al Moudira Hotel

Built from the ground up by its proprietor, this palatial, ocher-hued hotel near Luxor is a love letter to the Islamic craft. Nine courtyards and a dazzling colonnade connect 54 uniquely designed rooms, all filled with antique dowry chests, inlaid mother-of-pearl, and Mashrabiya-inspired details.
