Best hotels in Egypt

A cruise along the Nile between Luxor and Aswan is still the finest way to see Egypt's temples, with river boats mooring right beneath their walls. Before you sail, you'll want a few days in Cairo for the pyramids and the food, including koshari, the national dish of rice, lentils and pasta in a spiced tomato sauce. Le Méridien Cairo Airport is an easy choice for your first or last night before an early flight south to Luxor. Families and divers head to the Red Sea resorts of Hurghada or Sharm El Sheikh, where coral reefs lie a short swim from shore. We have 125 properties across Egypt, with prices ranging from USD 140 to USD 1,100 per person per night. For real seclusion, honeymooners should look at Siwa Oasis, deep in the Sahara near the Libyan border, where Adrere Amellal Ecolodge is built from salt rock and lit only by candlelight.
