Palace on the banks of the Nile<\/h3>\n

Selected in 2025 by Prix Versailles as one of the 16 most beautiful hotels in the world, Al Moudira Hotel<\/strong> enjoys a unique location on the west bank of the Nile River in Luxor, near the UNESCO-protected World Heritage Site of Thebes and the Valley of the Kings. The hotel is a maze of ten courtyards, with the appearance of a stately mansion, embellished with materials sourced from disappearing historic buildings, surrounded by ten acres of palm trees and exotic gardens. <\/p>\n

Suites and Villas filled with antiques<\/h2>\n

Inspired by the timeless ideas of Zeina Aboukheir who designed the hotel several decades ago, all rooms feature engravings, paintings and hand-painted frescoes inspired by Oriental designs and mythology. Chandeliers, lanterns, kilim carpets, sofas and desks with mother of pearl add to the fairy-tale magic of Arabian nights. Where the world can’t find you…<\/em><\/p>\n
