H/D visit of the replica of Tutankhamen's tomb and Carter's house in the West Bank and Luxor museum

Información

Today, you’ll learn more about Egypt’s most famous pharaoh, before coming face-to-face with some spectacular relics from the ancient era. The morning begins with a drive to a newly-opened tomb that’s an exact replica of Tutankhamun’s burial chamber. The boy king is the country’s most famous, and his real tomb has suffered damage over the years because of the huge numbers of visitors it has drawn in. This lookalike version is made to exact standards, and has an adjoining museum showcasing preservation efforts on the real thing. Later, you’ll stop by the house of the man who found King Tut’s tomb, Howard Carter, before arriving at Luxor Museum. It’s smaller than Cairo’s famous collection of ancient artefacts, but Luxor Museum prides itself on its neat arrangement of high-quality, well-preserved pieces.
