Luxor Museum & Mummification Museum — Overview
Located on the scenic Corniche overlooking the Nile, the Luxor Museum houses a brilliantly curated collection of antiquities dating from the end of the Old Kingdom through the Mamluk period, mostly gathered from the Theban temples and necropolis.
Unlike the crowded halls of older museums, the Luxor Museum takes pride in its spacious, elegantly lit displays. Highlights include a stunning double statue of the crocodile god Sobek and Amenhotep III, an astonishing collection of statues unearthed from a hidden cache in the Luxor Temple, and the well-preserved mummies of pharaohs Ahmose I and Ramses I.
A short distance away lies the Mummification Museum, a unique facility dedicated entirely to the ancient Egyptian art of embalming. Your expert guide will walk you through the fascinating step-by-step process, showcasing ancient surgical tools, preserving materials, and beautifully mummified animals. This tour acts as the perfect indoor complement to the open-air temples of Luxor.
