Kornish Al Nile, Luxor City, Luxor, Luxor Governorate, Egypt
Luxor Museum opened in 1975 on the East Bank corniche and quickly earned a reputation as the most thoughtfully designed museum in Egypt. The two floors display fewer than 400 objects, but each one is a star: the granite head of Senusret III, a 26-statue cache from the Luxor Temple courtyard discovered in 1989, the Akhenaten talatat blocks reassembled into murals, and the chariot of Tutankhamun. The mummies of Ahmose I and Ramses I rest in a darkened lower hall. The clean lighting and unrushed pace make it a strong afternoon stop in summer. Tickets cost 500 EGP; opening hours run 9 AM to 2 PM and 5 PM to 9 PM, allowing a heat-break break in the middle of the day.
Pro Tip: Audio guides at the desk cost 80 EGP and run about 90 minutes - well-paced narration in English, French, Arabic, German or Spanish.
