Best Time to Visit Luxor: Month-by-Month Guide
15 Oct 2026 · 1 min read
Luxor is hot in summer and pleasant in winter, so timing matters.
October to April
Daytime temperatures are comfortable, which makes long walks through Karnak and the Valley of the Kings easy. December and January are the busiest months, so book early.
May to September
Expect very high temperatures. Start tours at sunrise and finish by midday.
Tip
A sunrise hot air balloon flight works well all year, because mornings are cooler.
