Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit Luxor is during the winter months (December to February) when temperatures are mild and pleasant. However, each season offers unique experiences:
Winter (December-February) brings comfortable temperatures perfect for exploring temples and tombs. This is peak tourist season, as the weather is ideal for outdoor activities and sightseeing. Nights can be quite cool, so pack accordingly.
Spring (March-May) sees rapidly rising temperatures and possible sandstorms (known as Khamaseen). Early spring can still be pleasant, but late spring becomes very hot. Morning visits to archaeological sites are recommended as afternoons can be extremely warm.
Summer (June-August) is extremely hot with intense sunshine and temperatures regularly exceeding 40°C (104°F). While this is low tourist season, early morning or evening activities are essential. Indoor activities and Nile River cruises can provide relief from the heat.
Autumn (September-November) offers gradually cooling temperatures. Early autumn is still very hot, but late autumn brings more comfortable conditions similar to spring. This is a good time for sightseeing with fewer tourists than winter.
