Attractions guide
What to see in Luxor
Written by our Egyptologists — history, hours, prices and the practical detail guidebooks skip.
Luxor holds 5 of the sites we guide at regularly. Each page below covers what the monument is, the history behind it, current opening hours and gate prices, and links straight to every tour of ours that includes it.
Opening hours in Egypt shift with the season and during Ramadan, and the gate prices are reviewed by the Ministry of Tourism roughly once a year. We update these pages when they change, but if you are planning tightly around a closing time it is worth checking with us the week before.
Under-6s enter free everywhere. Children 6–11 pay roughly half the adult rate at every state-run site.
