Tipping (baksheesh) is an important part of Egyptian culture and expected for services. Give guides and drivers 10-20% of tour costs. Tip hotel staff a few Egyptian pounds per service. Restroom attendants, boat crew, and anyone providing assistance expect small tips. Keep small bills handy.
Luxor is generally safe for visitors, with strong security presence at archaeological sites and hotels. Use registered taxis or arranged transportation. Women should dress modestly to respect local customs. Be aware of persistent vendors at attractions but remain polite. Standard travel precautions apply regarding belongings.
The Valley of the Kings contains royal tombs including Tutankhamun's. Karnak Temple is a massive complex of temples and columns. Visit Luxor Temple, Queen Hatshepsut's Temple, and Colossi of Memnon. A hot air balloon ride at sunrise offers spectacular views of these ancient wonders and the Nile.
Egypt uses the Egyptian pound (EGP) as its official currency. US dollars and euros are sometimes accepted at hotels and for organized tours, but local currency is needed for most transactions. ATMs are available in Luxor, and exchange bureaus offer competitive rates. Carry cash for small purchases.
Arabic is the official language of Egypt, with Egyptian Arabic being the most common dialect. In Luxor's establishments catering to international visitors, many people speak English. French and other languages are also spoken in hotels and by tour guides serving different nationalities.
Dress modestly and comfortably for temple visits. Light, breathable clothing that covers shoulders and knees is respectful and appropriate. Bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen for sun protection. Comfortable walking shoes are essential for uneven terrain at archaeological sites. Layers help with air-conditioned spaces.
Egyptian cuisine offers flavorful dishes worth trying. Sample koshari (rice, lentils, and pasta with tomato sauce), ful medames (fava bean stew), and ta'ameya (Egyptian falafel). Try grilled meats, fresh Nile fish, and mezze platters. End meals with sweet baklava or basbousa, accompanied by strong Egyptian tea.
October through April offers the most comfortable weather for exploring Luxor's outdoor sites, with temperatures ranging from pleasant to warm. Summer (May to September) brings extreme heat, often exceeding 100°F (40°C), making sightseeing challenging. Winter months provide ideal conditions for temple and tomb visits.
