They made us feel safe, respected and allowed us to spend a wonderful time getting to know luxor through different activities in which they always accompanied and guided us. We will always be grateful to each of the members of the mnemon team for their details, warmth and kindness. Everthing was absolutly perfect!

This is a great, small hotel on the quieter west bank of the Nile. It is delightfully higgledy-piggledy, with a very pleasant pool area. What made this hotel particularly stand out for us, though, was Mohammed. He seemed to be generally in charge and organised everything for us, from meals to guides. Nothing was too much trouble. He didn't try to sell us anything (rare in Egypt), but simply arranged everything we asked him to with a calm, friendly smile. Thank you so much to him and to Helene, who was extremely helpful with emails before our arrival there.

On the banks of the Nile Hotel Al Baeirat is situated within a banana plantation. Like a little village it blends into the neighbourhood and is built of country-specific architecture with domed structure which is traditionally made of clay. Off the beaten track you can enjoy the silence and the egyptian style in a private and friendly atmosphere. For relaxation we are offering the whole family a wonderful swimming pool directly on the banks of the Nile. From our patio which is overlooking the Nile we are serving egyptian titbits. While sipping your coffee or drinking a cool beer you can let your eyes wander to the town of Luxor on the opposite shore and at night watch the bright lights of the incoming cruise liners. In the neighbourhood you will find numerous temple complexes, the Valley of the Kings and many more sights.
We had a great stay for 4 days at the hotel. It is on a human scale with staff always available and pleasant. The rooms are large and clean. We enjoyed the swimming pool and meals at the hotel restaurant. The only negative point is the price of the excursions but it is compensated by the price of the rooms and meals. We will definitely return to this hotel if we return to Luxor.

I booked a room at the nubian palace for a double room. The hotel is located in the heart of the Nubian village, and the hotel is very well decorated and pleasant, you are in perfect immersion in the village. The hosts are warm and welcoming, they are available and communicate if necessary by whatsapp. They organized for us our trip to Abu Simbel, which is very good if you do not want to have tourist prices or be asked for tips for each action. they speak very good english. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. I really enjoyed my journey and recommend.

We. called into the Luxor Palace for a drink. The drinks are very expensive, almost £20 for a small beer and a small wine. As a result one would expect great service. The drinks were placed on the table. We were provided with some nuts which had been overrated and tasted rather burnt. The staff could not wait to get rid of us it felt as the minute we put our glass down they removed it. This was not five star service but was five star pricing. We would have stayed longer and eaten lunch if the service had been better but it was very disappointing.

We had an amazing stay at the Thebes Hotel. The room was very spacious, clean, tidy with very comfortable beds and all facilities including a kitchenette with a fridge, air conditioning and fan. The rooftop pool is a good size and provides relief from the heat. The very large rooftop restaurant has a fantastic view to the valley of the kings and by night is an unforgettable experience. The food and service at the restaurant are very good, we enjoyed some typical Egyptian food although international dishes are also available on the menu. The front staff desk was amazing and helped with organizing transport and day trips. The hotel is located in a quiet lane away from the noise of the city. The busy Luxor east bank can be easily reached with a short ferry journey across the Nile. In the vicinity of the hotel, there are also small local shops that are worth visiting.
