Started off with short 7-minute presentation about the exhibits in this museum. No Queue to buy tickets as this is considered low peak season. There’s even a discount! Good place to start with if you have not gone to the Valleys of Kings and Queens. Close up look of the artefacts that had been excavated. And, prices of the alabaster products in the shop at the entrance of museum is way more reasonable than those shops found opposite the Valleys of Kings and Queens.

The Luxor Museum is a must-visit. The line is short, making entry quick and easy. Although the museum is small, it’s beautifully curated with a rich collection of artifacts that provide fascinating insights into ancient history. It's an engaging experience for history enthusiasts and offers a compact yet enriching glimpse into the past. No need to purchase tickets in advance. Highly recommended!

The Luxor Museum, situated along the Nile River in Luxor, Egypt, is renowned for its exquisite collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts. Opened in 1975, the museum offers a carefully curated selection of treasures, including statues, jewelry, pottery, and artifacts from tombs and temples of the Theban region. Highlights include the striking statues of pharaohs and gods discovered in Luxor Temple and items from the tomb of Tutankhamun. The museum's modern design and well-lit displays provide an intimate and engaging experience for visitors, making it a must-visit for history enthusiasts.

Fantastic experience. At the heart of the museum are two mummies with some of their treasures. Flow of the museum is great and you are lead around without wondering around aimlessly. All pieces are well maintained and there is fair amount to see including information on each piece. We did the museum after visiting Karnak Temple in the afternoon, the air-conditioning was a blessing in the heat of the summertime.

Interesting! This museum is not the largest. Probably 30-60 minutes is fine based on what your interest level is. As you first go in there is a ‘presentation’, I had read that it was interesting but it turns out this may have changed. Instead we walked into some kind of workshop for young people! So skip that! The main museum consists of several artifacts from the Ancient Egyptian era - some have signage explaining what they are and their history. Some do not, which is a shame. The highlight for me was the two mummies within. You can get gruesomely up close and see these 3000 year old mummies - fascinating! It is worth noting that many of the exhibits have braille for increased accessibility. I probably wouldn’t bring kids unless they are really into it. They’ll like the mummies and a few of the caskets, but it’s not interactive or child friendly really.
