TL;DR
Summer 2026 in Luxor isn't extremely hot: July temperatures were around 34-38°C (93-100°F), and the heat is manageable if you avoid direct sun and take breaks in air-conditioned spaces around midday. Tours are still being sold, but in summer they're usually scheduled for early morning or evening only, avoiding the midday heat.
This year's heat isn't extreme — around 34-38°C (93-100°F) in July. It's manageable if you avoid direct sun and retreat to air-conditioning at least during midday hours.
A traveler asked how the heat is handled with a child in late August, and whether hotels/rooms match what was booked in the tour package (e.g., sea view vs. desert view — more relevant to resort areas than Luxor itself).
Excursions to Luxor are still being sold in summer, but typically only as early morning or evening tours due to the heat — midday city tours aren't offered.
A combined 'Luxor + Dendera' excursion booked through Biblio Globus tour operator was enjoyable and not too tiring — a good option for a summer visit.
