 LXR Luxor Airport by Bike


Luxor International Airport Bike

Not at the Luxor Airport, but for the extremely brave Luxor is brimming with rental shops for bikes and a great many hotels also hire out bicycles. Rental rates vary from roughly EGP 5-20, depending on your bargaining skills, the relative demand on bikes that day and the quality of the bike in question. Check the tires and be wary of last minute inflating of tires. They may deflate just as fast. It is quite normal for people to be asked to leave behind their passport, drivers licence, or student ID card as a guarantee of return.

 

Bikes can be rented on both the East and West Banks of Luxor (the latter near the local ferry landing), though the choice and quality of bikes is usually better in the East, and prices can be a little over-inflated on the more isolated West. Note that bikes can be taken on board the local ferry,so feel free to hire on the East, then transport your bike over yourself. Do watch Egyptian traffic before deciding if you want to ride a bike through it.



 LXR Luxor Airport by Boat


Luxor International Airport Boat

An essential way of getting between the East and West banks of Luxor is to use a boat. As you walk by the river in Luxor, dozens of felucca owners will offer you their services to haul you over the river, and normally a taxi driver will be on standby on the other side. This of course is all at a very inflated price, EGP 20-30 and that is if they do not give you an extra excursion (not necessarily what you asked for). It is much easier to take the blue local ferry, a very basic boat that you can use for around EGP 1, sometimes EGP 0.50. Taxis are available at the ferry terminal on both sides, and the trip takes just a few minutes.


IHT Nile crossing tip: If you need to get across the Nile, make sure to look for the 'local' ferry and not the tourist boat. Usually both are only about 100m apart, but you will likely be directed to the more expensive one! Expect to be ripped off on the local ferry too, so watch what everyone else is paying and do the same and don't ask the price!
