Luxor Airport taxi fares and flat rate

Luxor Airport taxi rates can vary considerably and are difficult to predict. Although most cabs will be fitted with meters, many drivers choose not to use them, instead offering fixed fees for rides from the airport. As such, Luxor Airport taxi fares can look a little different for everyone.

On average, a standard taxi from Luxor Airport to the city center should be between €2.90 (EGP 150) and €4.80 (EGP 250). Prices go up to around €6.70 (EGP 350) for trips to the Valley of the Kings or €35 (EGP 1,830) for longer journeys to places like Qena.

These fares are roughly what you should be expecting to pay, but because most drivers don’t use meters and prices aren’t always regulated, you’ll likely find you’ll be asked to pay much more. To get a fair price, you’ll usually need to negotiate with the driver, which may require some persistence. Some drivers may also increase the fare depending on the time of day, the size of the vehicle, and how much luggage you have.

The best way to avoid getting overcharged or wasting your valuable vacation time haggling with drivers is to book a Luxor Airport taxi with a trustworthy private transfer company like Welcome Pickups. We offer low-cost fares without any hidden fees and air-conditioned vehicles that take the stress out of the journey to your destination.
