Well organised trip for myself and my 11-year-old child

Rachel_W, Apr 2026

We had such a lovely experience on this last minute trip! Everything was well organised from start to finish the driver arrived right on time and made the journey to the museum. His car was clean and fresh no smell off smoke and not dusty and no loud music! When we arrived, we met our guide Omran, who was fantastic. As I was visiting with my son, I asked if he could keep things simple and focus on the most important parts, and he did exactly that. His English was clear, and he was very kind, relaxed, and easy to follow. We also appreciated having some free time to explore the shops and enjoy the café, which made the visit feel nice and unhurried. It turned into a really enjoyable afternoon for both of us. Highly recommended!

Private tour with Medhat was amazing. He’s knows his history. He explained every statue in the museum. They provided pickup and drop from the hotel. I highly recommend

It was a good day we started at about 9 and finished the tour by about 1. Our guide was very informative and helpful. We discussed so many different dlthings about the artifacts that are on display in the luxor museum. I would recommend it to everyone

Go on your own

The Luxor Museum is a fantastic museum. It is well laid out, very clean and modern and has descriptions of everything in English. GO TO THIS MUSEUM, just not on a tour. The tour guide is not allowed to go in with you anyway. The Mummification Museum was a waist of time. It was one room with a bunch of stuff that looked like leftovers from other museums. No cool displays of the mummification process, just a bunch of glass cases with old rags and natron (mummification salts) in them.

Zwei schöne Museen, das Mumifizierungsmusem ist recht klein, da könnte man bestimmt mehr draus machen. Unschön war die Verschleppung zum Papyrus, Gewürze und Duft Shop, das nervt etwas.
