Itinerário

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 ergue-se no local da antiga Tebas, com vastos templos na margem leste do Nilo e os túmulos reais do Vale dos Reis do outro lado do rio.

Na margem leste, o complexo do templo de Karnak estende-se por hectares de pilones, obeliscos e a floresta de colunas da sua Grande Sala Hipostila. Uma avenida de esfinges liga-o ao Templo de Luxor, no centro da cidade, especialmente evocador quando iluminado à noite. O Museu de Luxor e o Museu da Mumificação ficam ao longo da marginal do rio.

Top-ranked sights in Luxor: Valley of the Kings, Temple of Hatshepsut (at Deir el-Bahari), Colossi of Memnon.
