On the road
Expect a whole day on the road down the Nile Valley, and that is before any stops. A flight or the sleeper train is usually faster, so the car is really worth it when you want to stop at Minya or Dendera along the way.
That is a whole day in the car. Ask the company to plan rest stops, or a night on the way, if you want one.
The same car does the trip in reverse too, so this page also covers Luxor to Cairo.
Drop-off points
Luxor East Bank hotels, the Nile cruise docks, the West Bank and Luxor International Airport.
