    An amazing day to Luxor with Abdul

    We had an amazing day in Luxor, and a big part of this experience was thanks to Abdul, our guide! From the very first moment, he was kind, smiling, and incredibly friendly — it truly felt like being with an old friend. He explained everything with passion and deep knowledge, answered all our questions, and made sure we felt comfortable and safe throughout the entire day. We saw some incredible sights, but what truly made the difference was Abdul’s presence. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to discover the true beauty and history of Luxor!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to the review and share your experience. It was our pleasure to welcome you in Egypt, and we are looking forward to welcome you once again. Thank you for choosing love Egypt tours

    ✨ A magical day in Luxor with Love Egypt Tours and the amazing Abdul! 🇪🇬☀️

    We spent a wonderful May day exploring the warm, majestic Luxor — and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Abdul! He picked us up right from our hotel with a comfortable, air-conditioned van (a big plus in the Egyptian heat!) and a very skilled driver — whose name, sadly, we forgot, but he deserves a shoutout. Driving in Egypt can be a bit tricky, and he made us feel completely safe. Abdul instantly won us over with his warm smile, honesty, humor, and the way he told the 5,000-year-old stories of ancient Egypt. Coming from Greece, we know how overwhelming historical tours can sometimes be — unless you’re as talented as Abdul, who managed to highlight the most important facts with vivid details that kept us hooked and entertained the whole time. During our visit to the breathtaking Valley of the Kings, Abdul gave each of us a special royal name — either a king or a queen — which made the experience even more immersive and memorable. It was such a thoughtful and fun touch that added a personal flair to our journey through ancient tombs. What really stood out was how attentive and accommodating he was throughout the day. Whether it was making a quick stop for a perfect photo, or suggesting a brilliant lunch option — a relaxing boat ride across the Nile with delicious local food — Abdul always made sure our needs were met with genuine care and enthusiasm. He even gave us a little gift at the end — but only after we passed his fun "quiz" about the tour! We scored 4 out of 5, but he generously gave us the last one because we were so close! 😄 Highly recommend this unforgettable experience with Abdul and Love Egypt Tours. Truly one of a kind! 🌟🛕🌴

    Great tour experience

    We toured the Valley of the Kings and the Hatshepsut temple. Both the pickup and the tour went smoothly. Our guide spoke fluent English and was deeply knowledgeable. He was also great at keeping the children interested.

    Private Tour to West Bank Valley of the Kings Hatshepsut Temple: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Tour to West Bank Valley of the Kings Hatshepsut Temple cost?

    +

    Prices start at $93 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 West Bank Valley of the Kings Hatshepsut Temple take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 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 West Bank Valley of the Kings Hatshepsut Temple worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 111 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 West Bank Valley of the Kings Hatshepsut Temple?

    +

    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 West Bank Valley of the Kings Hatshepsut Temple suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Tour to West Bank Valley of the Kings Hatshepsut Temple?

    +

    Around 39 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Tour to West Bank Valley of the Kings Hatshepsut Temple 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 West Bank Valley of the Kings Hatshepsut Temple?
