Nefertiti Hotel Luxor

Nefertiti Hotel is one of the most beloved and consistently recommended independent properties in Luxor, a family-owned establishment run by the El-Sahabi family that has been welcoming international travelers for generations. Located opposite the illuminated facade of Luxor Temple on the East Bank, the hotel offers one of the most dramatically positioned rooftop terraces in all of Egypt, where guests gather at sunrise to watch hot air balloons rise over the West Bank hills and at sunset to see the ancient temple columns bathed in orange light. The 30 rooms feature air conditioning, satellite TV, private bathrooms, free Wi-Fi, and complimentary minibar. A generous buffet breakfast is served daily on the rooftop. The hotel’s multilingual tour desk, run by the family’s companion company Aladin Tours, provides highly regarded guided excursions to the Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple, the Colossi of Memnon, and throughout Upper Egypt. An airport transfer service is offered. Luxor Train Station is a 10-minute walk for connections to Aswan and Cairo. The hotel has appeared in Lonely Planet as a top recommendation for multiple consecutive editions. Guests consistently describe Mohammed and the reception team as among the warmest and most helpful they have encountered anywhere in Egypt.
