    What you'll see and do

    1. Valley of the Kings

      Absolutely the first choice for a trip to Luxor is to Visit the famous Tomb of king Tutankhamun , Ramasses and Pharaohs of Egypt Glory Era of 1500 BC. The ancient Egyptians built massive public monuments to their pharaohs. But they also spent time and treasure creating hidden underground mausoleums. The most famed collection of such elaborate tombs—the Valley of the Kings—lies on the Nile's west bank near Luxor.

    2. Temple of Hatshepsut

      This Temple Honors the Egyptian Queen Who Ruled as King.Beneath the sheer, stark cliffs of Deir el Bahri, the mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut reveals one of the most extraordinary reigns in Egyptian history. Stepped platforms, pillared porticoes, and vibrant reliefs set against the desert backdrop make it one of the world’s most striking architectural masterpieces, but perhaps even more noteworthy is the woman who commissioned it. The eldest daughter of King Thutmose I, Hatshepsut first assumed the role of queen regent during the 18th dynasty after the death of her husband, Thutmose II. Although her stepson, Thutmose III, eventually came of age, she adopted the title of pharaoh and ruled for more than two decades. She was one of ancient Egypt's first female pharaohs.

    My unforgettable trip to Luxor!

    It was our amazing and unforgettable trip to Luxor! I had agreed with Egyptravelux to have a private pick up from Hurghada hotel where we had stayed and to have a trip to Luxor with one overnight in the Hotel there. I appreciated the way it was organized from the side of the agency, the choice of the Hotel, the schedule and the best timing for visits temples, I appreciated the punctuality and accuracy of the driver, my best regards and appreciation to the guide-egyptologist for the the great professionalism and the most interesting excursions we could ever have!

    Two days of wonder

    While working in Cairo I had the opportunity for a weekend out of the capital. I needed something well planned, seamless and with minimal stress. This company was recommended by my hotel and they did not disappoint. Day one was a full day on the west bank exploring tombs and temples. It was not rushed and I had plenty of time to do my own thing and just wonder around in awe. The guides were always on time, very knowledgable and all has previous experience with tours of all sizes. Drivers were good although the Mini Van for myself alone felt like overkill. Day two was temples on the East side including Karnak and Luxor followed by two hours learning to sail a Felucca. Great guides, no requests for 'extras', everything on time and I never felt rushed. My biggest disappointment was that I needed to return to Cairo! Highly recommended team.

    Best ever, a must do trip with Egyptraveluxe!!!

    In august 2017 i hired the private tour to Cairo and Luxor from this agency during my anual vacation planning. It was going to be the first time in Egypt and I did the search and deals using the internet. When I arrived Cairo airport, Ms Nahla was already waiting for me and had the plan ready for the next days. She planned my stay in Egypt with perfection and I was able to visit all important places in a very otpimized and productive way. After Cairo, we also met in Luxor, where she also made herself a great guide as she has impressive knowledge of the history and the sites. I am really glad I found the private tour company because i really used my trip time to visit, explore and enjoy, rather than taking care of day planning. Next year I will go back and take my friends with me.

    Private Tour to Luxor west bank tombs: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Tour to Luxor west bank tombs cost?

    +

    Prices start at $150 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 Luxor west bank tombs take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 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 Luxor west bank tombs worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". 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 Tour to Luxor west bank tombs?

    +

    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 west bank tombs suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Tour to Luxor west bank tombs?

    +

    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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Tour to Luxor west bank tombs 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.
