Luxor Tours & Day Trips: The 15 Best

182 tours  ·  from $8

Everything in Luxor divides by riverbank and by hour: tombs and balloons on the west side before the heat, Karnak and the temple lights on the east after it. The 15 below sort the full days, the half days and the long runs up from the coast by price and start time.

Hurghada: Luxor Valley of the Kings & Tutankhamun Tomb Trip

1.Luxor Valley of the Kings & Tutankhamun Tomb Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 13,208 reviews · from $76Our pick

Travel from Hurghada to Luxor by air-conditioned van for Karnak Temple, the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, Colossi of Memnon, and buffet lunch. Guides such as Nana, Doa, Shaban, and Ahmed explain the sites in English, Arabic, or German. Tutankhamun’s tomb and a Nile boat crossing cost extra.

“Fantastic day! Very well organised and our guide Nana was excellent! It is a very very long day but worth it. Please beware of the heat!! It was 40* and so intense, make sure you have sunscreen and a fan! We were provided with cold bottles of water throughout and even treated to a lolly ice which was nice. It was cheaper to book without Tutankhamun tomb and pay for it once there, about £11 each. If you want to take the boat across the Nile to get to the restaurant for lunch it is an additional $10 each but it was worth it for the experience. I would recommend…”

We contacted GYG who were able to find this out for us, but it meant very little sleep. Advice is to contact GYG earlier if needed, but it didn’t seem to be a common issue. Pick up was on time (3.50), and our guide Ismail and Egyptologist Hoda (as well as both drivers AND security) were all an absolute delight. Pit stop at 6.20am (decent toilets all day and change is given in several currencies) and then breakfast bags…”
