H/D visit Luxor Museum

Información

Take a trip to Luxor Museum, the little sister of the famous Museum of Egyptian Antiquities in Cairo. The building occupies a spot right on the West Bank of the River Nile. If you’ve been to Cairo Museum, you’ll notice this place is much smaller. That’s because only the most well-preserved and significant artefacts are on display – most of them found in Luxor’s ancient sites, like the Valley of the Kings and Karnak Temple. Some of the highlights of the museum include an alabaster double statue featuring the ancient crocodile-headed god, Sobek, and the 18th Dynasty pharaoh, Amenhotep III. There’s also a small selection of relics found in the tomb of the boy king, Tutankhamun. Finally, you can stare into the millennia-old faces of the mummies of Ahmose I and Ramasses I.
