Each site opens on its own search: choose your dates there. A few open on their home page, where you type the place too.

Travel insurance
Check whether your bank card or home insurance already covers this trip.
If the trip needs a visa, the travel agent or visa centre usually sells the cover it asks for.
Mobile data (eSIM)
Your own plan's EU roaming may already cover this.
Renting a pocket Wi-Fi is the other common way to stay connected.
These are sites people in book with. Each opens in a new tab, on the site's own pages.

Ten-year averages for this calendar month. A rainy day is one with at least 1 mm of rain, as a weather station counts it. The model these figures come from drizzles more than a rain gauge, the more so the warmer the month, so its days count from 2 mm, rising to 5 mm in the hottest.
Weather read at the centre, on the east bank, 7 km from the airport (LXR): ten years of ERA5 and ERA5-Land reanalysis, through Open-Meteo's open data.

Public holidays in April
Holidays crowd a place out and push fares up around them; they count toward the crowd score above.

What to pack
- Light, loose clothes: daily highs average 35°C.
- A layer for the evening: 35°C by day, 19°C at night.
- Plan the middle of the day indoors: 15 days a month pass 35°C.
- Sun protection: about 12 hours of sunshine a day.
Each line is a threshold over the ten-year figures above, not advice from anywhere else.
Before you go
Type C and F plugs at 220 V. Drives on the right. The currency is the Egyptian pound. UK Foreign Office: avoid all travel to parts, avoid all but essential travel to parts. Global Affairs Canada: Exercise a high degree of caution (with regional advisories). US State Department: Level 2: Exercise Increased Caution. Everything for Egypt: cost of living, languages, emergency numbers and health.
On arrival in Luxor: the apps, paying, getting around, tipping and the emergency numbers.
