    The most amazing experience

    We had the pleasure of selecting this tour that encompassed both the East and the West Bank. Services rendered by Mr. Mido were outstanding. Pick up was on schedule on a private, clean and very comfortable car that he personally drove safely. The visits were enlightening, interesting and well guided. A delicious lunch was provided on a rooftop restaurant overlooking the Nile River. After that we proceeded to East Bank to explore Luxor Temple. Definitely a trip of a lifetime. A responsible company providing excellent service. Very pleased with every aspect of the tour.

    Great Guide and Transportation

    My guide Hany and driver Mido were both excellent! Hany is very knowledgeable and made sure to explain everything and the stories very well. Mido was a great driver and also helped me find some things and get around Luxor after my tour was over. Anyone who has a chance to go with these guys is lucky!

    Luxor in 106 degree but all for us thanks to COVID

    Superior treatment. Very knowledgeable guide

    I had a very nice tour leaded by guide Mona. If you get a chance to do a tour with her you can consider yourself a lucky person. Also the organisation of logistics and transportation by Mido was perfect! Highly recommended!!!

    Private Tour: Luxor East Bank, Karnak and Luxor Temples: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Tour: Luxor East Bank, Karnak and Luxor Temples cost?

    +

    Prices start at $30 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 Tour: Luxor East Bank, Karnak and Luxor Temples take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 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 Tour: Luxor East Bank, Karnak and Luxor Temples worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 7 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 Tour: Luxor East Bank, Karnak and Luxor Temples?

    +

    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 Tour: Luxor East Bank, Karnak and Luxor Temples suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Tour: Luxor East Bank, Karnak and Luxor Temples?

    +

    Around 2 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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Tour: Luxor East Bank, Karnak and Luxor Temples 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?

    +

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.
