Luxor Museum
متحف الأقصر
A boutique museum on the Nile riverside with a modest but excellent collection, including parts of Tutankhamun's chariot and statues from the Luxor Temple cachette.
The museum sits on the riverside road on the East Bank and displays statues, reliefs and burial goods excavated from Theban sites. Highlights include objects from Tutankhamun's tomb, statues from the reigns of Amenhotep III and Akhenaten, and the hall of cached statues discovered in Luxor Temple in 1989. The New Kingdom gallery displays two royal mummies, believed to include Ramesses I. Admission is about 300 Egyptian pounds. The lighting and displays are excellent, making it ideal for an evening visit.
