The Mummification Museum is an archaeological museum in Luxor, Upper Egypt. It is dedicated to the art of Ancient Egyptian mummification.
This museum is an essential part one must see, as it provides crucial understanding, in a simple way of the Mummification process. This is essential as many of the other museums in Egypt focus on ancient Egypt, largely on the mummification process.

Luxor, Egypt - World's Greatest Open Air Museum by the Nile
Luxor, Egypt - The city on the east bank of the Nile River that is rich with lots of historical tombs, museums, monuments, and temples that made it the world's greatest open air museum. Luxor is the place where the kings and queens of old Egypt were crowned.
Luxor, Egypt, is the city that tourists visit for two different reasons: first of all it is filled with lots of historical museums and temples which people get astonished by. Second, being placed by the Nile River give this city a different look and atmosphere, one that make people happy with the view which they might as well receive from their hotel rooms.
There are several things we have seen in this city, the one that is really considered an open air museum because every single direction one tends to look in, there is something to be spotted. The ruins of the temple complexes at Karnak and Luxor stand in the middle of the modern city, which was the site of the ancient Egyptian city of Thebes.
On the opposite side across the Nile River, there are the monuments, temples, and tombs of the west bank Necropolis, which include the Valley of the Kings and the Valley of the Queens. The Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut is one of the most famous landmarks of Luxor that tourists from all over the world come to see.
The west bank of Luxor has always been the main area for cemeteries and mortuary temples, and this is a role that has not been changed till these days. Luxor Temple is one of the sites that is also considered different since this ancient Egyptian complex is a place where people get to walk in between those long pillars and just think about how the Pharaohs managed to build them; this place is where many of the kings of Egypt where crowned.
Among the different sites which one will have to visit in Luxor, Egypt, Karnak Temple is on the list and it is considered a vast open air museum and the second ancient religious in the world, making Luxor a place that stands on top due to the different ancient historical treasures that it carries.
Generally speaking, there are several things one should see in Luxor and which are divided between the west bank and the east bank. In the West Bank, there is the Valley of the Kings, Valley of the Queens, Madinet Habu (memorial temple of Ramses III), the Ramseseum (memorial temple of Ramses II), Tombs of the Nobles, Deir Al-Bahri which is the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, Malkata (palace of Amenophis III) as well as Colossi of Memnon (memorial temple of Amenophis III).
On the other side, those attractions found on the east bank include Luxor Temple, Karnak Temple, Luxor Museum, and the Mummification Museum.
For those who plan to travel to Luxor, Egypt, they always include Aswan in this plan because they are next to one another and they could even book a room in a Nile Cruise that will take them through Luxor and Aswan and show them the historical landmarks during the trip by stopping at these spots and letting the tourists come down and enjoy the place - they could even book the whole thing with a tour guide.
Getting the chance to see the different monuments, temples, and museums is the number one reason behind heading to Luxor, Egypt, but some people plan to make this trip extraordinary with doing any of the activities which they might not get the chance to do anywhere else, such as riding the air balloon or else riding a horse carriage. In Aswan, make sure to go and enjoy the Nubian life if you have the time to, because the colors of the place will make you feel like you want to stay there forever.
Egypt is one of the countries that is stuffed with lots of historical places for the tourists to visit and come across but most of those who choose Egypt as their destination tend to start with Cairo, so if your trip is going to start there, you have to know that a train to Luxor will take about 12 hours and is considered very tiring, so you could better book a plane ticket. In addition to that, the weather in Egypt is usually hot in summer but when it comes to Luxor and Aswan, this hotness is doubled, so it is better to come in winter or the first days of spring.
This was our experience in Luxor, Egypt, so tell us how was yours if you have been there? Since we want our trips to Egypt to be different, we think that checking Al Fayoum ( or heading to Alexandria ( should be our next plans, or we could even surf the internet and search for the other cities or places in Egypt which are known with famous landmarks or activities which we might be able to visit.
At Connolly Cove channel, you will be able to receive several recommendations and suggestions for the places to visit in the countries you are planning to travel to. We are mainly focused on Ireland and Northern Ireland but lately we decided to expand to other countries that we even managed to reach Egypt eventually and see it differently, and here we are in Luxor this time.

