📍 Mummification Museum – Luxor, Egypt 🏺🧭 💡 Read till the end for an insider tip! A small yet fascinating museum located along the Nile, offering a deep dive into the art and science of mummification practiced by ancient Egyptians. While the entry fee is quite high for its size, the exhibits and explanations make it a worthwhile visit for anyone interested in ancient Egyptian preservation techniques. Inside, you’ll find visual documentation, real mummies, and tools used during the process — all displayed in a compact, air-conditioned setup. It’s also a great way to escape the afternoon heat 🌤️ Note that guides aren’t allowed inside, but the exhibit labels and descriptions are clear enough to explore on your own. 💡 Insider Tip: Visit this museum right after exploring Luxor Temple — it’s close by and usually less crowded in the morning. Take your time to read the info boards for a quick, self-paced historical refresher before heading to the West Bank 🏺
We had a wonderful day with Samah as our guide. She was knowledgeable, engaging, and brought humor into her storytelling, which made the history of Egypt and Luxor come alive. Her passion for sharing the culture really shined through. Our stops included the Luxor Museum, the Mummification Museum, and lunch which was delicious. We even made a quick stop at a pharmacy when I wasn’t feeling well. Samah and the driver were both kind and accommodating throughout. The driver was excellent, providing cold water and smooth transportation. Altogether, it was a well-rounded and memorable experience.
This is a very small museum but different than being in the heat outside all day! It’s located right on the corniche very way to walk to if you are located right in the middle of the city. I must say it should be cheaper but if you want to see history sometimes we have no choice.
Well hidden from the main road, it's on the pier level. You won't even see the sign until you are at the Kornish Al Nile and Mabad Al Karnak fork. (See pictures). It is a small Museum, we went first thing Monday morning about 9:30am after they opened. We had the place to ourselves (apart from the workers and security guards). It's only one room as other reviews have said, but some informative plaques on the mummification process and some mummy samples. Tickets were £220egp each, so it's gone up considerably, but still cheap compared to Western museums. The crocodile mummy wasn't as big as the ones we saw at the crocodile museum at Kom Ombo but still fascinating. Be mindful you will need to go up the staircase and walk in an anticlockwise direction to get to the middle of the exhibit (probably for crowd control). Only go here once you've seen everything else at Luxor, as we did.
As you walk in to the museum on the left hand side is a pictorial view detailing the time line and process of mummyfication which is simplistic but very informative. On our visit there was only one other visitor. Access to the museum is down a number of steps. There is a seating area outside overlooking the river Nile.
Very good pre tour service, contact and confirmation. Our guide was fantasic very friendly and provided a lot of detail and understanding regarding the exhibits at both Museums. He ensured that we did not miss anything in the two Museums and that we saw all the important exhibits. The driver was also excellent and a very comfortable SUV vehicle.
Extremely polite, attentive, helpful driver, new, clean car, guide with in-depth knowledge of the tour topics, with excellent fluency in English.
It’s a small museum. One large room. You can get through it in 20-30 minutes. Highlights are a mummified crocodile, a cross section of a mummified skull and mummification tools. Recommend reading up online or in a guide book about mummification to get a better idea what you’re looking at. Worth a visit. Air conditioned. They take card.
