Turin Museo Egizio Tour

At the selected time, we'll meet at the Via Accademia delle Scienze and head to the Museo Egizio to begin this guided tour.

We'll enter the oldest Egyptian museum in the world, the Museo Egizio in Turin, founded almost 100 years earlier than Cairo's museum. The famous Jean-François Champollion remarked, "The road to Memphis and Thebes passes through Turin".

As we explore the different rooms of the museum, we'll see sarcophagi, mummies, canopic jars, and other artifacts from ancient Egypt. The museum also features an area dedicated to papyrus and hieroglyphics writing.

A key highlight during the guided tour will be the Temple of Ellesiya, built during the reign of Pharaoh Thutmose III. The guide will provide insights about this and many other artifacts in the museum.

The tour will conclude outside the Egyptian Museum after two hours of exploration.
