Luxor Tours

Private guided tours of Karnak, Luxor Temple & the Valley of the Kings

Luxor Tours – FAQs

How many days do I need in Luxor?

One full day covers the main East and West Bank sights. Two days let you add more tombs, Medinet Habu, a balloon ride or Dendera and Abydos.

Can I visit Luxor as a day trip from Hurghada or Cairo?

Yes – a full day by private car from Hurghada, or a morning flight from Cairo returning in the evening.

East Bank or West Bank first?

We usually start on the West Bank early in the morning when it is coolest, and visit Karnak and Luxor Temple in the afternoon or evening.

Which tombs are included in the Valley of the Kings ticket?

The standard ticket includes several tombs; special tombs such as Seti I or Tutankhamun need an extra ticket. Your guide will recommend the best ones on the day.

Sail on to Aswan on a Luxor to Aswan Nile cruise, book a Luxor airport transfer or a city-to-city transfer, and see our Egypt tour packages combining Cairo, Luxor and Aswan.

The best! An excellent tour! Hazem was incredibly knowledgeable and we loved that he started out by asking our current knowledge and then help us to build on it. We learnt so much- background knowledge and even how it is still relevant now. We were picked up promptly from our hotel and Hazem met us at the door before taking us to the car with a driver. He made us feel safe straight away and, as 2 foreign women, we felt like we had a personal security guard for the day. We ended the day with a new friend in Hazem - he made us laugh, kept us safe and filled us with knowledge. Thank you so much Deluxe Tours and Hazem. We will definitely be back!

Fabulous Day Trip to Alexandria Hassan is an excellent guide and driver H was terrific. Car very clean air conditioned and comfortable. Trip was smooth and we saw all the sights with very complete explanations. Lunch was in a fish restaurant with a great view of the harbor. Hassan has a great love of Egypt and this makes for a great tour.

Ancient Egypt history - a must see We had a fabulous tour today with our guide Ashraf to Saqqara, Dahshur and Memphis. From pick up, to drop off, nothing was an issue for Ashraf. The tour included all admission tickets, so we could really take in the magnificent pyramids in these complexes. The car was comfortable and the driver, exceptional. We even had the opportunity to purchase a little Special keepsake from our tour. Highly recommend this tour.

Great tour of Alexandria! This was a fantastic tour. Our tour guide Zizou and driver Eid were very welcoming and extremely knowledgeable. We were picked up directly at our hotel. We felt very safe and they treated us to a wonderful day of sightseeing and learning about Egyptian culture in Alexandria! The choice for lunch at the Fish Market was great and the fried fish was delicious. A long day with the drive from and back to Cairo, but highly recommend!
