Turin Museo Egizio Tour

At the selected time, we'll meet at 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, founded nearly 100 years before Cairo's museum. Famous Egyptologist Jean-François Champollion remarked, "The road to Memphis and Thebes passes through Turin."

During the tour, we will explore various rooms of the museum, viewing sarcophagi, mummies, canopic jars, and remnants of ancient Egypt. An area dedicated to papyrus and hieroglyphics writing is included.

A highlight of the tour will be the Temple of Ellesiya, constructed during the reign of Pharaoh Thutmose III. Our guide will provide insights into this and other artifacts in the museum.

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