Yes, there are day trips from Cairo to Luxor, although it's important to note that Luxor is located approximately 650 kilometers (404 miles) south of Cairo. While a day trip to Luxor from Cairo is feasible, it involves a long journey, and you'll have limited time to explore the many historic sites in Luxor. Here's what you need to know if you want to take a day trip to Luxor from Cairo:
1. Flight: The most convenient way to travel from Cairo to Luxor for a day trip is by taking a domestic flight. Several airlines operate daily flights between Cairo International Airport (CAI) and Luxor International Airport (LXR). The flight duration is approximately one hour.
2. Early Departure: To make the most of your day in Luxor, you'll need to catch an early morning flight from Cairo, usually departing around dawn. This allows you to maximize your time at the archaeological sites.

Popular attractions in Luxor include the Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple, and the Colossi of Memnon.
