The Luxor Museum of Ancient Egyptian Art is a must-see. The museum was opened in 1975 and houses the highest quality collection of artworks from the pre-dynastic period to the Islamic era. The modern building is extremely spacious, with plenty of room to move around and view the beautifully displayed objects and sculptures in a quiet, dimly lit environment.
