It’s got ‘the best bones in Egypt’. Can it recapture the country’s bygone glamour?
Ask someone who has stayed at Al Moudira to describe the hotel, and the odds are good that person will eventually deploy the word “oasis”. Unlike so many places across north Africa that lay claim to that descriptor, this one, which opened at the shaggy green edges of Luxor in 2002, merits it entirely and on many levels. First, there is its physical remove from Luxor city – on the Nile’s west bank, away from the bustle and cacophony of river cruisers and tourists.
Reaching up from the sea of palms in the garden is a striking, foursquare new structure with an octagonal cupola and a Jantar Mantar-like immutability – a library “tower”, in which Amereller plans to install around 7,000 books from his own extensive collection: architecture, archaeology, food, fiction and first editions of Baedeker’s Egypt, published in English in 1898.
