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 world's oldest Egyptian museum, established almost 100 years before Cairo's museum. Jean-François Champollion noted that "The road to Memphis and Thebes passes through Turin."

As we explore the museum's various rooms, you'll encounter sarcophagi, mummies, canopic jars, and other artifacts from ancient Egypt. The museum features an area focused on papyrus and hieroglyphics writing.

One highlight of the tour will be the Temple of Ellesiya, constructed during the reign of Pharaoh Thutmose III. The guide will share information about this site and other artifacts in the museum.

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