Al Moudira Hotel

On Luxor's West Bank between desert and farmland, this boutique palace-style property sits in a quiet garden setting. It's minutes from the Valley of the Kings and Queens, Hatshepsut Temple and Madinat Habu; Luxor City is about a 40-minute drive or a scenic 30-minute ferry/boat ride, and Luxor International Airport is roughly 25 minutes away.

Domes, archways, courtyards and hand-painted murals create an oriental palace vibe. Seven low-rise buildings surround private courtyards; every ground-floor room is individually decorated with garden views and antique touches. Rooms include AC/heating, satellite TV, minibar, hairdryer, room safe and a full bath with tub or shower; suites add larger lounge areas.

A poolside restaurant and bar serve refreshments from morning to sunset. The front desk arranges excursions like horse and camel rides, felucca trips, hot-air ballooning and guided tours.
