Find a Travel Companion
in Luxor
The world's greatest open-air museum, where the Valley of the Kings and Karnak Temple guard 3,000 years of pharaonic glory on the banks of the Nile.
Travel better in Luxor with the right person
Split costs
A solo traveller in Luxor spends about ~$30–60 USD a day. Accommodation, transport, guided tours and day trips all cost less split two ways.
Stay safer
A travel companion means someone knows your plans, can help navigate emergencies, and makes you less of a target in unfamiliar areas of Luxor.
Go deeper
The best experiences in Luxor (the off-menu restaurant, the dawn hike, the local's favourite spot) are found with a curious companion, not a guidebook.
Matched by style
Roammate filters by travel pace, budget range, and interests, so you connect with someone genuinely compatible, not just whoever's in the same hostel dorm.
Meeting someone new in Luxor
Agreeing to travel with someone you met online is a real decision. Here is what sits between matching and meeting.
Verified profiles
Travellers can verify their identity with a government-ID and liveness check, and verified accounts carry a badge you can filter on.
Chat before you commit
Message in the app and get a sense of someone first. Nothing obliges you to share contact details, or to meet at all.
Report and block
If someone makes you uncomfortable, report or block them at any point, before or after you have arranged anything.
Emergency SOS
Add emergency contacts before you travel. If something goes wrong in Luxor, raise an alert to them from inside the app.

Worth agreeing on before you meet
Respect the Sites
Don't touch tomb paintings or temple reliefs. Oils from hands damage the pigments. No flash photography in tombs. Stay on designated paths. These sites have survived 3,000+ years because previous generations protected them.
Baksheesh Culture
Tipping is deeply woven into Egyptian life and supplements low wages. Tomb guards, bathroom attendants, and helpful locals expect E£5–20. It's not a scam. It's the economy. Carry lots of small notes.
Full detail (itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety) is in the Luxor travel guide.
