    Fantastic day in Luxor

    The trip was just PERFECT! Just what we wanted. Enjoy and see the most known places in Luxor in our rhythm. The guide, Hassan, was very kind and taught us a lot about ancient Egypt. The driver very kind too. We visited the Valley of the Kings, Karak temple and Luxor Temple, also Hashetups temple. The lunch in a nice place with views to the Nile. 100% recommended. Very happy with the experience.

    Perfect trip

    My day trip was wonderful, my guide as well. He answered at all my questions. He gave me time yo enjoy the places by myself and time to take pictures. He knows a lot of things about the places from the tour. Once again thank you very much! I recommend this trip and company.

    Excellent, informative tour service

    This was an awesome tour! We were able to customize the itinerary to see specific sights. The guide was very knowledgeable and we learned so much about the sights & ancient Egyptian culture. He went above and beyond helping us get our covid tests and results to depart Egypt.

    Private Luxor East & West Bank Highlights Tour 8 Hours with Lunch: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Luxor East & West Bank Highlights Tour 8 Hours with Lunch cost?

    +

    Prices start at $67 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 & West Bank Highlights Tour 8 Hours with Lunch 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 Luxor East & West Bank Highlights Tour 8 Hours with Lunch worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 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 Luxor East & West Bank Highlights Tour 8 Hours with Lunch?

    +

    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 & West Bank Highlights Tour 8 Hours with Lunch 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 Luxor East & West Bank Highlights Tour 8 Hours with Lunch?

    +

    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 Luxor East & West Bank Highlights Tour 8 Hours with Lunch 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 Luxor East & West Bank Highlights Tour 8 Hours with Lunch?

    +

    Included: Lunch; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Tour Guide. Not included: Admission Fees; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Private Luxor East & West Bank Highlights Tour 8 Hours with Lunch include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 13 listed pickup locations in and around Luxor. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Private Luxor East & West Bank Highlights Tour 8 Hours with Lunch offered in?

    +

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private Luxor East & West Bank Highlights Tour 8 Hours with Lunch?

    +

    What happens to Private Luxor East & West Bank Highlights Tour 8 Hours with Lunch if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
