Local knowledge for Luxor

Where to stay

Most budget guesthouses cluster on the East Bank along Sharia Television (TV Street) and near Luxor train station on Sharia al-Mahatta, putting you a short walk from Luxor Temple and the central souk. The West Bank village of New Gurna is worth considering if you plan multiple days at the Valley of the Kings, since you skip the daily ferry commute and prices are generally lower.

Getting around

  • Take the local passenger ferry from the East Bank corniche to the West Bank. It costs a few Egyptian pounds and docks just down from the tourist boat, which charges ten times as much for the same five-minute crossing.
  • Rent a bicycle from one of the shops near the West Bank ferry landing (expect EGP 50-100 per day) to reach the Valley of the Kings and Hatshepsut's temple on your own schedule, without negotiating taxi fares at every stop.
  • Buy water, snacks, and a SIM card at the Luxor souk rather than from kiosks near temple entrances, where prices for the same items are often double.

When to go

Hostels are cheapest June through August when temperatures regularly exceed 40°C and visitor numbers drop sharply. October through February is the busy stretch, and places near Luxor Temple fill up fast around Christmas and New Year.
