Great for exploring Luxor

It's so central, most of the hotels are to far to walk from the town centre, but the Etap has the town right outside, and the ferries, museum, temples etc all in walking distance. Very pleasant walking outside along the corniche, and lots of small interesting shops. Rooms are large & well equiped, execpt having to borrow hairdriers from Reception, and you can lie in your bed and watch the Nile from the front rooms. Catering not very special, but that's about standard for Egyptian hotels, pity none of the resturants specilise in local food. Great breakfasts, though! The pool area's nice but no view, and the pools freezing.
