    An Amazing Experience Exploring the Treasures of Luxor! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

    I booked a tour to the East and West Banks of Luxor through Egypt holiday makers, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! The booking process was smooth and quick, with instant confirmation. On the day of the trip, everything was well-organized, and our tour guide was extremely professional, providing us with fascinating insights into every site we visited. We started our journey on the East Bank, visiting the breathtaking Karnak Temple, one of the most magnificent temples of ancient Egypt. The sheer size and intricate details of the temple left us in awe. Next, we explored Luxor Temple, where we admired its towering columns and impressive obelisks. After that, we crossed the Nile to the West Bank, beginning with the Valley of the Kings. The beautifully decorated tombs of the pharaohs were simply mesmerizing! We then visited the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, an architectural masterpiece nestled in the cliffs. Lastly, we stopped at the Colossi of Memnon, where we took some great photos. The organization was flawless, the vehicle was modern and air-conditioned, and our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, making the tour both educational and enjoyable. I highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting Luxor who wants to explore its rich history in a comfortable and engaging way! 👌✨

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind words and positive feedback. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed our services and had a wonderful time in Egypt. We appreciate your trust and support, and we hope to see you again soon. 😊

    Visited Luxor with EHM

    We had a good experience with Egypt Holiday makers. They created a personalized schedule for us. Offering a tour of the east and west bank of Luxor, organizing a Hot air ballon ride and finally providing a private transfer to Marsa Alam. Our guide, Kero , was very knowledgeable and showed us the best spots of Luxor. The company was very efficient with our requests and had very good communication. PS. It is very hot at the end of june in egypt

    Private 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 Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor cost?

    +

    Prices start at $17 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 to East and West Banks of Luxor take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 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 to East and West Banks of Luxor worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 16 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 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 Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor?

    +

    Around 6 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private 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 Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor?
