Absolutely gorgeous museum of art with wonderful objects displayed stunningly. Not a hint of intrusion or hassle from the attendants. There is also a really good bookshop selling proper history and art books at reasonable prices, and clean loos!

This was not on our original itinerary but we will remain eternally grateful to our guide who suggested we fit in before embarking on our Nile Cruise. This museum is an absolute gem, obviously not as big as its counterpart in Cairo but containing some high quality exhibits. So many of the sculptures are marvellously preserved, are carved to very...

Lots of amazing artifacts to look at Items taken from the Tomb of Tutankhamun, and the bed he was mummified on. Quite reasonable priced to go in. There is a gift shop on the way out be careful though as we were completely overcharged for what we brought.

Those who have visited the Egyptian Museum in Cairo and found it cluttered (which it is); will love this museum. Obviously fewer exhibits but the presentation and explanations and general ambience of the place is wonderful.

We were here in mid March. It was completely deserted, which was great for us, but a real sadness for all the people working in the tourism sector. Things are very well displayed, you can really take in each, individual piece and leave feeling as if you've seen something. I took my son to The British Museum the week before... More

Because there was much that I would have liked to photograph. Not a huge museum, but high quality exhibits with everything well explained.

This museum is well laid out and most of the exhibits are clearly labelled with some detail. I enjoyed my visit but it is comparatively a bit expensive to go round - it's really quite small.

Luxor museum is not massive but it is extremely well displayed and the lighting is excellent. Some of the exhibits are also not cordoned off so you can walk round them and even touch the stone work. There are also 2 mummy's in the museum which are presented in very sombre & respectful rooms. & even though many of Tutankhamuns's... More
