The Ultimate 3 Day Luxor Itinerary, Luxor, Egypt

First off, when I say independent, I don’t mean you’re travelling solo. Just that you have chosen to explore Luxor on your own as opposed to in a massive tour group or with a guide!

Kudos to you, not many explorers choose to adventure around Luxor by themselves. But, I can say with surety you’ll have a better time. Not only are you free to do what you want and on your own schedule. You can beat the crowds in the process which is a win in itself! Trust me, independent travellers are a minority in Egypt and the groups can get overwhelming.

There is so much to do in Luxor that it can be difficult to prioritise and you definitely want to make sure you don’t miss the best attractions. So, I’ve put together the perfect Luxor itinerary and I give you my express permission to steal it!
