THE HOTEL
This palatial Luxor Resort & Spa is one of the finest Hilton properties in the world. Grand architectural touches abound, and are complemented by traditional Egyptian touches to create a genuinely impressive, at times breathtaking.
The rooms and suites exude an elegant simplicity, whilst still packing in all the luxurious touches you'd expect as well as some traditional Egyptian detailing.
This hotel is the ideal base from which to explore the local area and culture - from Nile cruises and Bedouin campfire picnics to the temples and museums of Karnak and Luxor.
We fell in love with the Spa Suites which each have their own private pool and treatment room. They are pure escapism.
Winter (October to April) for cultural trips, although May to September is great for the Red Sea. Ramadan is a particularly exciting time to be in Egypt - it is celebrated here with more exuberance than anywhere else in the world.
