KMT410 Luxor & Mummification Museum

Historical Highlights

Luxor Museum, has a well-chosen and brilliantly displayed and explained collection of antiquities dating from the end of the Old Kingdom right through to the Mamluk period, mostly gathered from the Theban temples and necropolis. This is one of the most rewarding sights in Luxor and one of the best museums in Egypt.

Mummification Museum in Luxor (ancient Thebes), intended to provide an understanding of the process to preserve the body. The ancient Egyptians not only applied embalming to dead humans but also to many animals (Cats, dogs, crocodiles…. etc.). God Anubis(the Jackal) was the god of embalming and mummification.
The Mummification Museum provides a comprehensive view of the entire process through the display of many tools, objects and equipment used for the process, as well as an explanation of the ritual and religious significance of the practice. Canopic jars, elaborately decorated coffins, mummified remains, amulets and statues of deities are among the many objects on display.
