Luxor Museum: ticket, opening hours, duration and what you see in 2026
The Luxor Museum, on the Nile corniche, is a small, well-presented museum gathering pieces found at Thebes: royal statues, Tutankhamun objects and rooms on the war against the Hyksos. Visit it in 1 to 1.5 hours, often in the evening when it reopens. Ticket: from 200 EGP (2026 guide) to 400 EGP (2025 table), no official price confirmed. Hours found in a 2025 table: 9:00 am to 12:00 pm and 5:00 to 7:00 pm in summer, 9:00 am to 1:00 pm and 5:00 to 8:00 pm in winter, with reduced hours in Ramadan. The guided visit, ticket included, starts around 12 US dollars (offer to check).

Tips
- As the hours split the day, visit the museum in the late afternoon, after the West Bank temples. The simplest offer is the guided Luxor Museum visit with tickets (English, German, Italian, French depending on the offer). One guide recommends an hour and a half for the Tutankhamun rooms and the royal mummies room. A private guide who links it with the Mummification Museum costs about 52 to 58 US dollars (4 hours, lunch included, offer to check).
How to get there
On the Nile corniche, north of the Luxor temple; on foot from the temple (about 10 to 15 minutes) or by carriage or taxi. From Hurghada, see Hurghada to Luxor.
