Getting around Luxor By different ways

By bus

Taking a tour bus is a great way to visit Luxor’s attractions, but it’s important to stick to the schedule. You’ll also have a professional guide who can explain the significance of sites such as the Valley of the Kings and the Luxor Temples. When planning a bus excursion, keep in mind that prices range from $80 to $200 per person, depending on the length of the tour and the locations visited.

By a taxi

A variety of Luxor blue-and-white cab services are available from anywhere in the city, or order one over the phone. Taxis are the most convenient way to navigate around Luxor. Taxis are plentiful and inexpensive. You can locate a group of them outside any of the hotels, or you may flag one down in the street if you’re getting off a cruise ship. Nevertheless, the adventurous traveler might hire a taxi for a short excursion across town.

By a horse-drawn carriage

Horse-drawn carriages, often known as hantours, operate similarly to taxis for short trips. This is a more leisurely mode of transportation and might be refreshing on a hot day or evening. Horse-drawn carriages are a unique and excellent mode of transportation in Luxor. This is one of the nicest ways to view Luxor.

By Microbus

Microbuses, sometimes known as service taxis, operate on circuits throughout the town and are a relatively economical method to get around once you know the routes. Any journey by microbus should cost (EGP 3). You can board and disembark anywhere along the trip, but it might get crowded. It’s entertaining if you enjoy adventures.

By a bicycle

Another practical way to get around the city is on a bicycle. Many hotels in Luxor provide bicycle rentals for a fee, and there are several bike shops on the East and West Bank where you can rent a bike. Bike rental prices range from 50 to 100 Egyptian pounds (or $1 to $2), depending on the bike’s age and the store’s quality. Because some bike shops provide day rentals and others charge by the hour, it’s important to be sure that rental lengths are clear. Make sure you have a bike lock (most hotels and shops will provide you one for free) and check your tires and brakes to prevent any issues when riding your bike around Luxor.

By a Felucca

The sailing boats or ‘feluccas’ that cross the Nile or take hourly trips are one of Luxor’s highlights. A fleet of feluccas is accessible at several spots along the river. Tourists can go on a short tour of Luxor from Feluccas.

By a ferry

Every day, a public ferry crosses the Nile River between the East and West Banks, departing from a wharf near the Temple of Luxor and dropping passengers off on the West Bank’s Al Quran Road. Ferries are a cost-effective and exciting method to traverse the river. They are also a speedier option. Tourists can go from one bank to another. It is an efficient and quick means to get to the opposite side of the city.

By camels and donkeys

Renting camels and donkeys to tour a spot in Luxor might be a lot of fun. Walking around massive monuments does not tire people out, thus it is an excellent method to explore the area. These can be leased at ferry drop-off locations where guides are available.

On foot

Walking is the most cost-effective way to move around Luxor, but it has a cost. However, if your hotel is within walking distance of several attractions, you could be better off utilizing your own two feet. The vista improves and the river becomes more beautiful as you travel down the Corniche. The region immediately surrounding the Luxor Temple and the souk, as well as the ferry landing and the hotels on the West Bank, is the ideal for walking. Moving on foot takes 30 minutes from downtown to Karnak temple and 15 minutes to Luxor temple but for travelling to the west bank of Luxor is not good idea due to the long distance  and the hot weather .
