Best hotels in Luxor

With a mix of fine Moorish arches and intricate carvings, Al Moudira looks like it has been standing in the desert for hundreds of years. Astonishingly, it was built just over a decade ago, creatively conceptualised by the owners who drew design inspiration out of their travels from Lebanon to Tuscany. Occupying a secluded spot on Luxor's west bank, the great tombs of the Valley of the Kings beckon from across the sands and the ancient desert begs to be explored on camelback. Every space at Al Moudira has a bygone feel, from the courtyards filled with vast urns of feathery florals, to the Turkish baths waiting for you after a day of exploring.

Where the pharaohs of old built some of Egypt's most astonishing, impressive and long-standing monuments, Luxor is a city with abundant history. Sitting on the East Bank of the Nile - with excellent views of the Valley of the Kings - the Hilton puts you in the thick of it all. This is a hotel with poise and style, sumptuous interiors that will make you gasp, and a smorgasbord of eateries, including private dinners at the river's edge. Typical days include languid felucca rides past the Tombs of the Nobles, discovering King Tutankhamun's resting place, or perhaps even soaring overhead in a hot air balloon.

Its spacious cabins are thoughtfully designed with modern amenities, panoramic windows, and well-appointed en-suite bathrooms.
