Al Moudira Hotel

Luxor, Egypt

Eating

You eat breakfast in the main courtyard. Everything is brought to your table: fabulous pancakes, plates of fresh fruit, freshly squeezed orange juice, baskets of home-baked patisseries (croissants, pains au chocolat). There are eggs if you want them, too.

Lunch can be eaten here or down on the pool terrace, a lovely spot to scoff a plate of spaghetti. You can have anything from simple dishes like croque-monsieur or smoked salmon to a 3-course feast, perhaps fresh tomato salads, filet de boeuf, date tart. There are hamburgers, pizzas, bowls of pasta, calamari served with tartare sauce.

Dinner is eaten in the courtyard. You stop for drinks in the sitting-room bar, where a little jazz plays sweetly, then order from an à la carte menu, perhaps onion tart, leg of lamb, crème caramel. Although we'd read reports of mediocre cuisine, our experience was very positive - some of the best food we tasted in Egypt, in fact - so give it a try.

Save to favouritesPrintMailAl Moudira HotelAs you stroll around the lush courtyards, knock back your cocktails in the sitting-room bar, soak up the sun on the terrace by the pool or retreat to your splendidly enormous room, do remember that this small empire of beautiful things was completely reclaimed from the desert. Al Moudira is not simply the best hotel in Luxor, it’s one of the best in Egypt; an architectural pleasure dome of vaulted ceilings, Pharaonic murals, wooden latticework and regal arches. It appears to be ancient, but it’s not yet ten years old. Ten years ago, it was nothing but sand. Wander about and it’s easy to imagine you’re strolling through a small palace. You enter through an interior courtyard, the hub of the hotel. Pillars soar, bougainvillea roams and you can eat here throughout the day, though the domed restaurant is equally serene. As for the 40 [r:EG009:rooms] - well, the smallest is huge, so take it from there. Expect high domed ceilings (occasionally in your bathroom, too), crisp white linen, beautiful tiles on every floor, warm colours spread across each wall. It is a remarkably peaceful place, too. One not to miss.
