Imhotep Museum, Giza Governorate, Egypt

4.5 (73 reviews) Friday: 7:00 AM - 7:00 PM Spent Ranking #8 in Saqqara Speciality Museums

Well spent time

I’ve visited the museum by car, ticket fee was 5 le for the car and 5 le for the museum for Egyptians. The museum is well kept. There are around 280 pieces of ancient statues. Of course there is a statue of Imhotep. No videos were allowed inside the museum, just photos. Great to pass by the museum if you are visiting Saqqara.

    Small well laid out museum of Imhotep and Saqqara
    Although a small museum, it however does provide a small diversion from the large intimidating necropolis of Saqqara. Dedicated to the scribe Inhotep who was later deified by later ancient Egyptians. It is believed that Inhotep mastered the use of stone as a building medium. All the artifacts are well labeled and provide a glimpse into the funerary rituals of the ancients. No photography by camera is allowed however, you can use a mobile phone without a flash.

    Brilliant little Museum
    This museum is at the Saqqara site and is only about 5 rooms but has some exquisite exhibits. The tiled facade from Djoser's pyramid, several scribe statues of Imhotep and his medical instruments. Tools used in building the pyramids and sarcophagi. There is also a short video narrated by Omar Shariff that goes into Saqqara that is worth watching as well. Finally, it has the cleanest bathrooms in the site.
