Valley of the Kings
The miraculous Valley of the Kings is located on the heart of a hill deep on the west bank of the Nile opposite Luxor. It lies within the heart of the Theban Necropolis. Contains 63 royal tombs belonging to the greatest Pharaohs of the 18th, 19th and 20th dynasties of the New Kingdom (1570 – 1050 BC). Among them are Ramses the Great, Hatshepsut, Seti I, Tutankhamen and many others. The valley is famous for the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun. In 1979 it became a World Heritage Site, along with the rest of the Theban Necropolis.
Hatshepsut Temple
The Hatshepsut Temple (1507–1458 BC) was carved by hand over 15 years across the mountain hills of Deir El Bahari. It was opened to the public in 1479 BC. This temple was built to honor the blessings of the creator sun god Amun and to showcase the legacy of Hatshepsut, one of the most successful pharaohs in ancient Egypt. It is among the well-preserved architectural monuments in the world.
Colossi of Memnon
The Colossi of Memnon built for Pharaoh Amenhotep III (1386 – 1349 BC) is a colossal masterpiece created around 1350 BC in Cairo. These statues have stood the test of time. Were renovated many times especially during the Greco-Roman period. They became famous for the Vocal Phenomenon a mysterious sound said to emanate from one of the statues at dawn. Across both statues are decorations that depict the history of the great Pharaoh, his family and images of the god Hapi.

The important section was built between 2000 BC and 30 BC spanning the Middle Kingdom to the Greco-Roman period across 247 acres of land. It features temples and shrines dedicated to various gods.

To make the best of your Luxor day tours you should visit the east and west bank attractions such as the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, Colossal of Memnon, Karnak, and Luxor Temples.
If you don't have time in your plan for Egypt day tours, you can explore the famous attractions of Luxor in two days, but the recommended duration is three of four days.
The day in Luxor may cost from $65 to $120 per day in Luxor according to the attractions that are included in the itinerary of the day.
A one-day tour to Luxor is preferable to not visiting the city at all. Luxor's biggest attractions can be seen in a half day in Luxor east and west banks. A one-day excursion to Luxor can include visits to Hatshepsut Temple, the Valley of the Kings, and possibly one or two other monuments. The honest response is that a single day in Luxor is insufficient.
As the ruins of the Egyptian temple complexes at Karnak and Luxor are located within the contemporary city, Luxor has sometimes been referred to as the "world's greatest open-air museum".
