Itinerario

1. Your Egyptologist guide will meet you at your Luxor hotel or Nile Cruise lobby to start your tour of the Luxor Museum. The museum opened in 1975, showcases an impressive collection of artifacts primarily from the Middle Kingdom (2055 BC - c. 1650 BC), including pieces from the Theban temples and necropolis. In 2004, the museum was expanded with the "Glory of Thebes" exhibit, which houses remarkable collections from the New Kingdom (1570 - 1050 BC), including two royal mummies of Ahmose I and Ramses I. This is a must-visit destination for history lovers and those interested in ancient Egyptian culture.

This small museum showcases a collection of human and animal mummies, as well as the tools and techniques used in the mummification process. You will learn about the ancient Egyptian belief that mummification was a crucial step in achieving eternal life and see examples of objects traditionally buried with the deceased.

About Luxor

Luxor se alza sobre la antigua Tebas, con enormes templos en la orilla oriental del Nilo y, al otro lado, las tumbas reales del Valle de los Reyes.

En la orilla este, el complejo del templo de Karnak se extiende por hectáreas de pilonos, obeliscos y el bosque de columnas de su Gran Sala Hipóstila. Una avenida de esfinges lo une con el Templo de Luxor, en el centro de la ciudad, especialmente evocador cuando se ilumina por la noche. El Museo de Luxor y el Museo de la Momificación se encuentran a lo largo del paseo junto al río.
