Arriving in Luxor West Bank
The west bank is where the tombs are, and where the balloon flights lift off before dawn. Guesthouses here are scattered across farmland between the antiquities sites, with addresses that mean nothing to a driver who does not work the area.
Transfers cross the Nile at the Luxor bridge south of town, which adds a few kilometres but avoids the ferry entirely with luggage.
