Luxor Museum & Museum of Mummification Guided Tour

On this tour, we'll see the Luxor Museum and the Museum of Mummification, the two most important and most visited museums in Egypt after the Cairo Egyptian Museum.

Tour Details

Having picked you up at your hotel or the boat where you're staying, we'll make our way to the Luxor Museum, the second most visited museum in the country, only beaten by the Cairo Egyptian Museum. This museum contains pieces that were excavated in historically relevant places in the region, such as the Luxor and Karnak temples. Jewels, ceramics, statues, and stone tablets form part of the extensive collection. Some masterworks include objects belonging to Tutankhamun, the statue of Thutmose III, and the Karnak temple mural.

Our next stop will be the Mummification Museum, protected by the god Anubis with her jackal-shaped head. Inaugurated in 1997, this museum explains the 70-day mummification process, including the origin of the instruments and the social exclusion faced by those who worked on the bodies.

After this history lesson, we'll take you back to your hotel.

Hotel Pickup

This activity includes pickup and drop-off from hotels and boats in Luxor along the Nile River's eastern riverbanks (right margin). If your hotel or boat is located on the Nile River's western (left margin) riverbanks, we'll contact you regarding a meeting point along the western banks.
