Hotels near Mummification Museum, Luxor

We were familiar with Luxor and were looking for a hotel with an optimal location. We found that! On the west bank, perfect for the Valley of the Kings and Queens and easy boat crossing (very cheap and very fun) to the Museum, Luxor Temple, Karnak etc. In addition, a unique roof terrace with a view over the Nile and Luxor, where you can enjoy a delicious meal every evening. Very nice people. Warm, caring and with a wealth of information (also in Dutch). The location is remarkably quiet, no through traffic. The hotel is attractive, the rooms and bathroom are spacious and clean. And there is a swimming pool to cool off. We had reserved a large period, so we could also make a 5-day desert trip. Past Oases and to ”The White Desert”. The trip was tailor-made for us, two people, and it was great. We look back on two weeks in which we saw and experienced a lot in an incredibly relaxed atmosphere. Thanks to the owner Karin and her husband Hamadan

On West Bank walking distance to 5 min ferry ride to East Bank!! Everything about this stay was absolutely beautiful. Don’t be fouled by the small dirt road off the beaten path, to the backroad entrance. Once you walk in and turn left WOW, stunning! Beautiful architecture with a fountain, plants, flowers, fruit trees, inviting rooms, some with balconies overlooking green fields. The meditation, yoga, prayer dome BEAUTIFUL such a gift and appreciated! There is a lovely pool in the shade with pool towels and lounge chairs. The food delightful cooked in a clean kitchen in an out building. Food was prepared with love 💕 the whole staff are so helpful and appreciative that we were staying at Embrace. We stayed in family room 202. King bed with 3 twin beds. Lots of space not crowded. A full bath (shower, sink, toilet) with another toilet room and an additional sink. View of Valley of the King/Queen mountain. Bedding is very comfortable and mattresses look new. Two floors with beautiful staircases and an elevator if needed. For my taste, likes, needs and comfort level, I can not think of a better place to stay and we travel multiple times a year to different countries.

The hotel was amazing and we really enjoyed our stay. It was our last hotel in Egypt and the best one! All the staff were friendly and ready to help in anything but we want to especially thanks to the Guest Relations Catherine, she made us feel welcomed and she was friendly, helpful and kind with us the whole time. The swimming pool is fantastic, after a hot day you can chill over the pool, have some drinks and see the beautiful and unforgettable sunset at the River Nile. The hotel is well maintained, the rooms are spacious and clean. They have several restaurants with different dietary options, the breakfast was a delicious international buffet and they even have a gift shop inside the hotel. It is accessible for wheelchair user and kids friendly. Definitely we highly recommended.

Unforgettable stay in Luxor Perfect experience and wonderful stay, thanks so much for Mr.Mustafa and Mr.Karam, especially for my wife's birthday cake surprise, I appreciate it. Good good

We arrived at midnight for a one night stay and left in the morning to see the temples. Good location. Friendly staff. My only suggestion would be to provide better directions to find the 6th floor as the elevator stops on the 5th, and there was no signage to direct us towards our room. It was confusing and took longer than expected to find where we needed to go even with directions from the front staff.

Peaceful place on the bank of the Nile away from the busy areas where you can relax. The grounds and views of the Nile are beautiful. The staff go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and happy, especially Ahmed (nephew of the owner) who was lovely to me and my son and really looked after us when we went to have a look around the west bank. The owner and his wife were also lovely and we felt very safe there. You can get food there and they can organise cars and trips. If you like walking, you can walk and get the ferry or one of the many independent boats across to the east bank. Although it is away from the sites of the east bank, it is quiet and peaceful and you will appreciate that at the end of a busy day of sight seeing and haggling. Would definitely return.

We arrived in Luxor extremely tired after a 10hr journey on a sleeper train from Cairo. On approaching the hotel our taxi driver asked us why here? … I’ll tell you why here… The Jewel Howard Carter hotel is a dazzling oasis on Luxors West Bank. The staff that greeted us were friendly and welcoming allowing us to check in super early . Our room was extremely comfortable with a view of the garden and the sound of birdsong ( much nicer than the sound of Cairo traffic!) The staff were able to book us a wonderful driver for the 2 days we were here, he took us to the east bank for lunch, sightseeing , stopping at a local bar for Egyptian tea, then day 2 sightseeing on the West Bank. They also arranged for a tuktuk to take us to our sunset felucca trip on the Nile. The food at the hotel restaurant was delicious and as we had an early flight they even gave us breakfast to go! Shukran Said and your wonderful staff for making us feel so welcome

One of the best hotels in which I have stayed. It was overall an amazing experience. First, professional staff and very friendly, from reception to restaurant and room service, all was amazing. The room was clean and fully equipped with everything that a guest might need. When faced with a problem they quickly try to solve it. Also they were very trust worthy. I happened to lose my sunglasses and they kept them safe for me to pick them up. The view from the nile side was stunning, I strongly recommend picking a room with that view, it’s totally worth the additional fee. The breakfast was also delicious with variety of choices and so was the dinner. This stay is totally worth 5 stars

This hotel is a special place. Its location is absolutely the best for the West Bank sites ( if you like to walk like we do, Valley of the queens, Valley of the Nobles, Deir el Medina or the Ramesseum are reachable within 20 to 30 minutes) If you want transportation you just go to the street and soon a tuk-tuk, car or taxi will stop and you can agree on a price. Just one warning : do not do this at 7.30 in the morning or so because everybody is rushing to work and there are no empty cars that will take you to a touristdestination or even to the ferry (3 kms from the hotel). The hotel of course can take you anywhere but you will have to give a notice beforehand, the price will be fixed and higher, but you will have a nicer car too. We had a room on the topfloor and we absolutely loved it. Very well furnished with a matching design, good wardrobe, big enough balcony with seating and functional bathroom. The view over the very well cared for property, the fields, the balloons in the morning giges you an instant holidayfeeling. The only thing that bothered a bit was the plastic cover of the matress because of the cracking sound but we easely understand the hygenic reasons for it. We had several dinners here and were honestly surprised by the quality of the food (crispy fresh salads, hummus with nice presentation, refined egyptian pastry) and the very nice and friendly service. The friendly service and quality is also present at breakfasttime with fresh juice and Lavazza coffee and more than enough food. There is one more very special thing about The New Memnon Hotel : Mr Sayed, the owner is besides his concern about the guests, also a very caring person for everybody who workes in this community of a small hotel that wants to give quality to its clients but also more quality of life through a better income for its dedicated workers. Instead of a tipbox you will be asked if you want to contribute an amount on top of your bill so he can distribute it to everyone who keeps this hotel such excellent value. Be sure they will be thankfull.

Let’s all stay here to watch the beautiful early morning hot air balloons! The hot air balloons started to rise one after another at about half past six. I saw it at half past seven, and I was really satisfied. The price is low, it’s really a great value for money!
