Al Moudira sits on the West Bank of the Nile in Luxor, near ancient Thebes and the Valley of the Kings, set in ten hectares of palm groves and gardens as a honeycomb of courtyards with a grand country-house feel, built with materials rescued from historic buildings and created by Zeina Aboukheir. It has 54 suites grouped around private courtyards with fountains, from Deluxe and Junior to Signature, Luxury, Fountain and Family suites and villas, all spacious with high domed ceilings, hand-painted frescoes, antique furnishings and Egyptian-cotton linen.
Dining is praised for its elegant cuisine, with wellness facilities and an activities and events programme. A distinctive artisanal design of antiques and frescoes, described as an oasis of tranquillity, it is locally run and a member of Relais & Chateaux and the Moudira Collection. It suits culture-focused, design-loving travellers who want an intimate, atmospheric boutique retreat near the Valley of the Kings.
