Day Tour to visit Luxor and Mummification Museums

Enjoy a Day tour to Luxor Museum which contains the objects that were found in the tomb of Tutankhamen also visiting the mummification Museum which represents the mummification art.

Duration: 6 Hours
Egypt

Overview:

We will be glad to pick you from your hotel in Luxor to let you visit the Luxor Museum, inaugurated in 1975, housed in a small, purpose-built building. The range of artifacts on display is far more restricted than the country's main collections in the Museum of Antiquities in Cairo; this was, however, deliberate, since the museum prides itself on the quality of the pieces it has, the uncluttered way in which they are displayed, and the clear multilingual labeling used. Among the most striking items on show are grave goods from the tomb of Tutankhamun (KV62) and a collection of 26 exceptionally well preserved New Kingdom statues that were found buried in a cache in nearby Luxor Temple in 1989. Then continue the tour to visit the majestic Mummification Museum which contains everything you would ever want to know about mummification. The ancient Egyptians believed that in order for a person to reach heaven it was essential that both their body and their name remained so their Soul would be transported from one life to the next. In order to achieve this, the mummification rituals were developed to preserve the body. The museum contains several human and animal mummies as well as the tools and the canopic jars needed for the ritual.

  • All transfers will be arranged by an air-conditioned private vehicle.
  • English speaking licensed guide throughout the trip.
