    Fantastic morning shopping by Lucor

    Wonderful the Tour that Taie and Mostafa prepared for us, in the morning Taie picked us up at the hotel, noz invited us to a coffee with some delicious snacks typical of the area, from there we went walking while we received an impeccable explanation in Castellano, to finish where we wanted to go, to the largest and specialized store in Papyros since it was what we wanted to see and buy the most. Later we followed the route through the Luxor Market with Mostafa and showed us beautiful stalls where to buy souvenirs. All in all an incredible experience, both are professionals and beautiful people. RECOMMENDABLE 100%

    Morning shopping in papyrus and alabastro statues shops FANTASTIC!!

    We met two guides, Taie and Mostafa. From the first moment they knew how to help us in what we were looking for, they took us to a spectacular papyrus factory.. they invited us to Egyptian tea and lunch and allowed us to contact and discover really authentic craft stalls. We had problems at one time with the currency to pay and were very effective, fast, and always thinking about our personal satisfaction of our visit to Egypt. One of them even knew Spanish, thus enjoying the experience to the fullest. 1000% RECOMMENDED IF YOU COME TO LUXOR!!!!!

    Private Guided Shopping Tour in Luxor: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Guided Shopping Tour in Luxor cost?

    +

    Prices start at $18 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 Guided Shopping Tour in Luxor take?

    +

    Plan for about 3.5 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 Guided Shopping Tour in 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 Guided Shopping Tour in 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 Guided Shopping Tour in Luxor suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Guided Shopping Tour in 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 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Guided Shopping Tour in 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), Private Half day Tour to West bank. 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 Guided Shopping Tour in Luxor?

    +

    Included: Coffee and/or Tea; Private tour; Air-conditioned vehicle; Qualified drivers; and Bottle of Water During the Tour. Not included: Tipping. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Private Guided Shopping Tour in Luxor include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 144 listed pickup locations in and around Luxor. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Private Guided Shopping Tour in Luxor offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private Guided Shopping Tour in Luxor?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Private Guided Shopping Tour in Luxor wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Private Guided Shopping Tour in Luxor if the weather is bad?
