Luxor → Karnak Temple: key facts

Karnak Temple from Luxor Airport (LXR) by private transfer: €25 per car (1–3 people) or €35 per van (4–8), fixed per vehicle and identical to the checkout price. On the road it is 10 km, roughly 10 min when traffic is light and 10–20 min when it is not.

Meeting point: The driver waits in the public arrivals area of the terminal, just after visa and passport control, baggage reclaim and customs, holding a sign with your name. Flight tracking is included, the first hour after landing is free waiting time, and the driver carries your bags to the car.

Karnak is the vast temple complex of Amun-Ra on the northern edge of Luxor, on the East Bank, with the Great Hypostyle Hall, obelisks and an avenue of ram-headed sphinxes in front of the first pylon. From the airport the road heads west towards the city and then turns north along the inner streets towards the Corniche and the Karnak area, so the temple is reached without crossing the Nile. The trip is about 10 km and normally takes 15 to 20 minutes.

Cars drop visitors at the visitor centre and the parking area in front of the temple, on the Nile side, and from there a short walk across a large square leads to the ticket office and the sphinx avenue. Several hotels stand along the Corniche between Karnak and the city centre, and the restored Avenue of Sphinxes runs south from Karnak to the Luxor Temple, about 3 km away. The evening sound and light show is held at the temple on most nights, so drop-offs in the evening are common.

Public transport: The airport operator's website does not publish a public transport timetable.
