Private Day Tours in Luxor
Luxor is basically a massive open-air museum, but the temples are spread out across the East and West banks, and the heat can be intense. Trying to see it all on a crowded group bus is tough. With a private excursion, you get your own air-conditioned car, a knowledgeable Egyptologist guide, and total freedom to skip the crowds and set your own pace. We pick you up from your hotel or cruise ship, and drive you right to the gates of each site.
What you’ll see
- The East Bank: The massive Karnak Temple complex, with its incredible Hypostyle Hall, and the beautifully lit Luxor Temple in the evening.
- The West Bank: The famous Valley of the Kings, the stunning Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, and the Colossi of Memnon.
- Hot Air Balloon Ride: Start your day floating over the West Bank at sunrise for a view you will never forget.
- Optional Extensions: We can easily arrange a day trip to the temples of Dendera or Abydos if you have a full day to spare.
How your day works
Your driver and guide will meet you right at your hotel lobby or the cruise dock. The car is clean, private, and fully air-conditioned—which is a lifesaver in the heat. You decide how long you want to spend at each temple. If you want to stay an extra hour to photograph the columns at Karnak, or skip a site to relax, it’s completely up to you.
Useful details
- Hotel or Nile cruise ship pickup and drop-off are always included.
- Entrance fees are paid directly at the gates – no hidden costs.
- Bottled water and cold towels are provided in the car.
- We recommend starting early (around 7 AM) to beat the heat and the crowds.
