The hotel at a glance

The El Gezira Hotel is located on the western bank of the Nile in the small village of Gezirat el Beirat. It has the same owner as the Gezira Garden Hotel close by and is the simpler of the two accommodations. The hotel was completely renovated in 2021 and features an excellent price-service ratio and an exceptionally hospitable atmosphere. The hotel has eleven simple rooms, a restaurant with an outdoor terrace serving delicious Egyptian food (including local beer and, on request, local wine) and a rooftop terrace with great views of the cultivated land and and the Nile, with the city of Luxor on the other side of the Nile bank. On the rooftop terrace, which is also a popular meeting place for locals, you can have dinner or enjoy a drink while watching the magnificent sunset. Folklore evenings with Egyptian music and dancing are often organized on the roof terrace. The waterfront promenade opposite the Luxor Temple can be easily reached by small public boats or the local ferry in the immediate vicinity of the hotel. Wifi is available free of charge in the hotel and guests can use the pool of the Gezira Garden Hotel, which is about a five-minute walk away, free of charge.

The roof terrace with the restaurant

The El Gezira Hotel is a reasonably priced, family-run hotel, ideal for an individual vacation in Luxor. The owner of the hotel, Gamal, and his family have been personally associated with us for many years. Their hospitality characterizes the exceptionally good and friendly atmosphere that prevails in this hotel.
