About

Antigua residencia de Howard Carter, el arqueólogo que descubrió la tumba de Tutankhamun, que ahora funciona como museo y centro de visitantes del Valle de los Reyes. Exhibe artefactos e información sobre los descubrimientos de Carter y el proceso de excavación.

Carter House sits in the Valley of the Kings on the west bank of Luxor, Egypt. It was the former residence of Howard Carter, the archaeologist who discovered the tomb of Tutankhamun. Today the house serves as a museum and visitor center for the valley, so it works well as a first stop before you explore the royal tombs nearby.

What you will see

The museum displays artifacts and tells the story of Carter's discoveries and of the excavation process. Rather than presenting the valley only as a set of tombs, it helps you understand the patient, painstaking work that went into finding and recording them.

Planning your visit

  • Location: Valley of the Kings, Luxor, Egypt

  • Best paired with: a visit to the royal tombs in the valley

Because Carter House is tied so closely to the valley, it suits visitors who want context for what they are about to see. Luxor itself offers much more to explore on the same side of the Nile, so you can easily build a longer day around the site.
