Things to do in Luxor

I stayed for 3 days and 2 nights because of my schedule, but if time had permitted, I would have extended it to 4 days and 3 nights to visit Abu Simbel as well. Going on tours during the day and then lying back on the rooftop from around lunchtime, tanning, drinking beverages, and enjoying the view is simply the best. Even if you aren't fluent in English, the dedicated staff member takes care of you constantly via WhatsApp (this was the absolute best part; they reached out to me first every single day from the day before boarding until the end, asking if anything was uncomfortable and resolving any issues immediately). The guide might be hit or miss, but I was extremely satisfied.

It was fun today. We started moving early in the morning along with the hot air balloon, so we were quite tired, but the connected tours made it easy to get around.

Watching the hot air balloons at sunrise is as beautiful as a painting, well worth the price. Everyone should definitely try this experience in Luxor; you'll regret it if you miss out.

Very efficient service. Contacted by the provider thru Whatsapp a few minutes after booking. Confirmed the pick up location and the trip went smooth and ontime. Hassle free. Staff were accommodating. Will repeat again

We had an amazing experience on the 2-Day Luxor East and West Bank Private Tour with Transfers. Mohamed was an excellent guide — very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional throughout the entire trip. He made sure we saw all the major sites without feeling rushed and explained the history in a very engaging way. Everything was perfectly organized and punctual from start to finish. The private transportation was very comfortable, and having a private car made the experience relaxing and enjoyable, especially in the Luxor heat. The lunch provided was also delicious and exceeded our expectations. We truly appreciated the attention to detail and the care taken to make sure we had a great experience. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Luxor and especially recommend Mohamed for making the trip so memorable!

I really enjoy the tour. it was amazing and comfortable. Mr. Ahmed is fantastic guide and very good. really nice experience in luxor.

The itinerary was very well organized. The driver was polite, drove safely, and kept the vehicle clean and comfortable throughout the journey. Our guide, Mohammed, was professional, friendly, and considerate. He made it easy for us to understand local culture and customs, allowing us to focus on enjoying the historical sites without worrying about logistics. His knowledge of ancient Egyptian history was impressive, and his clear explanations brought the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut, and the Colossi of Memnon to life. What seemed like ancient ruins became fascinating stories that deepened our appreciation of Egypt’s remarkable civilization. The lunch was also excellent. We highly recommend Black Camel Tours and would gladly choose them again on a future visit to Egypt. Thank you for a safe, enjoyable, and memorable experience.

Booked 3 days before arriving in Luxor. A practical and convenient way to explore the West Bank! They picked us up at 5 AM sharp and followed the itinerary as planned. One thing I wasn’t too happy about was the unexpected stop at a random shop for a “welcome drink.” I couldn’t help wondering if it was a commission-based stop to encourage tourists to buy marble, glassware or souvenirs, especially since it wasn’t part of the original itinerary. 🤔 Entrance tickets to the Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut Temple are not included, so you’ll need to pay for those separately. I really liked the Egyptologist, though! He was very knowledgeable and explained the history well. The transportation was clean and comfortable, too. However, I wasn’t quite sure why we were expected to tip the driver extra on top of what we had already paid.

Abdul was amazing! He did a great job showing us around, explaining the history, and making the whole experience enjoyable. Even though it was extremely warm, he stayed professional, helpful, and full of energy throughout the day. I really hope guides like him are paid well for the hard work they do, especially in such hot conditions. Highly recommended if you’re visiting Luxor!
