Luxor Transportation Tips by Mark_Harris

On your bike! Bicycle Review

The best way to get around Luxor in winter is by bike. These can be hired from most hotels, or from one of the many hire shops.

Whenever you leave your bike you can be sure someone will be there to look after it. Please remember to give them a small tip.

Luxor itself is flat and all sites are within a short ride of the centre.

For the monuments on the West Bank take your bike across the Nile on the local ferry from opposite Luxor temple.

You can't get lost - just head directly away from the river and you'll soon be at the Colossi of Memnon.

About 400m further up the road is the ticket office where you can buy tickets for all the sites.

The Valley of the Kings is a long uphill ride, but it's fairly gentle. Coming back is fun!

There's no need to return from the Valley of the King's by the same road. It's much shorter, easier and more interesting to carry straight on past the Temple of Set I.
