    Luxor Valley of the Kings and East Bank with Karnak and Luxor temples.

    Overall our experience with Travel to Egypt was excellent. We visited the Valley of the Kings in the west bank and colossi of Memnon first. The tombs he various kings including Tutenkhamun were simply amazing with the detailed hieroglyphics and artwork. We had a nice lunch and then continued to Karnak and Luxor temples. Our tour guide Karam explained all the sites in intricate detail. He kept us on the schedule and the transport was very comfortable. I would highly recommend this group for your Luxor day trip.

    Response from the operator: Dear Valude Guest Thank you very much for your feedback, and we look forward to welcoming you bake in not so distant future. Warmest regards. Travel To Egypt team

    Supportive for whatever experience you are looking for in Egypt!

    Ala and his team were very supportive and open to getting me the experiences I was looking for while in Luxor. If any issues arose they worked together to find a solution that made everyone happy. I had a wonderful time at the east and west banks of the Nile along with my trip to Edfu and Kom Ombu. They gave me the flexibility to meditate and take my time in the sites. Definitely recommended!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for visiting us and making your trip. We’re glad that you found what you were looking for. It is our goal that you are always happy with what you do with us Thanks for your wonderful review. Looking forward to your next trip soon with us in your home "Egypt".

    Private Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor cost?

    +

    Prices start at $28 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 Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor 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 Private Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Private Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor?

    +

    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 Private Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor 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 Private Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor?

    +

    Around 1 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 Private Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor 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 Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor?

    +

    Included: All transfers by private air-conditioned car; Hotel pickup and drop-off; and Qualified Egyptologist guide. Not included: Tipping; Any extra tours; and All Entrance fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Is Private Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor wheelchair or stroller accessible?
