Luxor Museum
Parim aeg külastamiseks
It is worth arriving in the early afternoon, because the morning tour groups have already left the halls by then. There are also far fewer visitors on midweek days than on Fridays and Sundays.

The entrance ticket costs approximately 300 Egyptian pounds for adults and half of that for students and children. Holders of the Luxor Pass can enter for free, and the ticket price also includes the photography permit in the non-mummy halls.

Teave
Kiired faktid: The collection features only a few hundred objects, but every single one is of outstanding quality, which is why it is considered one of the best small museums in the world. The exhibition showcases the masterpieces of the age of the pharaohs in a modern museum layout with excellent lighting, something that can hardly be found anywhere else in Egypt.
Esiletõstmised: The biggest sensation is the two royal mummies from Tutankhamun's tomb, which were brought here in 2019 and can now be viewed in a separate hall in climate-controlled glass cases. The other wonder of the museum is the crocodile hall statues from the reign of Amenhotep III, which were found in the twentieth century in a single hiding place preserved in flawless condition.
Sisekujunduse nõuanded
- Photography is forbidden in the mummy hall, but in the other halls you are free to take photos without flash, so it is worth taking advantage of this.
- The café terrace on the upper level offers a wonderful view of the Nile, so take a rest there halfway through your visit.
- Instead of the loud tour guides, it is worth choosing the audioguide that can be rented at the entrance, which also offers a recording in Hungarian.
- Avoid the arrival times of the big cruises; the museum is typically flooded between 9 and 11 in the morning.
