Bastet Travel in Luxor: tours, temples and Nile cruises

Bastet Travel sells organised trips across Egypt and has a local Google Maps listing in Luxor. Its online offer combines day visits, private packages, cruises and multi-day journeys, so the agency’s profile extends beyond the city’s monuments even though Luxor is prominent in its catalogue. The Maps listing uses the name “Luxor Tours - Bastet Travel,” links to bastettravel.com and classifies the business as a travel agency in Luxor. That connection between listing and website supports attributing the catalogue to the same business, while also making it sensible to ask which arrangements the company operates itself and which are supplied by partners.

For Luxor, Bastet publishes half-day and full-day visits to the East and West Banks. The highlights include Karnak, Luxor Temple, the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut and the Colossi of Memnon. Together these stops show the contrast between ceremonial complexes on the east side and the tomb-and-funerary landscape on the west. The company also advertises multi-day journeys from Luxor towards Aswan, with Edfu and Kom Ombo on the route and the option to continue to Abu Simbel. A one-day trip from another resort can mean many hours on the road, while an extra night allows visits to be spread out and each place to be seen at a less hurried pace.

The Nile is another central strand. The catalogue includes classic Luxor–Aswan cruises, packages with Abu Simbel, dahabiya options and seven-night programs. Published descriptions mention private air-conditioned transport, airport or station pickup, an English-speaking Egyptologist guide and visits to major sites; inclusions vary by package. Check the vessel name and category, meal plan, which excursions are private or shared, entrance fees and included transfers. Titles and logistics may change between itineraries, so the final confirmation should be a dated written quotation.

The agency extends its offer with trips from Hurghada, Cairo and Marsa Alam, flights for reaching Giza or the Grand Egyptian Museum, routes to Siwa and circuits combining several regions. It also lists sunrise balloon flights over Luxor and excursions focused on temples such as Karnak. The variety lets travelers request a plan around their available days and overnight location, but calls for a close look at travel times. A trip advertised as “from Luxor” may involve flights or long road sections and is not the same as a visit beginning and ending downtown. Ask about door-to-door duration, guide language, meals, admissions, weather limits and alternatives if an activity is cancelled.

Visible Google Maps reviews often mention guides, cruises, temples and the Valley of the Kings. Some travelers highlight their guide’s knowledge and the coordination of multi-day routes between Luxor and Aswan. Such impressions identify what matters most on a visit—explanations, timing, vehicle and sequence—but do not replace the terms for an individual product. This research did not attribute a Tripadvisor score: no exact listing for this Luxor branch could be confirmed with enough confidence, so external reputation here is limited to the Google Maps listing and the comments shown there.

Bastet Travel links Facebook, Instagram and a YouTube channel from its website. Google Maps gives the address as “Luxor City” and lists +20 15 50191399; because this is a general location rather than a street address, request the exact meeting point before setting out. The website brings together trips of different lengths and budgets, from a half-day visit to a multi-day cruise. For a useful comparison, ask for every stop, separate entrance fees, vessel category, group size and supplier names. This helps distinguish itinerary design from the actual operation of flights, hotels and ships.
