Visitors can purchase tickets at the museum's admissions desk, or by calling 268-4109. Glenbow's recorded information line, 777-5506, provides more details about the times and dates of various events and programs. If you work up an appetite experiencing Egypt at the Glenbow, you can feed your hunger with Egyptian food at Calgary's Luxor Emporium and Caf in the city's northwest, a deli-style eatery offering traditional Egyptian vegetarian dishes like tabbouleh, hummus and falafel. For lighter fare, there are meat and vegetarian specialties wrapped in a pita. The caf also offers pizzas for Western palates, including the King Tut and Khafra's Tastiest.
Clients can choose from a selection of baklava pastries for dessert.
The caf doesn't serve alcohol, but you can sip mint tea or a serving of the strong, thick Arabic coffee. Located at 3919 Brentwood Road NW, right across Crowchild Trail from the Brentwood C-train stop. The State Information Service of Egypt has donated two trips for two to Egypt, including return airfare, a week's accommodation and meals, a tour guide and local transportation.
