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 28 listed pickup locations in and around Luxor. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Private 2-Day Luxor Highlights Tour offered in?
+

Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private 2-Day Luxor Highlights Tour?
+
