Day Trips in Luxor — FAQ
What are the best day trips from Luxor?
Top trips are Abu Simbel and Aswan to the south, the beautifully preserved Dendera Temple to the north, the cruise temples of Edfu and Kom Ombo, and the Red Sea resort of Hurghada.
Can you visit Abu Simbel as a day trip from Luxor?
Yes, but it’s long — Abu Simbel is reached via Aswan, so most tours are full-day or combine it with an Aswan visit; some travellers do it as part of a Nile cruise.

Aswan is about 215 km south of Luxor — roughly 3 hours by road or train — making it a popular full-day trip or the other end of a Nile cruise.
