“A grand-dame luxury hotel located on the banks of the River Nile. Steeped in history, this former royal retreat is where Agatha Christie wrote 'Death on the Nile'. Its opulent rooms, lush gardens, numerous restaurants and a heated outdoor pool make this the ultimate base from which to explore Luxor.”
