What we liked best about this hotel was that it is located in a family neighbor, just down the street from a mosque. We didn't feel like we were staying in a touristy area but in a regular Egyptian town with real people. Our room was very basic, but immaculately clean and spacious, attached to a bathroom with a nice... More

I have to preface this with why this place matters and is worth finding. What is commonly called "Hassle" in Egypt is not dangerous or particularly ruinous, but it certainly grates on you. and when you get to Luxor, you will find out just how far hassle really can go. Ever step every day was another encounter with yet another... More

I had to enter one specific month in the 'When did you stay here?' box but in fact I have been spending whole winters here for several years. The hotel is popular with archaeologists who also winter here during the digging season. It is impossible to speak too highly of the place. The rooms are large and comfortable. The food... More

While we did not stay here, we used its garden restaurant frequently for lunch and dinner during our week at the Sheherazade. There were always plenty of other customers, mainly from the missions working in the area, even though every other restaurant in Luxor was very quiet. They set their prices at a level below their neighbours in order to... More

I have just returned from this hotel, chosen with the aid of this site. I am very pleased with my decision and thoroughly enjoyed crossing the river on a daily basis. It's not ultra smart but for me that is part of it's appeal and 5 star accommodation where one can be cocooned and in any Country in the World... More

As described in the other reviews, this is an excellent place in Luxor. It is located a few minutes from the ferry, close to a few restaurants and small groceries store, next door to stables where you can find camels or horses to ride and a short taxi ride away from the Valley of the Kings and the other temples....

This is a great little family owned hotel on Luxor's west bank. The location is perfect to see the sites, have quiet a rural village atmosphere, and still be 5 minutes walk/motor-launch to downtown Luxor. The owner Ahmed is a gem and a great guy to share a bottle of "tea" with in the back garden. The food at this... More

I stayed here for three day from Oct. 2nd to Oct. 4th. This hotel is on the west bank and the price was right, about $20.00 usd a night. Only negative, no pool. Reception was great, the rooms were clean, had air conditioning but it never got very cold in the room. No t.v. but the food at the garden... More
