Mummification Museum

Housed in the old visitors' center of the Corniche in front of the Mina Palace Hotel, the Museum of mummification exposes everything about the mummies and mummification. One can see the well-preserved mummy of the high priest of Amon of Dynasty XXI, Maserharti, as well as large numbers of animals mummified. It also provides the tools and materials used in the process, for example, a spoon and a metal spatula that were used to extract the brain, as well as various objects essential for the journey of the mummy to the otherworld and some painted coffins. At the entrance, there is a small statue of the jackal Anubis, god of embalming that helped Isis to mummify the body of her brother and husband Osiris.
