If you want to see how they mummify bodies - this is the place. Very interesting and a place to escape the hot sun.

I beg to differ with some of the previous reviews. I guess everything is relative, depending on one's expectations. I agree it was small and relatively expensive, but when you are with a nine year old, it was perfect. Being in Egypt for couple of weeks already, and quoting my daughter "templed out", where every site started with a big... More

Mummification Museum in Luxor is just beside Luxor temple, at the riverside; go down the stairs to find it. This is a very small museum, but a very special collection, showing and explaining everything about mummification. The exhibition hall is very professionally made, we can see items, like 2 human mummies, in very good condition, with their coffins/sacrophages. We can... More

Way too expensive for content. The ticket price is comparable to the great pyramids, the Cairo museum, and various other thoroughly impressive sights in Egypt, and it's got one small room containing one human mummy and three or four animals, takes ten minutes tops to walk through if you read everything. There are less mummies in the mummification museum than... More

Accessed from the corniche, and located near the ferry terminal, this museum has some excellent examples of mummified animals. Exhibits also include many of the tools used in the mummification process and several well-preserved sarcophagi. I would recommend this museum (and have to family and friends). At present the museum is open from 10am to 2pm.

When we first visited Luxor 12 years ago this was a nice little museum. Unfortunatly in the past 12 years nothing has changed. The disolay has remained as it was. There is only one mummie and a few mummies of animals plus some other small pieces to do with the mumification process.Now that the new Luxor museum has opened across... More

Went to this museum and have to say it was just awesome. I was annoyed at the no photograph rule but having said that the 3400 year old mummie was just amazing. It left an impression on me when i left and my daughters still are talking about it. A bit overpriced but then you are seeing something once in... More
