Tips for 25 min Connections
Avoid booking connections through Luxor if at all possible, as it is designed for origin/destination tourist traffic, not transfers.
Any international-to-domestic or domestic-to-international connection requires a full exit through immigration and re-entry through check-in and security.
Build in several hours of buffer, since there is no airside transfer facility and baggage must typically be reclaimed and rechecked.
Airport is at its busiest during peak Nile cruise and tour group arrival windows in the early morning and late morning, so lines can be longer then.
If your connection involves EgyptAir, confirm with the airline whether they can issue a through-checked itinerary, as informal self-connections carry real risk of missing the second flight.

Moderate
High risk
Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
Getting Between Concourses
There is effectively one terminal building with domestic and international flights processed through shared but separately staffed check-in and gate areas. Passengers connecting between an international arrival and a domestic or international departure must exit through immigration/customs, collect bags, and re-check in, as there is no airside transfer desk or through-baggage system for most itineraries.
