Is a Luxor day trip from Hurghada worth doing in summer, and how do you handle the heat?
Based on 2 discussions with 3 participants · Last activity: 16 days ago
TL;DR
Yes, people still do Luxor trips from Hurghada in summer, but extreme heat is the main issue. Bring plenty of water, wear a hat and light long-sleeved clothing, and avoid too much exposure around midday, especially with kids.
What the community said
For a summer trip to Luxor, the main challenge is the heat rather than the route itself. With proper preparation — extra water, light covering clothing, and realistic expectations about walking in strong sun — the excursion is still doable.

A practical summer tip is to drink more water, stay in the shade during the middle of the day, and wear a hat. This matters even more in peak summer, since Luxor often feels harsher than Hurghada.

With children, any summer excursion or long walk in the heat needs extra caution: even a 700-meter walk in direct sun can feel exhausting, and the lack of shade or rinse facilities makes it worse. Families are better off choosing very early departures and checking how much walking is involved.
