How Your Luxor Day Trip by Flight Works

Luxor is a day trip on this tour, not an overnight stay. After breakfast on Day 3 you transfer to Cairo airport and fly south, and your guide splits the day between the West Bank and the East Bank of the Nile. If you want longer in Luxor, see our private Luxor tours covering the West Bank and Karnak.

West Bank: Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut's Temple

The West Bank comes first. The Valley of the Kings has tombs that include Tutankhamun's, and you also see Howard Carter's restored home and Queen Hatshepsut's cliffside temple. The Colossi of Memnon follow on the way to lunch.

East Bank: Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple

The day then crosses to the East Bank. Karnak Temple, built by generations of rulers and dedicated to Amun, is the first stop, followed by the adjacent Luxor Temple. You then fly back to Cairo, where your driver takes you to your hotel.

Expert Advice

Plan Your Journey

Everything you need to know about this experience in Egypt.

1
How much does a 4 days Cairo and Luxor trip cost per person?
Prices start from $1,025 per person. The final figure depends on your travel dates, because rates change by season and holiday surcharges apply at peak times such as Christmas, New Year and Easter. To check a specific date, send your dates through the enquiry form.
2
Are tips, the visa and international flights included?
No. Tips, the Egypt visa and international flights are all extra, along with optional tours and personal spending. Service charges and taxes are already included in the price.
3
Who meets me at Cairo airport, and where does pickup happen?
Your tour manager meets you at Cairo International Airport with a name sign, then escorts you to an air-conditioned car. Pickup is from Cairo airport or any hotel in Cairo.
4
Is the 4 days Cairo and Luxor tour private?
Yes. Private means your guide, driver and car are yours alone, so no other travellers share your day. Travel Joy Egypt tours are private and fully customisable, so you can ask for changes to suit your group before you book.
5
How long is the flight from Cairo to Luxor?
A domestic flight from Cairo to Luxor takes about 1 to 1.5 hours, which is why this tour can fit Luxor into Day 3 and fly you back to Cairo afterwards. That is the fastest way to reach Luxor from Cairo.
6
When is the best time to do a Cairo and Luxor tour?
October to April is the best time to visit Egypt, and this tour runs daily, so you can choose a date in those months. Send us your dates and we confirm availability.
7
How hot is Luxor in summer, and how should I plan the day?
Luxor regularly reaches 40 to 45°C (104 to 113°F) from June to August. Day 3 is a full sightseeing day on both banks of the Nile, and bottled water comes with the tour, so keep drinking through the day. Travelling between October and April avoids the worst of the heat.
8
Can I take photos inside the Valley of the Kings tombs?
Photography rules depend on the tomb, and many Valley of the Kings tombs need a separate photo ticket. Ask your guide before you take out a camera. Entrance fees are included on this tour, and our Valley of the Kings visitor guide and tickets lists the tickets.
9
How much is the Egypt visa, and what passport validity do I need?
The Egypt visa for tourists costs $30 USD, and you apply through the official Egypt e-Visa portal. Your passport needs at least 6 months of validity left on the day you arrive in Egypt, so check the expiry date before you book your international flights.
10
What should I wear and pack for the Pyramids and Luxor temples?
Wear comfortable walking shoes for the Pyramids of Giza, Karnak Temple and the other ancient sites on the route. Add a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses and high-SPF sunscreen to protect you from the sun.
