Is it worth visiting Luxor in summer, or is the heat too intense for sightseeing?
Based on 3 discussions with 3 participants · Last activity: 7 days ago
TL;DR
Summer sightseeing in Luxor is generally not recommended: from June to August, temperatures often reach 40–45°C, making tours exhausting. The best time for temples and tombs is October to March, or at least very early morning departures.
What the community said
The most recent feedback says summer is the wrong time for this trip: Luxor itself is impressive, but in peak heat the excursion feels exhausting rather than enjoyable.

Another traveler reports the same issue specifically in summer: the heat creates very uncomfortable conditions, and it significantly spoils the overall experience of excursions.
