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.
