Getting to Luxor

Air
There are flights to Luxor airport but most people prefer to fly to Cairo due to lower prices and the frequency of flights. Daily flights to Cairo, served by most major international carriers can be found from capital cities all around the world. The flight Cairo - Luxor is about one hour.

Train
The most comfortable way to get to Luxor from Cairo is probably an air-conditioned train. From Cairo airport you can take a taxi to Ramses station and then catch a train to Luxor. The trains between Cairo and Luxor or Aswan, for which tourists will be sold tickets, are the overnight deluxe sleeper trains. You can choose a bed/seat either in the sleeping-carriages or the carriages with seats, and possibly also the 22:00 ordinary seats express from Cairo (train number 2000). The daytime trains are officially ´for Egyptians only´. If you have an international student card there is a 50% discount on train journeys. The journey is about nine hours long in clean and comfortable trains. If you need more information please contact us.
