What size vehicle will you use?

We assign an air-conditioned vehicle sized to your party, from a standard saloon to a private minibus. Tell us the exact passenger and luggage count when you book so we can allocate appropriate space. Oversized items or large groups may require a larger vehicle.

Background

The facts

The Luxor Downtown to Luxor Airport Departure Transfer is a private road transfer from accommodation or another agreed pickup point in central Luxor to Luxor International Airport (LXR). Discovery Tours Egypt is a licensed Egyptian tour operator that arranges the transfer; the vehicle is provided by a third-party supplier.

The route runs east from Luxor’s built-up area towards the airport. The road distance is approximately 7 km, and the drive commonly takes about 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the pickup point and traffic. Allow extra time for airport check-in and any road delays.

Luxor occupies the east and west banks of the Nile in Upper Egypt. The city’s principal archaeological sites include Luxor Temple and Karnak Temple on the east bank, and the Theban Necropolis on the west bank. These sites are separate from the airport transfer route and are not sightseeing stops.

We'll confirm child-seat availability when you book. Allow the driver access to your flight number and arrival or departure time if flight tracking is offered.
