Top Luxor Day Trips

One of the most incredible experiences I've ever had! Taking a hot air balloon ride in Luxor, Egypt, was simply unforgettable. Seeing the sunrise while flying over that historic landscape and observing the Valley of the Kings from a completely different perspective was something difficult even to put into words. The feeling of flying over a region so important to human history makes the tour even more special. It is an experience that mixes adventure, tranquility, and history in a unique way. For those visiting Luxor, I consider the hot air balloon ride an unmissable experience. It was one of those moments that are kept forever in memory. I highly recommend it!

Khaled was a fantastic guide! He really knows Egyptian history and explained everything in a very interesting and easy-to-understand way. His explanation of hieroglyphics was especially great. We visited the Valley of the Kings and many other attractions, including the Valley of the Workers, which was definitely a hidden gem. We would highly recommend adding it to the itinerary — it was one of our favorite parts of the tour. We also visited an alabaster workshop, which was a really nice experience. There was absolutely no pressure to buy anything. They welcomed us with a complimentary drink, and we even got to try making a vase ourselves. As we were on our honeymoon, Khaled went the extra mile and surprised us with a very cute wedding gift — an alabaster plaque with our wedding date on it. It was such a thoughtful gesture and made the experience even more special. Thank you, Khaled, for making our trip so memorable! We would definitely recommend him to anyone visiting Luxor. 10/10! 😊

We had an absolutely incredible and exceptional day in Luxor with our guide Maria! She speaks French very well, which made our interactions easier; she is truly kind and attentive to her clients, it was a pure pleasure to listen to her and learn about the history of Egypt! A guide I recommend! Dorothée

Amazing cruise. Great support from Mona Rahin throughout the whole trip. Our personal guide, Ahmed, was also incredible. Boat is very comfortable, great room and spacius bathroom. Food is great. I highly recommend this tour. All tours are included, except the balloon ride(highly recommended) and the Abu Simbel tour(I could not do it due to my return flight time). One small recommendation for the boat is to have more shaded areas on top, as it was extremely hot in May. But minor inconvenience, not to discourage taking this trip.

I will share information with you that I not already listed under the tour information. - Expect a FULL day. We were picked up at 4AM and dropped off at 6PM. - The hot air balloon ride is highly dependent on near perfect conditions. Be mentally prepared if it doesn't work out. - A photo and video service during the balloon will be offered for an additional 25€ (the quality of pictures taken were great) - After the hot air balloon ride, we're surprised to continue with a private tour (with the famous Dr. Mo) - At the valley of the kings, although the ticket allows 3 tombs we only had time to see 2. - For Dr. Mo to tell us the story of King Tut, it was an additional $30USD/person. I didn't feel it was worth it. You can read the information off the informational board. - The place you will be brought for lunch is a tourist trap, about $20USD per person. - The tour brought us to hands on experiences- Alabaster Store, Perfume, and Papyrus. It was very cool, but every place we went I felt obligated to buy something, hopefully you can have better will power than me! Don't be afraid to negotiate!!! It was be better to split all the things we saw between 2-3 days. But if you only have one day like us, this is a great tour!

What a great tour, it was worth seeing. Valley of the Kings is an experience you will never forget, and the Temples is like a movie set you just can believe your eyes. We had an amazing tour guide Nelly and she was very insightful, knowledgeable and enthusiastic, we learnt so much about the sights and learn to read hieroglyphics and write of ages using this method. Great 2 half days. Thank you

Great half day excursion. With the newer road only takes about 4 hours. Hassan was a good guide. All three places were very worthwhile with well preserved and colourful carvings, especially at the artisans village where they were so complete and quite unique.

I had a private transfer from Luxor to Hurghada with Ahmed and it was a very pleasant experience. The car was clean, modern, and very comfortable, which made the long drive relaxing. Achmed was friendly, professional, and drove safely throughout the journey. Everything was smooth and well organised, and I felt well taken care of. I would happily recommend Ahmed to anyone looking for a comfortable and stress-free transfer.
