Dream Cruise on the Nile
I can’t thank the team at Sun Pyramids Tours enough for the exceptional Luxor to Aswan trip they planned for us. They arranged everything - our air travel from Cairo to Luxor and back from Aswan to Cairo (Sun Pyramids also planned our itinerary and made all our tour and transfer arrangements while in Cairo as well), pick up and drop off at the airport and to each tour destination at each stop via private van on our fabulous Nile Cruise in the beautiful Sonesta St. George (I’ll be writing a separate glowing review of this fantastic ship and its staff and service). Our travel agents Aya and Dina arranged upgraded cabins for me, my wife and two kids to enhance the experience further. They stayed involved every day to ensure the itinerary met our expectations. In our case it exceeded them. We hit all the main spots, including Karnak and Luxor Temples, Valley of the Kings, Edfu, Kim Ombo and Philae Temples, Nubian Village (the boat ride there and back on the Nile is spectacular), and Abu Simbel (do not miss this!). Traveling far from home can be unsettling, but with Sun Pyramids we always felt safe and well taken care of. A real highlight of our trip was our fantastic guide, Eslam Muhammad. He was kind, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable. Eslam gave us in depth explanations of each place we toured so we were immersed in the historical perspective and significance of every place we saw. On these trips you pack a lot in on not much sleep and he was also patient and understanding if we were hot (it’s 105 degrees in Egypt in July), tired, and when my wife and daughter weren’t feeling well to accommodate them while still getting the most out of the experience. He took great care of us and is exactly the kind of guide you want to have on a trip like this. 5 stars! Thank you Sun Pyramids, and especially Eslam, for making our dream vacation so special!!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your delightful words. We are thrilled that you enjoyed your trip to Egypt with Sun Pyramids Tours and look forward to welcoming you back to Egypt or globally. We are also proud that our staff, met your expectations and contributed to an extraordinary experience

An amazing tour experience in Luxor!
This was a truly amazing tour and I am so glad I booked it. Aya Yasser from Sun Pyramids was amazing at coordinating every thing to make it a seamless trip from pick up to return. The hosts were great and Ahmed the tour guide was exceptionally knowledgeable on history and pointing out key information. We started on the west side of Luxor with the Valley of the Kings, and truly beautiful wall art in the tombs. Then we went to the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut. Then a quick stop at the open air museum for the mortuary of Amenhotep III, followed by a great lunch at Carter House. For the afternoon, we turned to the east side of Luxor to visit the must see temples of Karnak and Luxor. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience!
Response from the operator: Thanks a lot for taking the time to post your detailed feedback, Mrs. zebulon. We truly appreciate your time, and so delighted and proud that our organisation assisted in creating an extraordinary experience for you and your partner. Also, we are proud that our tour leader Ahmed met your expectations.

Epic journey
Five out of five, great private tour tour guide was very sweet and very knowledgeable and since I had extra time because of a late flight back to Cairo, they booked extra activities for me to do to kill time
via Tripadvisor
Great trip, if you have the time got for longer. But if you’re tight on time this is the trip for you!
A fantastic day trip all my pick ups and drop offs were on time and my tour guide in Luxor was fantastic! One day is a bit short.

Spectacular time in Luxor by Air round trip from Cairo all in one Day!
I highly recommend this tour if you have limited time. We enjoyed a comfortable flight and private tour to Luxor where we toured Karnak; Luxor; Valley of the Kings and Valley of the Queens; and Ramses III Temple. We also stopped at Memphis. It exceeded my expectations by far! We had enough time to cover everything we needed to see and our Guide, Ghada Khalaf was so very knowledgeable, and our driver Hamdy was Excellent. We hit all of the sites in reverse order so it wasn't as crowded and we got some spectacular pictures. Ghada was easy to work with and flexible as to where we wanted to take more time or not at the stops. Thank you, Ghada and Sun Pyramids for a wonderful Tour!
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for choosing Sun Pyramids Tours. It has been a pleasure to serve you during your stay in Egypt. We appreciate your review as it encourages us to do better in the next upcoming years. Looking forward to helping you more through your next journeys all around the world!

Private Tour to Luxor from Cairo by Air in Egypt: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Private Tour to Luxor from Cairo by Air in Egypt cost?
+
Prices start at $317 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cairo 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 Luxor from Cairo by Air in Egypt take?
+
Plan for about 12 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 Cairo is not rushed.
Is Private Tour to Luxor from Cairo by Air in Egypt worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 18 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cairo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Tour to Luxor from Cairo by Air in Egypt?
+
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 Luxor from Cairo by Air in Egypt suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour to Luxor from Cairo by Air in Egypt?
+
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 Cairo 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 Cairo and add a light layer if any part of the 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour to Luxor from Cairo by Air in Egypt 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 Cairo 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 Cairo?
+
On Outty we rank every Cairo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include All-in-One Giza Tour, inside Pyramid, sphinx, Camel ride & lunch, VIP Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx Tour –Inside the Pyramids&More, Best of Cairo Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx and Grand Museum Tour. 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 Cairo?
+
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 Cairo?
+
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.
