Best Tour Guide In Egypt
Not only is Karnak Temple the largest and grandest of all in Egypt but its size and majesty is hard to grasp until you are there. We saw it the night before at the Sound and Light Show which is very nice, but it cannot be really seen and grasped except in the daytime. We have had excellent tour guides from Emo, Egypt Tailor Made and Luxor Travels but the best of all was Saber Hamed at Luxor Travels. He has been a certified egyptologist for 28 years and it showed. His explanation, in detail, of all that we saw was superb and overall the tour guides at Luxor Travels were the best with good english. Also, this tour allowed time at the Luxor Museum which the others do not. You want to spend at least an hour at the museum. This is a great tour to combine with the Valley of the Kings Tour that takes you to the tombs of King Tut and Nefertari which cannot be missed but cannot reasonably be done in one day.
Response from the operator: Dear valued guests, We appreciate all your kind words! We were really happy to arrange your tours around Luxor. It's great to know our efforts paid off and that you enjoyed your day tour with us. Thank you for your review! Sincerely, Ragab El Motgalye

Private Luxor East Bank's Best Sights from Luxor: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Private Luxor East Bank's Best Sights from Luxor cost?
+
Prices start at $59 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 Luxor East Bank's Best Sights from Luxor take?
+
Plan for about 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 Luxor East Bank's Best Sights from 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 8 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 Luxor East Bank's Best Sights from 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 Luxor East Bank's Best Sights from Luxor suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Luxor East Bank's Best Sights from Luxor?
+
Around 3 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Luxor East Bank's Best Sights from 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.
