Location Map
Frequently Asked & Question
Most East Bank day trips focus on a clear core of highlights:
Karnak Temple Complex, the largest religious site in ancient Egypt, with its Great Hypostyle Hall, sacred lake, and long avenue of sphinxes.
Luxor Temple, right in the city, famous for its towering statues, obelisk, and evening lighting.
The Avenue of Sphinxes, that links Luxor Temple and Karnak, often visited in short sections.
Some itineraries also include:
The Luxor Museum (smaller, but with high-quality pieces).
The Mummification Museum, which explains how the ancient process worked.
If you only have one day, most people focus on Karnak and Luxor Temple; they hold a lot of history in a short window of time.
Most East Bank day trips run 5 to 7 hours, depending on pace and what you include.
A common schedule is:
Morning at Karnak Temple, about 2 to 3 hours.
Short break or lunch.
Afternoon or sunset at Luxor Temple, about 1.5 to 2 hours.
If you add a museum or a felucca (sailboat) ride on the Nile, you may need a full day of 7 to 8 hours.
Luxor gets very hot, so timing matters.
Best months:
October to April are the most comfortable, with warm days and cooler nights.
July and August are extremely hot, so expect intense sun and high temperatures if you go then.
Best time of day:
Early morning is ideal for Karnak, when it is cooler and less crowded.
Late afternoon into early evening works well for Luxor Temple, since the light is softer and the temple looks magical when lit at night.
If you visit in summer, try to avoid midday, and drink more water than you think you need.
You can do both, but the experience is very different.
With a guide: You get context for what you’re seeing, how the temples were used, and what the inscriptions mean. This helps the ruins feel like a living story instead of just stones.
On your own: You have more freedom to wander, sit, and take photos at your own pace, but you may miss a lot of the meaning.
Many travelers choose a local Egyptologist guide for a few hours at Karnak and Luxor Temple, then explore the town alone later. It is a good balance of insight and flexibility.
Think of the day as a long, sunny outdoor walk with little shade. Comfortable, modest clothing and sun protection matter.
Useful basics:
Light, breathable clothes that cover shoulders and knees
A hat with a brim, plus sunglasses
Comfortable walking shoes or sturdy sandals
Refillable water bottle and small snacks
High-SPF sunscreen
A light scarf can help with sun, dust, and visiting religious sites in town
If you plan to stay until evening, bring a light layer for cooler air after sunset in winter months.
Yes, children are welcome at East Bank sites, and many enjoy the huge statues and open spaces.
To keep it smooth with kids:
Visit early to avoid the hottest hours.
Bring extra water, snacks, and a hat for each child.
Take short breaks in shaded spots around Karnak’s columns or near the sacred lake.
You will need to watch kids closely near uneven ground, steps, and old stone blocks. With a bit of planning, it can be a fun history day instead of a long, tiring march.
There is a fair amount of walking, but much of it is flat.
Karnak is large, with long paths, uneven stones, and some steps.
Luxor Temple is more compact, with fewer long distances.
For travelers with limited mobility:
Some parts near the entrances are more accessible than the deeper sections.
Surfaces can be rough, so a folding cane, walking stick, or mobility aid helps.
It is smart to tell your guide or tour operator in advance, so they can adjust the route and pacing.
If you need a wheelchair-accessible visit, check details with a local operator before booking, since conditions and ramps can vary.
Luxor is one of Egypt’s main tourist cities and the East Bank is very used to visitors. Most people feel safe during the day and on guided tours.
Common-sense tips help:
Keep bags zipped and valuables close, especially in crowded areas.
Agree on prices in advance for taxis, carriages, or souvenirs when possible.
Use licensed guides or reputable tour companies.
You may meet persistent vendors near the entrance gates. A firm, polite “no, thank you” normally works if you’re not interested.
It is possible, but it makes for a long, intense day.
A full-day combo often looks like:
Morning on the West Bank (Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, Colossi of Memnon).
Afternoon on the East Bank (mainly Karnak and Luxor Temple).
If you like to move fast and do not mind the heat, this can work. If you prefer a more relaxed pace, many travelers split it into two separate days, one per bank, to avoid overload and heat fatigue

Keep in mind:
Flash is usually discouraged near delicate reliefs or in indoor areas.
Tripods may need a special permit or extra fee, and some guards may not allow them at all.

If in doubt, ask your guide or check the signs at each site entrance before taking photos.
