Discover the remarkable monuments, towering columns, sacred lake, and beautifully carved reliefs left by generations of pharaohs over nearly 2,000 years, making Karnak unique among Egypt's temples.

Continue your journey with a visit to the Luxor Museum, inaugurated in 1975 and regarded as one of Egypt's finest museums. Most of its remarkable collection was discovered in the ancient city of Thebes, offering a fascinating insight into the history of Luxor. Admire an outstanding selection of beautifully displayed statues, reliefs, jewelry, pottery, and everyday objects from the Pharaonic era. Highlights include the exceptionally well-preserved royal mummies of Pharaoh Ahmose I and Pharaoh Ramses I, which have been on display since 2004.

Though small in size, this fascinating museum offers an excellent introduction to the ancient Egyptian art of mummification, a sacred practice believed to ensure eternal life. Discover well-preserved human and animal mummies, embalming tools, canopic jars, and a collection of funerary objects traditionally placed in tombs to accompany the deceased into the afterlife. Informative displays provide valuable insight into one of ancient Egypt's most remarkable religious traditions.
Duration: 45 mins

Continue to the magnificent Luxor Temple, one of Egypt's most impressive ancient monuments. Once connected to Karnak Temple by the three-kilometer-long Avenue of Sphinxes, part of this spectacular processional road has now been beautifully restored and leads to the temple entrance. Admire the colossal statues of Pharaoh Ramses II guarding the gateway and see one of the original granite obelisks, while its twin now stands in Place de la Concorde in Paris, France.
