How to visit Luxor
Luxor is ancient Thebes, often called the world’s greatest open-air museum. The East Bank has Karnak and Luxor Temple, which is spectacular lit up at night; the West Bank has the Valley of the Kings, the Valley of the Queens, the Temple of Hatshepsut, Medinet Habu and the Colossi of Memnon. Sunrise hot-air balloons lift off from the West Bank and fly about 45 minutes over temples and fields, a highlight for many visitors, but take-off depends on the wind and flights can be cancelled or moved. North of Luxor, Dendera (Temple of Hathor) and Abydos (Temple of Seti I) keep superb carved and painted reliefs. Two days cover the highlights of both banks; three days are more relaxed.
Tips for Luxor
- Summer middays are very hot: visit early and late.
- The Valley of the Kings ticket covers a limited number of tombs; some famous tombs need an extra ticket.
- Flash is usually not allowed in tombs; follow the photo rules on site.
- Balloon pickups are before dawn: bring a jacket and keep a spare day for weather.
- From Cairo, go by domestic flight, sleeper train or private car.
How tickets work
Tickets for Egypt’s main sites and museums are issued officially, and more and more sites accept online purchase or cards. Popular extras such as entering a pyramid, Tutankhamun’s tomb, the Abu Simbel convoy or a Luxor balloon have limited places or time slots that should be fixed in advance. Wang Fu checks opening times, books slots and arranges tickets together with your guide and car, at the official categories with no mark-up. Ticket categories differ for foreign visitors, residents and students; the site decides.
Reminders
- Bring your original passport or residence card; entrances may check.
- Student tickets need an international student card under site rules.
- Photo rules differ between museums and galleries.
- Book early for holidays and busy slots.
