Al Moudira Hotel

Facilities

• Dining: Breakfast is included, and the restaurants serve lunch and dinner daily. The hotel bar opens mid-morning and stays open all day.
• Communal areas: The buildings are home to several enclosed courtyards. Fountains and sofas are regularly encountered, while jasmine and bougainvillea add the requisite colour.
• Internet Access: The conference room (80 sq.m.) doubles as an art gallery, and has a computer which guests can use. It can host up to 50 people. Free WiFi is available around the main courtyard.
• Swimming Pool: Large swimming pool with sun loungers scattered about - it's heated in winter. There’s a restaurant and bar down here, too. A great place to recover from early starts on the sightseeing trail. The only problem is the flies which can be a nuisance on still days.

When to go?

The hotel is open all year, but summer – June through August – can get very hot, with temperatures soaring into the 40s. However, this is also low season, when prices drop temptingly.

You’re better off avoiding Ramadan, when some businesses will close for the whole month. And if you are travelling over holidays – Eid al-Adha, Ras an-Sana - expect the rest of Egypt to be competing for your seat. The dates for these holidays change every year, so check before planning your trip.

Author's tips

Your ticket into Valley of the Kings only lets you see 3 tombs. So if you are only going once (lots of people go twice), read up on the tombs and decide in advance which you want to see (some may not be open the day you visit); or buy 2 tickets.
