Your Local Guide In Luxor Temple
Luxor Temple is one of the most graceful temples in Egypt, located in the heart of modern Luxor. Built primarily by Amenhotep III and Ramses II, the temple was dedicated to the rejuvenation of kingship and the god Amun. The grand entrance features a massive pylon, colossal statues of Ramses II, and a towering obelisk (its twin now stands in the Place de la Concorde in Paris). The temple is particularly magical at night when it is illuminated, casting golden light on the ancient columns and statues.

Everything you need to know about visiting Luxor Temple

We recommend spending at least 3-5 days to experience the main attractions comfortably. However, a week or more allows for a more relaxed pace and exploration of hidden gems, local neighborhoods, and day trips to nearby areas.
Yes, Luxor Temple is generally safe for tourists. As with any destination, exercise normal precautions like being aware of your surroundings, keeping valuables secure, and following local guidance. Our tours prioritize your safety with professional guides.
Pack comfortable walking shoes, light breathable clothing for daytime, a light jacket for evenings or air-conditioned spaces, sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and any necessary medications. Don't forget your camera to capture the amazing sights!
While not mandatory, having a local guide significantly enhances your experience. Guides provide insider knowledge, historical context, help navigate crowds efficiently, and ensure you don't miss important details about the attractions.
For religious sites and certain attractions, modest clothing is required (covering shoulders and knees). It's best to carry a light scarf or shawl. Most restaurants and hotels have no specific dress code, but smart casual is appreciated.
While we recommend booking in advance for popular tours, many experiences can be booked last minute subject to availability. However, skip-the-line tours and special experiences often sell out, so early booking is advisable.
Most tours offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Some special events may have different policies. Please check the specific tour details for exact cancellation terms.
It varies by tour. Some tours include meals or snacks, while others don't. Each tour description clearly states what's included. Food tours naturally include multiple tastings as part of the experience.
