The Ultimate 3 Day Luxor Itinerary, Luxor, Egypt

First off, when I say independent, I don’t mean you’re travelling solo. Just that you have chosen to explore Luxor on your own as opposed to in a massive tour group or with a guide!

Kudos to you, not many explorers choose to adventure around Luxor by themselves. But, I can say with surety you’ll have a better time. Not only are you free to do what you want and on your own schedule. You can beat the crowds in the process which is a win in itself! Trust me, independent travellers are a minority in Egypt and the groups can get overwhelming.

There is so much to do in Luxor that it can be difficult to prioritise and you definitely want to make sure you don’t miss the best attractions. So, I’ve put together the perfect Luxor itinerary and I give you my express permission to steal it!

- You will need a visa for Egypt. These can be bought for $25USD at the immigration border or online beforehand. If you’re going to be returning to Egypt you’ll need to buy a multiple entry Visa in advance of travel. I’ve written a whole guide here about applying for UK citizens, but it applies for most countries.

- Don’t forget travel insurance! It’s more than possible that you will get sick in Egypt and this covers you for camel rides etc. I always choose World Nomad’s as they have competitive prices. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
