How Can You Travel to Luxor?


Travel to Luxor

Travel to Luxor and experience the power, majesty and mystique of Egypt's Valley of the Kings, the Luxor Temple complex and the powerful site of ancient Karnak!


Luxor, Egypt


Luxor, Egypt is one of the most popular destinations in Egypt and home to some fantastic attractions like the Valley of the Kings and the temple complexes of Luxor and Karnak. There is plenty to do in Luxor, so it’s about time to start booking a trip to this beautiful Egyptian city.


Travel to Luxor from America


If you’re coming from America then you will first have to take a major city out of the U.S. such as through Denver, Chicago or Los Angeles. The first step is to fly to Europe usually a well-known airport like Frankfurt, Germany, though occasionally some itineraries may send you through Paris or Amsterdam. From there, your next stop will be the Luxor International Airport, as this is the main southern hub for domestic flights within Egypt. There are also direct charters available, such as from London Gatwick.


Travel to Luxor from Europe


By air is the way to go. Airfare prices are low and actual travel time is short. There are also direct charters available, such as from London, Frankfurt, Rome and Moscow. Check your ticket-provider for specific prices and departures.

What should you know about the Luxor International Airport? It’s much smaller than most airports you’ve seen, so be prepared. EgyptAir is a popular airline as it provides day trips for relatively cheap.


Traveling to Luxor from Cairo


Train traveling is becoming more popular as it allows people to spend less money on plane traveling but also gives them the chance to do some quality sightseeing through the windows. There are four different levels of train travel offered by Ramesses Station Cairo as well as Luxor and Aswan. Trains are air-conditioned but serve low quality snacks, so it may be best to shop beforehand. Second and third class trains are also known to run slower and are actually discouraged by the Egyptian government for tourist traveling.

Buses are another option, as buses frequently leave the Luxor Temple and travel to most major cities, including cities like Aswan and Cairo. You can even get to Sinai from a Luxor bus line that travels over the likes of the desert and the Suez Canal.

What if you want to travel around Luxor, perhaps even arrive in Luxor coming from another city in Egypt? There are several options to pursue here, including cab drivers. Some cab hagglers can slow you down so negotiate at your own risk.


Luxor-Aswan Nile Cruises


Don’t forget the luxurious option of traveling by boat! There are many boat trips from Luxor to Aswan and back, and possibly as far up the Nile River as Abu Simbel. If you want comfort you can’t do any better than a Nile Cruise from Egypt’s two best cities. Sure, it’s slow and costs good money, but why rush off from your travel to Luxor anyway?
