El Kharga Vacations from $347

The property is situated right on the bank of the river Nile and our room had a view of the river. The roof top restaurant also overlooked the Nile. The room itself was large but very basic containing only a queen size bed and 1 small bedside cabinet. There was a closet to hang clothes. The bathroom had 1 of those folding doors which was off its track. No soundproofing there, you can hear people talking at all hours and chairs being pushed back. The food there is superb. The man who cooks is excellent and we had a great breakfast each day which was included in the price. We also tried 1 of their evening meals. Just 1 portion filled 2 of us and they kept bringing out more food. Totally delicious and for only around $6. Unbelievable. On the negative side, that side of Luxor experiences a power cut everyday at around 5pm for about an hour . Apparently to conserve the power there. Also in order to get there when traveling from the airport you have to take a boat across the Nile. Often this can involve walking across several other boats to get to the 1 belonging to the hotel . Not easy with a suitcase and baggage, but the manager is more than willing to help. I have to say that the staff were very friendly and more than willing to help with any issues.

Sayed has been an absolute gem found through Expedia! We booked a 4-day Nile cruise and couldn't have made a better choice. From the moment he greeted us, his kindness and professionalism made us feel right at home. The destinations we visited were simply breathtaking, with expert guides providing us with an unforgettable cultural experience. And what can I say about the hot air balloon ride over the Valley of the Kings in Luxor! An experience that left us breathless and one we'll always remember. The onboard food was delicious, adding an extra touch of pleasure to our daily adventures. We enjoyed every moment with Sayed and his team, and would definitely recommend their services to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable experience in Egypt. Thank you, Sayed, for an unforgettable vacation with my wife!
