Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best tours to do in Luxor?
The most popular Luxor tours are the Valley of the Kings, Karnak and Luxor Temple, and the sunrise hot air balloon flight. For something less crowded, the Dendera and Abydos day trip is a great option. El Sultan Travel offers all of these with an expert English-speaking guide.
How many days do I need in Luxor?
Two full days cover the main highlights, one for the West Bank and one for the East Bank. If you also want a balloon flight or a trip to Dendera and Abydos, plan three days.
What is the best time to visit Luxor?
October to April is the best time to visit Luxor, with comfortable daytime temperatures. Summer is very hot, so sightseeing starts early in the morning.
What is the difference between the East Bank and the West Bank of Luxor?
The East Bank is the land of the living, home to Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple. The West Bank is the land of the dead, with the Valley of the Kings and the mortuary temples.
Can I visit Luxor from Hurghada?
Yes. We offer a Hurghada to Luxor day trip and a 2-day Luxor trip from Hurghada with an overnight stay. The 2-day option is more relaxed because of the long drive each way.
