you have to come in with appropriate expectations. This is Egypt and it's Luxor. The pictures make this look very beautiful, and a lot of the resort is picturesque, but what you don't see is you get dropped off on a street and walk through a metal detector, there are A LOT of mosquitoes, and the rooms are tired. I mean, I walked in and could see from across the room that the mattress was shot, with huge depressions where people had been sleeping over the years, and my back hurt all week. The air conditioners worked but were super loud. The rooms are huge but pretty dilapidated, with weird bathrooms. The pool was really nice and the staff were very nice. Our guide warned us that many of his clients staying here had gotten 'food poisoning', and I did indeed get travelers diarrhea here. I cannot be sure where I got it but we only ate at the hotel and Im a doctor who is very germaphobic and Im an experienced traveler, I never touch tap water even for the toothbrush. I was the only one of my family who ate salad twice, so that is a possible source. I should know better than ordering a salad, but I thought it would be safe in the hotel. Totally my fault, but would ask the hotel to make sure they are not washing vegetables in tap water. The doctor on site was super nice and helpful and gave me cipro/flagyl which took care of it in a couple of days. We ended our stay early. I will not be coming back. Its probably nice by Luxor standards, just set your expectations appropriately.

Best breakfast ever!

I rarely leave negative reviews, and in fact I have only left one negative review previously, but due to the sanitary concerns involved, I feel obligated to mention this experience. During my stay at Al Moudira Hotel, food trays and partially consumed drinks from a neighboring room were left directly outside my door and beneath my window on multiple occasions in approximately 108°F heat. On the day of my checkout, the items had remained there overnight for roughly 16 hours, attracting flies and creating an unsanitary environment immediately outside the room. That was the point at which I finally reported the issue. I then waited approximately 40 minutes to speak with a manager, but the response felt dismissive and lacking urgency. What disappointed me most was not a single forgotten tray, but the apparent lack of attention given to a basic sanitation concern at a property that presents itself as a luxury experience. The hotel itself is visually beautiful and unique, but the handling of this situation fell far below expectations. PS On a previous occasion, before I thought to document it with a photo, an entire meal for two had also been left there for an extended period of time in 108°F heat.

This is an amazing oasis in a quiet area of the West Bank conveniently located near the Valley of Kings and Hapshepsut’s Temple. If you tire of the hustle and bustle and continuous hassle on the streets of Luxor, this is the right place for you. It may be pricey but there is no end to the luxury of this hotel. The pool and spa are wonderful. The gardens are beautiful. The setting is serene. The rooms echo the Ottoman and Omani influences seen in Dar es Salaam. And the food ( particularly the Ottoman Restaurant) is superb. Don’t miss the lamb shank there. It is amazing! The staff are kind and attentive. My travel companion had his birthday there, and without any prompting, the front desk noticed his birthdate on his passport and surprised him with a gourmet birthday cake at breakfast. That type of attention is unusual even at other 5 star hotels. We greatly enjoyed our stay in this wonderful hotel.

Incredible spa ! The yoga teacher is fantastic - pool is gorgeous- many little paths with beautiful daybeds and seating - the farm is so clean and well run. Food is fabulous! Truly farm to table and the management is really fantastic. Lots to do from pottery - bike riding - little shops on resort property- love this place !!

This beautiful oasis of a resort is a hidden gem! The moment you walk in, you’re transported to a totally different world filled with luxury and 5-star customer service. It’s absolutely stunning and the rooms are VERY spacious!

One of the best hotels we have ever stayed at. The setting was like an oriental palace in a dream-like mirage but very real, with stunning rooms, glorious food and the most wonderful staff, not to mention the farm with the animals and the workshops. Not just a hotel but a destination, an oasis!

Al Moudira Hotel was the absolute highlight of my trip. I originally booked two nights and ended up staying six, which really says everything. The staff was exceptional—warm, attentive, and genuinely accommodating. The grounds are beautiful and peaceful, and the entire property feels like an oasis. The food was excellent, and breakfast offered a huge variety of fresh products sourced directly from their own farm on the property. Al Moudira was a stark contrast to every other place I stayed in Egypt, including prestigious five-star hotels. It’s simply not comparable. Where other hotels felt busy or impersonal, this place offered pure relaxation and authenticity. This is the only way I want to experience Egypt going forward. I will absolutely be back.

terrible services, not even 3 star, outdated and old building, unclean room, dirty towels and sheets, food have bugs and flies, staffs are arrogant and ignorant. look at their reviews online, most are negative. they pressure guests to write good reviews .

The property was outstanding! Very tranquil and lush. We enjoyed exploring every bit of the property. The hotel staff were all attentive and respectful. The hotel arranged a local guide, named Hamatto who was just excellent. He is an Egyptologist and gave us so much back story of ancient Egypt. We loved our tours with him!

Gorgeous, above and beyond

A great hotel, tucked away from Luxor centre but very close to west bank sites. Relaxing and enjoyable. Good facilities. Massages at the spa were passable and certainly not the best we have had, so there's room for improvement there. What stood out was their ability to taylor private sites visits with their driver and the availability of a really good guide, Mr Omar, and that in itself made our stay even better. The food options at the property are ok, not vast, but of really good quality especially when compared to other 5 star luxury establishments we stayed at in Egypt: the use of authentic and genuine locally farmed ingredients made a big difference.

everything

Simply one of the best properties that I have stayed in for some time. The design and aesthetic are fantastic, the food was delicious and above all, the staff were incredibly kind, warm and welcoming, making the place feel truly like home.

A true gem of beauty ! Nothing compares to the design, food, marble clear blue pool, warm service. It’s a gift for the world created by the founder and visionary Zhena.

This was one of the most beautiful hotels and grounds I’ve ever seen. Featured in countless magazines - you won’t be disappointed staying here. We ate at both restaurants within the hotel and each were equally amazing. I can’t wait to stay here again!

This was a magnificent hotel. Tucked out of the way in the quiet rural part of the West Bank. The staff were super sweet and attentive and nothing was too much to ask. The room was gorgeous with heaps of character, you felt every bit of furniture had a story to tell. The food was the best we ate on our 2 week trip of Egypt, high quality and classy yet not ridiculously expensive. I’d recommend this hotel to anyone!

Best hotel in Luxor. Amazing experience

The staff were lovely. Hotel is charming. It’s rather far from most attention but we didn’t mind as it’s a little treasure. The room was tastefully decorated. However, the air conditioning was very noisy and directly facing the bed. Which made one feel you were hit by a hurricane.

One of the best hotels I’ve been at, beautiful in every way!
