The most popular Luxor day tours cover the East Bank highlights of Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple, and the West Bank sites of the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, and the Colossi of Memnon. Egypt Best Vacations also offers a sunrise hot air balloon ride and trips further afield to Dendera, Abydos, Edfu, and Kom Ombo.
Luxor’s East Bank holds the temples of the living, including Karnak and Luxor Temple, and the city’s hotels and markets. The West Bank is the land of the dead, home to the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, and royal tombs. A full-day Luxor tour usually combines both banks for the complete picture.
Luxor day tours with Egypt Best Vacations start from around 40 US dollars for a half-day visit to Karnak and Luxor Temple, and from about 90 dollars for a full-day East and West Bank tour with lunch. Longer trips to Dendera, Abydos, Edfu, and Kom Ombo, or a balloon ride, are priced separately. Prices vary by group size and inclusions.
One full day lets you see Luxor’s essential highlights on both banks, while two to three days allows a relaxed pace with time for lesser-visited temples and a balloon ride. Egypt Best Vacations offers half-day and full-day excursions, plus multi-day Luxor packages from 3 to 5 days for travelers who want to go deeper.

A sunrise hot air balloon ride over Luxor is one of the most memorable experiences in Egypt, floating above the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, and the green Nile Valley at dawn. Egypt Best Vacations works with licensed, experienced operators, and the ride lasts roughly 35 minutes with an early-morning start before the heat.
Wear light, breathable clothing, a hat, sunglasses, and comfortable closed shoes for walking on uneven ground. Bring sunscreen, plenty of water, and some cash for tips and extra tickets. Luxor is very hot, especially from May to September, so tours start early to enjoy the sites before the midday sun.
Early morning is the best time to tour Luxor, when temperatures are cooler and the light on the temples is beautiful. The best months are October to April, with warm, comfortable days. Summer is very hot, so Egypt Best Vacations begins tours at sunrise and plans indoor or shaded stops during the hottest hours.
