AL MOUDIRA
Be a Pharaoh

Al Moudira is a rare gem...one of the world's great hotel treasures, it is an oasis of Middle Eastern charm and hospitality in its own garden on Luxor's West Bank.  It IS, as they say in their own literature, an Oriental Palace with hand crafted beauty, frescoed archways and flower-filled courtyards, every room an individual and sumptuous escape.  The baths are as spacious as hammams and richly appointed. 

"Al Moudira" means "the boss" and this was name given to the owner, designer and hands on supervisor of its construction and this epithet lasted, given name to the property itself.  Each of its 54 luxury suites is unique, fusing vibrant and restful colors and fabrics with hand painted murals from Egyptian history and mythology.  All have air conditioning, telephone, satellite TV, mini bars with graceful wooden shutters on every window.  Breakfast is served on the terrace with fresh orange juice and jam made from the fruits of the Al Moudira garden.  A different menu, mixing Mediterranean, Eastern and European flavors, is prepared nightly for dinner in The Great Room. 

Two lounges welcome you to relax and enjoy either Colonial or Arabian Night ambiance.  At the heated and imaculate swimming pool you can enjoy snacks, salads, pizzas and mezze.  Complete your touring day with a massage or Turkish bath, or relax in the solarium.  An art gallery, small shop and babysitting services are also available.  Al Moudira stands between the Nile and the Theban mountains, only 20 minutes from Luxor's airport.  But, as they say, a world apart.
