Half-Day Luxor Museum and Mummification Museum

Overview

At 10am, your tour guide will pick you up from your hotel to start your half day journey visiting the Luxor Museum and the Mummification Museum. Located in the Egyptian city of Luxor (ancient Thebes), the Luxor Museum stands on the Corniche overlooking the west bank of the River Nile in its central area. Opened in 1975, this small purpose-built building has a limited range of artifacts on display compared to other major collections like Cairo's Museum of Antiquities; however, this is intentional as it prides itself on presenting quality pieces with uncluttered displays and clear multilingual labels. Afterwards, you'll be transferred to the Mummification Museum which is situated on Corniche facing Mina Palace Hotel north of Luxor Temple and by the banks of River Nile. It provides visitors an understanding into ancient mummification art. Ancient Egyptians applied embalming techniques not just for humans but also cats, fish and crocodiles; here one can get an idea about tools used. Finally, you'll go back to your hotel in Luxor.
