Description
Journey back to 1922 and relive the moment when Howard Carter uncovered the tomb of Tutankhamun, one of the most significant archaeological discoveries in history. With your entry ticket to the Discovering King Tut’s Tomb exhibition in Luxor, you’ll experience the excitement and wonder of this legendary find through immersive displays, audio storytelling, and cutting-edge virtual reality.
Begin your visit by tracing Carter’s footsteps, peering through the recreated wall of the antechamber just as he did over a century ago. Unlock the secrets of the burial room and come face-to-face with a striking recreation of the boy king’s mummy. Marvel at the artistry of the nested coffins and gaze upon a replica of Tutankhamun’s iconic gold death mask, learning about the craftsmanship and symbolism behind each piece.
As you move through the exhibition, discover why the ancient Egyptians practiced mummification and how their beliefs shaped the treasures buried with their pharaohs. The audio guide, featuring Carter’s own words, transports you to the heart of the discovery, while interactive virtual reality lets you explore the tomb’s chambers as they were left over 3,000 years ago. The exhibition concludes in a central gallery, where you can reflect on the enduring legacy of Tutankhamun and the mysteries of ancient Egypt before continuing your exploration of Luxor.
