🕐 Best time to visit
Midday during the hottest hours when temples are punishing.
The Luxor Museum on the East Bank Corniche is a small but well-curated alternative to the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. Highlights include statuary from Karnak's Cachette, Tutankhamun's chariots and bows, and the mummies of Ahmose I and Ramesses I. Air-conditioned, English signage, and quiet during the heat of midday.
Getting there from the port
Same Luxor coach day; the museum is on the East Bank Corniche between Karnak and Luxor Temple.
