Hospitals in Luxor

For serious, potentially life-threatening issues that require immediate, specialized treatment, like breathing difficulties, severe bleeding, or head injuries. Non-urgent visits use up resources needed for emergency patients. ERs are for serious, life-threatening issues. Going there for something like allergy adds to doctors’ workload and may take time away from those in critical need.

Pharmacies in Luxor, Egypt

In Luxor, pharmacies are called saydalia in Arabic (صيدلية) or simply “pharmacy.” They are identifiable by a green cross or signage showing the word “pharmacy” in both English and Arabic. Pharmacies are commonly found near tourist areas, main streets, and local markets, with many open late or operating 24 hours a day.

Antibiotic Policy in Luxor

In Luxor, antibiotics are officially available only with a doctor’s prescription, though in practice, many pharmacies may sell them without one.

In Luxor, the primary emergency numbers are 122 for police, 123 for ambulance/medical emergencies, and 180 for the fire brigade/civil defence. These numbers are toll-free and available 24/7 from any phone.
