Luxor Museum Egypt

Situated along the renovated part of the Corniche in Luxor, is the small yet fascinating Museum of Antiquities easy located and within walking distance from central Luxor and Karnak. Whilst compared to the Museum in Cairo it is a lot smaller, however it hosts some wonderful Pharaonic pieces not seen anywhere else.

A one hour flight from Cairo, 3 hours by road from the Red Sea resort of Hurghada, and 3 hours by road from Aswan, Luxor is easily accessible by many transport links including trains between Cairo and Aswan.
 

What to see:

 
This Museum of antiquities is an absolute gem. The selection of statues and objects found in local tombs and Temples all stored here are perfectly displayed against a dark background to bring out the best features. Among the many highlights are a strikingly beautiful statue of an eternally young King Tuthmosis III, an extraordinary statue of Amenhotep III held by the crocodile God Sobek, and furniture from Tutankhamun’s Tomb. The important cache of statues, among them Ramses II and Tutankhamun, found a few years ago under Luxor Temple, are also on display here in the hall to the left of the entrance.An interesting new wing is dedicated to the glory of Thebes during the New Kingdom period.
