11.3-Hour Private Luxor Horse Carriage City Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 5 reviews · from $50

Spend about three hours in a private horse carriage along Luxor’s Nile Corniche and through local streets. Your package includes hotel or Nile cruise pickup, bottled water, drop-off, and an Egyptologist guide. Confirm the guide’s presence before setting out, since the carriage drivers may provide only limited commentary.

“The drivers were great and super friendly. But there was no guide, and certainly not an Egyptologist. The drivers were only able to point out a few things, mostly where the hotels are. It's basically a horse carriage ride not a tour. And half of it is through city streets that are not very pretty.”

He explained every little detail in perfect Italian from the moment we left our hotel until late afternoon, passing through the Luxor Temple, the Karnak temple complex, the Valley of the Kings, and the Funerary Temple of Hatshepsut. Lunch with him was fantastic in a good, clean buffet restaurant with excellent food. Transportation for the entire day in a comfortable and cool 9-seater van was also excellent. He also recommended and accompanied us on a horse-drawn carriage tour early in the morning from Luxor Temple to the Karnak temple complex, allowing us to avoid queues and the mid-July heat. A…”
