How the Luxor day trip from Cairo works

This day suits travelers who are short on time in Egypt and want to see ancient Thebes without an overnight stay. Your return domestic flights are booked for you once the reservation is confirmed, and our driver meets you at Luxor airport.

You spend about an hour each at Karnak and Luxor Temple, about two hours in the Valley of the Kings, a short stop at the Colossi of Memnon and an hour at Hatshepsut’s temple, then visit a local market. UNESCO’s Ancient Thebes listing gives the background.

Travel light: a small bag with a hat, sunscreen, water and comfortable shoes is enough. Bring your passport for the domestic flights. Lunch is not included, so keep a snack with you, and some small notes for the market.
