What Our Guests Say

"Our guide was absolutely passionate. He brought every temple to life, explaining the hieroglyphs with remarkable clarity. The Valley of the Kings in private — nothing compares to a group tour."

"Amarna Tours transformed our Nile cruise. Pick-up at the dock, tickets already in hand, no queuing at the gates — everything was flawless. I recommend them to every travelling friend."

Plan Your Luxor Journey

Luxor (Al-Uqsur in Arabic) is located 700 km south of Cairo in Upper Egypt. Once the ancient capital of the world under the name Thebes, it holds an extraordinary share of humanity's global heritage — more than any other city on Earth.

The best season to visit Luxor runs from October to April, with pleasant temperatures between 20°C and 28°C. Summer temperatures can exceed 45°C — though early-morning visits remain possible and spectacular year-round.

Luxor is accessible from Cairo (1 hour by air), Hurghada (3 hours by road), and from all Nile cruise boats. Amarna Tours arranges direct pick-up from your hotel or cruise ship — no logistics to manage, no stress.

All our private excursions are fully customisable: duration, schedule, and sites visited. Contact us via WhatsApp to design your tailor-made programme.
