Sobre Luxor Museum

The Luxor Museum charges foreign adults EGP 400 as of 2026 and holds a smaller, tightly curated collection than Cairo's national museums. The two-storey building on the Corniche opened in 1975 and displays statues, reliefs and grave goods from the Theban area, including a 2.49-metre quartzite statue of Amenhotep III. Its labelling and lighting are clearer than in most Egyptian museums, and the collection can be seen in about 90 minutes. The displays concentrate on the New Kingdom, when Thebes was the capital, and on pieces found within a few kilometres of the building. The Luxor Museum is a good use of the hot midday or evening hours after the temples.

Mejor momento del día: 17:00 - 19:00. In the evening session, when the air-conditioned galleries are quiet after the heat of the day.

Historia de Luxor Museum

The Luxor Museum opened in 1975 in a two-storey building planned in 1962 by the Egyptian architect Mahmud El Hakim. The design favours quality over quantity, with a modest number of pieces displayed with wide spacing and modern lighting.

The Luxor Museum holds a quartzite statue of Amenhotep III, a calcite double statue of the crocodile god Sobek with Amenhotep III, and a reconstruction of a wall from Akhenaten's Karnak temple assembled from small carved blocks called talatat. Grave goods from Tutankhamun's tomb (KV62) are displayed here. Twenty-six New Kingdom statues found in 1989 in the sun court of Luxor Temple, a hoard buried and preserved for centuries, are in a separate hall. The royal mummies of Ahmose I and Ramesses I have been on display here since March 2004,.

Normas y etiqueta en Luxor Museum

Luxor Museum visitors may be asked to leave large bags at the entrance, and flash photography is not allowed in the galleries. Photography rules have varied, and some rooms, particularly the mummy room, restrict cameras, so ask at the desk before you shoot. Drones and tripods are not allowed.

Luxor Museum has no formal dress code, but shoulders and knees covered is the sensible norm in Egypt. Switch phones to silent, and keep voices low in the mummy room, where the two royal mummies are displayed as human remains. Touching statues and cases is not allowed. Guards may point out details or offer to guide you and then expect EGP 20-50; a polite refusal is normal. Payment at the ticket desk is normally by card.

Consejos para visitar Luxor Museum

1
Luxor Museum is best visited after a morning on the west bank, at the 17:00 evening session, when the galleries are quiet and the Corniche is cooler. The split-day schedule means the museum is shut for a few hours in the middle of the day, so check the current hours before you plan the trip.
2
Luxor Museum pairs well with the Mummification Museum and Luxor Temple, both close by on the Corniche, so a compact east-bank afternoon is possible. The audio guide, EGP 50 for foreigners, adds context to the galleries. The Luxor Temple cache hall is the highlight for anyone who has just seen the temple, since it shows the standing statuary in close detail. Cafes along the Corniche charge tourist prices, so eat a block inland.
