Hotels near Valley of the Kings, Qesm Al Wahat Al Khargah

Took a Family trip to Egypt didn't know what to expect. The Host Khodary and his wife was amazing. They treated us like family. The Rooms were amazing with modern decor and had beautiful views of the ancient city of Luxor and the Valley of Kings . Me and my family of 8 Mother, Father, and Sisters were very challenging at times but Khodary was very patient with us and made sure he gave us complete accommodation of all of our needs. The food here was spectacular. If your going to be taking a trip to Egypt staying at the Royal Mountain Hotel is a must have.

The hotel is really a small oasis on the west bank of Luxor, opened a few months ago and the guys who run it are among the kindest and most helpful people I've met on site. Amr, the owner, helped us with everything: from transfers, to guides for the temples, up to the most basic information about the place. The restaurant offers excellent and plentiful local cuisine at a decidedly affordable price for European tourists. The livelier east bank is located 15 minutes by taxi from the hotel (200/300 egy), while the surrounding area is quiet and 99% inhabited by calm and unobtrusive local people, who (unlike the east) they care little about the fact that you are a tourist and are not insistent on selling you things (which instead constantly happens on the other bank) The swimming pool is a pleasant place to spend sunny afternoons after visits to the archaeological sites, accompanied by soft drinks at a local shisha place. And that is what makes, together with the staff, this hotel very special in its peace. The rooms are modest, but functional, perfect as a base in the area. If you are looking for rooms in large resorts or large chains, the hotel is not for you, but if you want to feel at home, for sure, you can book here. Over the months and with some small adjustments and once it reaches ”full capacity”, this hotel could become a gem of the West Bank even for the most demanding Italian tourists. Ps. WC equipped with integrated bidet...JOYS!
