Tour Itinerary
Luxor Museum
Begin at the Luxor Museum on the Corniche, one of the best small museums in Egypt, known for its carefully chosen collection and clear, uncluttered displays. Highlights include the superb statues found in the Luxor Temple cachette in 1989, the royal mummy of Ahmose I, objects from the tomb of Tutankhamun and a reconstructed wall from Akhenaten's temple at Karnak. Your Egyptologist explains how each piece fits into the story of ancient Thebes.
Mummification Museum
A short walk along the Corniche brings you to the Mummification Museum, which explains how the ancient Egyptians preserved the dead for the afterlife. See the tools, oils and resins used by the embalmers, canopic jars that held the organs, and mummified animals including a crocodile, a cat and a ram sacred to Amun. It is compact and fascinating, and a perfect companion to a visit to the tombs of the West Bank, before you return to your hotel.
