Luxor 🇪🇬 | Budget Solo Traveler's One-Day Temple Route

Luxor's core landmarks can be covered in a single day with a mix of walking 🚶🏻‍♀️, tuk-tuks 🛺, motorbikes 🏍️, and taxis 🚗—all under 200 EGP in transport costs. No need for private cars! 🚀 Recommended Route: Hot air balloon → Free shuttle to Medinat Habu → Walk to Deir el-Medina → Tuk-tuk (50 EGP) to Valley of the Kings → Taxi (120 EGP) or public ferry to Karnak Temple → Sunset by the Nile → Motorbike (20 EGP) to Luxor Temple for night views. 🎫 Tickets: Buy e-tickets online at egymonuments.com (credit card required). Scan QR codes at entrances—no student ID checks or ticket queues! 🌅 East Bank 📍 Luxor Temple Ticket: 500 EGP / Student: 250 EGP (¥36). Best at night (open until 8 PM)—lighting makes the pillar forest magical! 📍 Karnak Temple Ticket: 600 EGP / Student: 300 EGP (¥43). Closes at 4 PM. Egypt’s largest temple complex—don’t miss the 146 giant pillars with surviving colors! 🌄 West Bank 📍 Colossi of Memnon Free. Quick photo stop (visible from hot air balloons or en route to Medinat Habu). 📍 Medinat Habu (Ramses III Temple) Ticket: 220 EGP / Student: 110 EGP (¥14). E-ticket advantage: Skip the detour to the Antiquities Ticket Office. Highlights: Stunning blue-themed reliefs + fewer crowds. 📍 Deir el-Medina (Workers' Village) 15-min walk from Medinat Habu. Ticket: 220 EGP / Student: 110 EGP (¥14). Includes: 3 tombs + a temple with exceptionally preserved colorful murals (different style from Valley of the Kings). Transport tip: Flag a tuk-tuk (50 EGP) to Valley of the Kings from the ticket office intersection. 📍 Valley of the Queens Walkable, but skip if QV66 (Nefertari’s Tomb) is closed (under renovation; tickets unavailable online). 📍 Valley of the Kings Ticket: 750 EGP / Student: 325 EGP (¥47). E-ticket hack: Scan to enter all free tombs (staff only check QR codes). 4-5 tombs are enough—overkill leads to "pharaoh fatigue." Paid tombs: Only visited KV9 (cheapest at 180 EGP). 💰 Budget Breakdown: Transport: <200 EGP Tickets: ~1,500 EGP (with student discounts) Food/Extras: 100–200 EGP #SoloTravel #BudgetEgypt #LuxorGuide #BackpackingEgypt #TravelHacks #AncientEgypt
