Top Luxor Packages

Luxor has more ancient Egyptian monuments than anywhere else in the world. About 3,000 years ago, it was Egypt’s capital and was known as Thebes. On the East Bank, you can visit Karnak Temple, the largest religious complex ever built, and Luxor Temple, which looks stunning when lit up at night. On the West Bank, you’ll find the Valley of the Kings, where Tutankhamun and many other pharaohs were buried, as well as Hatshepsut’s temple and the Colossi of Memnon. Because of the number and condition of its sites, Luxor is often called "the world's largest open-air museum."

Two days is enough to see the main sites at a comfortable pace, including the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, and the Karnak and Luxor Temple complexes. If you want more time to take photos or visit extra sites like Dendera or Abydos, adding a third day gives you more flexibility. If you plan to continue on to Aswan and Abu Simbel, it’s better to include them in a three-day or longer itinerary rather than trying to fit everything into a rushed day trip.

The best time to visit Luxor is from November through February. During these months, days are warm and sunny, nights are cool, and you can comfortably explore the temples during the day. In summer, from June to August, temperatures often go above 40°C (104°F), so tours are usually held early in the morning or late in the afternoon, with a break during the hottest part of the day. March, April, and October are also good options, as the weather is still warm but there are fewer crowds than in peak winter season.

For most travelers, the answer is yes. On a private tour, your guide focuses on you instead of a large group, so you can ask questions, spend more time at places you like, and skip anything that doesn’t interest you. You also don’t have to wait for others or follow a strict group schedule. One thing to note: with us, every package is private by default, so you are not paying extra to avoid a group tour. That’s simply how we do things.

Yes. Luxor is one of Egypt's most visited cities, and tourism is a major part of its economy. There is a strong support system for visitors, including tourism police, experienced local guides, and well-traveled routes. As with any trip, the main advice is simple: go with a licensed guide, stick to known sites and routes, and keep your valuables safe. This is standard practice on all our tours, so you don’t need to worry about extra precautions.

During peak season, from November to February, try to book 2 to 4 weeks in advance. This helps us secure your preferred guide and make sure hotels and extras, like a hot air balloon ride, are available for your dates. Outside of peak season, we can often arrange trips with much less notice, so if you’re planning last minute, it’s still worth contacting us.
