Perhaps no city is as closely interwoven with the history of Egypt as Luxor. The great past of the “City of Palaces” lives on to this day. Next to the famous Valley of the Kings and the Temple of Hatshepsut is the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Karnak Temple in Luxor.
Sightseeing/Itinerary in Luxor
You will be picked up from your hotel by air-conditioned bus and will reach the city of Luxor in approximately 4.5 - 5 hours. With our Egyptologist tour guide, you will explore the Karnak Temple and be transported back in time. Your path then takes you to the west bank of the Nile, to the two colossal statues of Amenhotep III, also known as the Colossi of Memnon. In the Valley of the Kings you will visit magnificent tombs and then the impressive temple of Queen Hatshepsut. Finally, you will have some free time in Luxor before traveling back to your hotel in Hurghada.

Laila Salah- best guide for your Luxor trip
We went on a private tour from Hurghada to Luxor and had Laila Salah as our guide in Luxor, and it was an absolutely amazing experience. Laila is the best guide ever! Her English is excellent, she is very polite, and she takes wonderful care of her guests from start to finish. She has an impressive knowledge of Egyptian history and explains everything clearly and with great passion. Laila is very well educated, professional, and friendly, which made the whole tour both interesting and comfortable. You will not regret it if you ask for Laila as your guide – we highly recommend her!

Great, pure culture.
Everything worked out great. It was all very impressive.
Beware of the shopping stop. Gladly inform about prices for stoneware at bazaars before buying from the alabaster man.

It was a...
It was an eventful day in Luxor, with a very well informed guide (Ali). The tour was well organized, the bus to Luxor should have been even more comfortable (seat spacing and filling level). Somewhat disturbing are the additional costs, which were not transparently stated before booking. All in all but a wonderful day, recommendation!

Another great trip with Book Tour Egypt
Using Book Tour Egypt was a great choice. Communication was great throughout. Drivers were also great. I was not looking forward to the long drive to Luxor, however, driving along the Nile was really interesting and I really had my eyes opened as to how people live. We were met by our guide, Muhammed, in Luxor and his knowledge of the sites we visited was fantastic. Although it was a long day, it was fantastic and I'll gladly do it all again. Book Tour Egypt provide a great service and great value for money.

10⭐ Mega great trip
The trip was great 👍🏻
If I could I would forgive 10⭐!
With our drivers Mustafa and Waleed I felt safe all the time!
Our guide Mohamat(Barraka) was unique!
He left no question unanswered, even taught us to read a little hieroglyphics!
But also left enough time to take pictures on one hand!

Luxor trip must read!
Must do sightseeing experience when in Egypt.
The day starts early in the morning with the Van coming to pick you up from the hotel. We were told picked up from 4.30,but there was a slight delay. Road to Luxor is about 4 and a half hours,mostly trough desert.
Our guide,Monty joined us from Luxor,where we started the experience with Karnak Temple. You spend about 1 hour there, although the itinerary says more. Then you are taken to a cruise Nile( extra pay) or you may choose to stay in the Van. After you get taken to a local restaurant, this one was called Crocodile 🐊 restauran(2.4 if you search it on Google) where you get a below average food and you pay for your drinks. Then you get to Colossus of Memnon,where you get 5 minutes instead of 20 ,then to the temples and tombs with a short description from our guide Monty,and again rushed between tombs(we had extra payed for King Tut tomb) . We saw other guides coming all the way to the entrance of the tombs and explaining to their groups ,ours made a quick description and rushed us to finish between tombs. You also get a trip to an alabaster "factory" nearby, where they show you how they manufacture and asked if you want to buy something. It is pointless trip ,especially when you didn't give enough time to see and experience all that rich history and the amazing places.
Dear Mr Monty ,the entire experience felt rushed ,with little explanations on your part,even though I showed you the itinerary.
You said the Van arrived late.
Van arrived around 11,so therefore plenty of time for you to organise based on that.
You said we as a group spend more than 20 minutes to the toilet. Now,in every tour guided grup ,YOU take that into account! And it was at best 10-15 minutes.
People who go on tours they go to see the History of that place first and then take pictures of the experience and MAYBE buy your overpriced alabaster. You said we spend 20 minutes at that factory. OK 20 minutes, plus another 20 to go there and back,could have been spend more at the Valley of the Kings for example. You allow us 5 minutes per tomb man,rushed experience, not getting the chance to marvel at all that beautiful history.
You said the tour was supposed to be finished at 4 and you kept us until 5 to make up for the delay. It was not our delay ,it was poor organisational skills on your part. Besides,there were other people entering the tombs whyle we finished with the last tomb and me showing you that the itinerary hours was not respected!
This reflected in your tip,you should ask Mr Ahmed,from Cairo trip what tip he got from us because he actually knows how to be a great guide.
We understand there are alot of activities into a small amount of time,but we feel that it could have been better planned from your part.
●good communication with the company via WhatsApp,before and after the trip.
●prices on viator are different than you actually going to spend. They don't include taxes and admission fees.
●security all over Egypt,bonus point .
Overall,recommended the experience but maybe with a different guide,or the same guide but more involved and better at planning.
