# Opening hours and last entry Source: https://luxor101.com/plan/opening-hours Language: en What time do the sites in Luxor open and close? # Opening hours and last entry Check the current opening hours and last-entry time for each site. There is no single timetable for Luxor: temples, museums and individual tombs can follow different arrangements, with seasonal or holiday changes. An evening visit to Luxor Temple does not mean Karnak or a west-bank site will be open then. If our site guide has no verified time, use the official listing or contact the venue before travelling. ## Before you go Check three things for every visit: when the site opens, when ticket sales or last admission stop, and when you must leave. These may be different times. Give yourself enough room to enjoy the visit after entering. Opening hours belong to individual venues, not to whole banks of the river. Luxor Temple has an evening visiting tradition, but Karnak, museums and west-bank sites need separate checks. Seasonal, Ramadan and holiday arrangements can change; do not infer a timetable from the time of sunset. An open site may contain closed tombs, chapels or galleries. Conservation work and other restrictions can affect individual spaces without closing the whole monument. Confirm access to any interior that is central to your plans. For a hot day, aim to visit exposed sites early and rest during the hottest hours. Fit later visits around confirmed opening times. A museum is only a useful midday option if it is open then. The published hours below come from official online sources; field verification is still pending. Check the official venue information before setting out, and again if your plans depend on a late arrival. ## Published visitor information Official online information checked on 19 September 2026.
