Où se trouve l'aéroport de Louxor ?
Luxor International Airport lies 6 kilometers east of the city center, on the east bank of the Nile; the drive to the Corniche hotels takes 10-20 minutes. From Cairo, EgyptAir covers the route in about one hour, against roughly 650 kilometers and 8-10 hours by road.
Luxor International Airport exists for the monuments: the Valley of the Kings, Karnak, and the Nile cruise berths draw nearly all of its traffic. The current terminal opened in 2005 and handles around one million passengers a year against a design capacity of eight million, which keeps check-in and baggage queues short outside the winter peak.

Luxor Airport Terminal Facilities
The single terminal handles domestic and international flights with 48 check-in desks, 8 gates, and 5 baggage claim belts. Food is limited to a few cafes and snack bars, with a duty-free shop, a newsstand, and a pharmacy on the departures side and a post office landside. A bank counter, exchange bureaus, an automatic currency exchange machine (CIB), and ATMs cover money matters; the machines dispense large notes, so break them before the taxi rank. A tourist help desk and travel agency counters operate in arrivals. The only documented indoor smoking room is inside the Pearl Lounge on the international side, so smokers without lounge access should finish before security. Treat the free Wi-Fi as a bonus, not a plan: travelers regularly report no usable signal in the arrivals hall, so download maps and booking details before landing.
Compagnies aériennes à l'aéroport de Louxor :
EgyptAir connects Luxor with Cairo daily in about one hour. The rest of the timetable belongs to European leisure carriers, among them easyJet, TUI, and Edelweiss, concentrated in the October to April season. Routes change every winter; the airlines page carries the current list.
Parking et location de voitures à l'aéroport de Louxor

Transport aéroportuaire
- There is no public bus, minibus, or rail link at Luxor Airport. Arriving passengers leave by taxi, pre-booked transfer, hotel car, or rental car.
- Taxi: The rank operates outside arrivals around the clock. Agree the fare before the bags go in; meters are fitted but rarely used. Expect EGP 150 to 300 for the 10 to 20 minute run to the city center. Quotes at the terminal door run high, and travelers report street fares closer to EGP 100 after a five minute walk out to the main airport gate.
- Pre-booked transfer: Hotels, tour operators, and Nile cruise companies meet arrivals with a name board. This is the standard choice for cruise passengers working to a fixed embarkation time.
- Ride-hailing: Careem operates in Luxor; Uber barely does. Both need a working Egyptian SIM or eSIM, because the terminal Wi-Fi cannot be relied on for booking a car.

Louxor, Égypte : Thèbes antique
Luxor is built over ancient Thebes, Egypt’s capital at its height, and its monuments are the reason the airport exists. Karnak and Luxor Temple stand on the east bank, a short drive from the terminal and the Corniche hotels. The Valley of the Kings, the Valley of the Queens and the mortuary temples lie across the river on the west bank, reached by the bridge or the local ferry; the West Bank and Valley of the Kings pages cover the transfer.
