On the third day of your itinerary in Luxor, there are plenty of exciting things to do. Luxor is a city steeped in the history of Egypt, particularly during the New Kingdom when it was the capital. One of the must-see attractions is the Valley of the Kings, where the famous pharaoh Ramses the Great and other powerful nobles were laid to rest. The tombs in this ancient necropolis offer a fascinating glimpse into the afterlife beliefs of the ancient Egyptians.
Another highlight of the day is a visit to the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, a stunning monument dedicated to one of Egypt's most remarkable female rulers. You can also marvel at the Colossi of Memnon, two massive stone statues that once guarded the entrance to a now-vanished temple.
On the East Bank, don't miss the Karnak Temples, a vast complex of temples, chapels, and other buildings dedicated to the Theban triad of Amun, Mut, and Khonsu. The Temple of Luxor is another impressive sight, especially when illuminated at night.
To make the most of your time, consider taking an East and West Bank day tour, which will allow you to see all these incredible attractions in one day. There are also various Luxor Sightseeing tours available, offering different perspectives on the city's rich history and archaeological wonders.
