1Valley of the Kings
Absolutely the first choice for a trip to Luxor is to Visit the famous Tomb of king Tutankhamun , Ramasses and Pharaohs of Egypt Glory Era of 1500 BC. The ancient Egyptians built massive public monuments to their pharaohs. But they also spent time and treasure creating hidden underground mausoleums. The most famed collection of such elaborate tombs—the Valley of the Kings—lies on the Nile's west bank near Luxor.

2Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari
This Temple Honors the Egyptian Queen Who Ruled as King.Beneath the sheer, stark cliffs of Deir el Bahri, the mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut reveals one of the most extraordinary reigns in Egyptian history. Stepped platforms, pillared porticoes, and vibrant reliefs set against the desert backdrop make it one of the world’s most striking architectural masterpieces, but perhaps even more noteworthy is the woman who commissioned it. The eldest daughter of King Thutmose I, Hatshepsut first assumed the role of queen regent during the 18th dynasty after the death of her husband, Thutmose II. Although her stepson, Thutmose III, eventually came of age, she adopted the title of pharaoh and ruled for more than two decades. She was one of ancient Egypt's first female pharaohs.