Luxor Museum
Luxor Museum is located in the Egyptian city of Luxor (ancient Thebes). It stands on the corniche, overlooking the west bank of the River Nile, in the central part of the city.
متحف الأقصر يقع على كورنيش النيل في وسط مدينة الأقصر جنوب مصر والتي كانت تعرف في الماضي باسم طيبة.
افتتح في العام 1975 م. لكن موجوداته لم تكن لتقارن بأي حال من الأحوال بمعروضات متحف القاهرة للآثار الذي يحوي أروع نفائس الحضارة المصرية القدية داخل مصر.
من بين أروع معروضات المتحف حالياً مجموعة من التحف والتي كانت ضمن مقبرة الملك توت عنخ آمون، أيضا تماثيل تمثل عصر المملكة الحديثة عثر عليها مخبأة قرب معبد الأقصر العام 1989 م. كذلك تجد المومياوات الملكية للفرعونين أحمس الأول ورمسيس الأول حيث أضيفت لمقتنيات المتحف في مارس 2004 م. كجزء من التجديدات في المتحف والتي تضمنت مركزا للزوار وأضيف فيها ومعرضا كبيراً لإعادة ترميم حوائط معبد أخناتون في الكرنك.
Inaugurated in 1975, the museum is housed in a small, purpose-built building. The range of artifacts on display is far more restricted than the country's main collections in the Museum of Antiquities in Cairo; this was, however, deliberate, since the museum prides itself on the quality of the pieces it has, the uncluttered way in which they are displayed, and the clear multilingual labeling used.
Among the most striking items on show are grave goods from the tomb of Tutankhamun (KV62) and a collection of 26 exceptionally well preserved New Kingdom statues that were found buried in a cache in nearby Luxor Temple in 1989. The royal mummies of two pharaohs - Ahmose I and Ramesses I - were also put on display in the Luxor Museum in March 2004, as part of the new extension to the museum, which includes a small visitor centre. A major exhibit is a reconstruction of one of the walls of Akhenaten's temple at Karnak. One of the featured items in the collection is a calcite double statue of the crocodile god Sobek and the 18th Dynasty pharaoh Amenhotep III.

Egypt - Mummies
(2 Mar 1994) Egypt reopened a display of 3,500 year-old royal mummies on
Tuesday (1/3) hoping the remains of its pharaonic ancestors would
help attract tourists scared away by Moslem militant attacks. The
display of 11 mummies, put under wraps by the late president Anwar
Sadat in 1980, was unveiled by Prime Minister Atef Sedki. It
includes ancient leaders like Ramses II, the military pharaoh who
ruled Egypt for 67 years until his death in 1224 BC, as well as
three of the pharaohs' queens. Another 16 mummies are being
prepared for public display some time next year. The mummies,
discovered in southern Egypt in the late 19th century, are kept in
glass cases in a single, dimly-lit room. They lie on their backs,
gnarled and wrinkled hands crossed over their chests, partly
covered in linen or sack-cloth. The dark skin on their faces is
drawn taught over sharp aquiline features. Most appear peaceful,
with closed eyelids and tight expressionless smiles.
Mummification, a ritual burial practice for the wealthy, began
with ancient Egyptians who believed in the after-life. Few of the
mummies were discovered in their original tombs, which were
desecrated thousands of years ago and stripped of their lavish
contents by tomb robbers. Most were transferred at least 2,500
years ago by priests to large communal graves. The largest one,
containing the mummies of 40 Pharaohs, queens and nobles, was
uncovered in 1876 near the Valley of the Kings where the
undisturbed tomb of King Tutankhamun was later discovered. The
mummies were ordered locked away in 1980 by Sadat, who said it was
morally improper to display the remains of Pharaohs whose dignity
should be preserved. But Abdelhalim Noureddin, chairman of the
Egyptian Antiquities Organisation said last month the display
should entice badly-needed visitors. Moslem militant attacks
against foreign tourists began in 1992. They have been a serious
blow to the tourist industry, which once brought in about $3
billion a year. Officials say the violence cost the country about
$900 million last year.
