Description

During this immersive experience, participants will explore the Luxor Museum and the Museum of Mummification, which together are recognized as some of the most significant cultural institutions in Egypt, following the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.

Tour Details

We'll start our journey after picking you up from your accommodation, whether it's a hotel or a riverboat. Our first destination will be the Luxor Museum, renowned as Egypt's second most frequented museum, just behind the Cairo Egyptian Museum.

This museum houses artifacts unearthed from various historically significant sites in the area, including the Luxor and Karnak temples. The extensive collection features jewelry, ceramics, statues, and stone tablets. Among its prized exhibits are items belonging to Tutankhamun, the statue of Thutmose III, and murals from the Karnak temple.

Next, we will visit the Mummification Museum, guarded by Anubis, the deity with a jackal head. Established in 1997, this museum delves into the intricate 70-day mummification process, offering insights into unique rituals, the origins of the tools used, and the social stigma faced by those involved in mummification.

Following this enlightening exploration of ancient practices, we will return you to your accommodation.
