Luxor is a mid-sized city in Upper Egypt built directly on top of ancient Thebes, the capital of the New Kingdom pharaohs and arguably the single richest concentration of ancient monuments on Earth. The Nile splits the city cleanly in two: the East Bank holds modern Luxor town along with the colossal Karnak and Luxor…

The largest religious complex ever built, a sprawling site of pylons, obelisks and the famous Hypostyle Hall of 134 giant columns. Allow at least half a day; go early or return for the evening Sound and Light Show to beat the heat and crowds.
A graceful riverside temple built mainly by Amenhotep III and Ramesses II, once connected to Karnak by the ancient Avenue of Sphinxes. It is lit dramatically after dark, making an evening visit especially rewarding.
The rock-cut burial ground of New Kingdom pharaohs on the West Bank, including Tutankhamun's tomb. The standard ticket covers three open tombs from a rotating list; Tutankhamun's tomb and a few other headline tombs require a separate add-on ticket at the gate.
A quieter West Bank valley holding the tombs of royal wives and children, most famously Nefertari, whose brilliantly painted tomb requires a separate premium ticket. General entry covers several other open tombs.

Tarifas reales, no precios para turistas.
The most straightforward way into town, only about a 15-20 minute ride. Agree the fare before departing or arrange a hotel pickup in advance.
The Watania sleeper leaves Cairo's Ramses Station in the evening and arrives in Luxor around dawn, with a cabin, dinner and breakfast included. A relaxed way to cover the roughly 10-hour journey while you sleep.
EgyptAir runs multiple daily flights between Cairo and Luxor, taking about an hour. The fastest option, useful if your time in Egypt is limited.
A charming but old-fashioned way to get around the East Bank or reach the West Bank ferry. Agree the total price for the whole ride before boarding.
Useful for reaching the spread-out West Bank sites, where taxis often wait to take you between the valleys and temples. Agree a price for the full route, including waiting time, before setting off.
The cheapest and most local way to cross between the East and West Banks, departing regularly near Luxor Museum. Bikes and motorbikes can usually cross too.
The riverside promenade connecting Luxor Temple, the souk and most hotels is flat, scenic and easy on foot, especially in the cooler morning and evening hours.
The cooler months from November to March bring warm, pleasant days and cool nights, ideal for full days at the open-air temples and tombs; December and January are the most comfortable, and also the busiest and priciest. From April onward the heat climbs fast, and summer, from June to August, is genuinely extreme, regularly passing 40C with little relief even after dark - plan for early starts, indoor breaks at midday and plenty of water if you visit then.
Three to four days lets you cover both banks properly - Karnak and Luxor Temple on the East Bank, and the Valley of the Kings, Valley of the Queens and the mortuary temples on the West Bank - without rushing. Add a day if you want the hot air balloon and a relaxed felucca sail too.
Yes. The standard Valley of the Kings ticket covers three tombs from a rotating list, and Tutankhamun's tomb is a separate add-on ticket bought at the gate. Nefertari's tomb, in the nearby Valley of the Queens, requires its own premium ticket priced well above general entry.
Many visitors call it a highlight of their trip: drifting silently over the West Bank temples and desert as the sun rises is a view you cannot get any other way. Book with an established operator, confirm safety credentials, and expect an early pre-dawn pickup.
The cheapest option is the small public ferry near Luxor Museum; taxis and organized tours cross via the bridge south of town and are more convenient if you are visiting several spread-out West Bank sites in one day.
Luxor is generally safe and heavily geared toward tourism, with a visible police presence around the main sites. The main hassles are persistent touts, unofficial guides and shop detours rather than any serious danger; agree prices in advance and politely decline unsolicited help.
