Good to know
When is the best time to visit Luxor?
October to April, with November the sweet spot - comfortable days (~25-30C) and the clearest light for the temples. Summer tops 40C, so tour at dawn and hydrate. · egypttoursportal.com

Most Luxor-to-Aswan cruises sail 3-4 nights, stopping at Esna, Edfu and Kom Ombo. Options run from comfortable 5-star boats to intimate dahabiya sail boats; book Oct-Apr dates several months ahead. · cruisemapper.com
What can't I miss in Luxor?
Karnak and Luxor Temple on the East Bank; the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut's Temple and the Colossi of Memnon on the West Bank - ideally at dawn, before the heat and crowds. · unesco.org
