A fascinating, overwhelming, incredible place — don’t expect sparse, carefully labeled and curated collections. It’s huge, dusty, disorganized, and full of treasures.

When people think Egypt, they think Mummies, and the small museum on the corniche in Luxor has an extensive collection of mummies of various sorts and the history of this odd practice.

This excellent museum is well-organized, small enough to wander through, and has some absolutely stunning examples of sculpture and bas-relief from nearby temples. Well worth a visit!
