    Luxor Museum

    Your tour guide will pick you up from your hotel to begin your visit to the fabulous Luxor Museum. This museum houses a remarkable collection of artifacts, most of which were discovered in the area of ancient Thebes, modern-day Luxor. The highlights of this collection include masterpieces of pharaonic art and examples of everyday objects used by ancient Egyptians. One of the museum's significant features is several galleries dedicated to a spectacular group of statues found in 1989, hidden beneath the floor of the Luxor Temple. Additionally, there is a newly built annex that focuses on Egypt's Golden Age during the New Kingdom (circa 1550-1070 BC). This annex includes two royal mummies and offers a short film on ancient papyrus and vase-making techniques. The labels in the museum are provided in both Arabic and English to enhance your understanding of the exhibits.
