- Luxor Museum - Your tour guide will pick you up from your hotel to begin your visit to the fabulous Luxor Museum. This museum houses a remarkable collection of artifacts, most of which were discovered in the area of ancient Thebes, modern-day Luxor. The highlights of this collection include masterpieces of pharaonic art and examples of everyday objects used by ancient Egyptians.
One of the museum’s significant features is several galleries dedicated to a spectacular group of statues found in 1989, hidden beneath the floor of the Luxor Temple. Additionally, there is a newly built annex that focuses on Egypt’s Golden Age during the New Kingdom (circa 1550-1070 BC). This annex includes two royal mummies and offers a short film on ancient papyrus and vase-making techniques. The labels in the museum are provided in both Arabic and English to enhance your understanding of the exhibits.
- Luxor Sound and Light Show - After your enriching museum visit, you will proceed to the fantastic Sound and Light Show. This show features the beautiful Karnak Temples illuminated in all their glory. As you listen to the narrated history, you will be transported back in time, gaining insights into what life was like thousands of years ago. The spectacle lasts about 75 minutes and begins with a tour around the temple grounds. The final act is performed while you are seated along the Great Sacred Lake. The performance effectively relates the history of Luxor as the capital of the ancient world.
After enjoying both the museum and the Sound and Light Show, you will be transferred back to your hotel, concluding your day’s excursion.
