Luxor → Valley of the Kings: key facts

Getting from Luxor Airport (LXR) to Valley of the Kings takes about 30 min by car on an empty road (30–40 min in heavy traffic) over 21 km. Our private transfer costs €30 for a car with 1–3 passengers or €45 for a van with 4–8 — the vehicle price you see is the price you pay at booking.

On arrival: 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. If the flight is late, the driver adjusts to the real landing time; 60 minutes of waiting are included and help with the luggage is part of the service.

The Valley of the Kings is the desert valley in the Theban Hills on the West Bank of the Nile where the pharaohs of the New Kingdom were buried in rock-cut tombs, including the tomb of Tutankhamun. From the airport the route skirts the south of Luxor, crosses the Nile on the Luxor bridge and runs north through the villages and sugar cane fields of the West Bank, past the Colossi of Memnon, before climbing into the valley. The drive is about 21 km and takes around 30 minutes.

The road ends at the visitor centre and the large car park at the mouth of the valley; from there a small electric shuttle runs to the tomb area, a few hundred metres further in. There is little shade inside the valley, and the tombs open for the day vary, so many visitors come early in the morning. The Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahari lies just on the other side of the ridge, but by road it is reached back via the valley road and the West Bank villages, a drive of a few kilometres.

Public transport: No public transport links Luxor airport with the Valley of the Kings, which lies on the West Bank and is reached by road only.
