A traditional dahabiya designed for slow travel along the Nile, Set Nefru offers a world away from the larger cruise ships that rush between Egypt's headline attractions. Within its Art Deco mural and bathrooms reappointed in gossamer-thin Carrara marble, spend as much time on deck watching fishermen cast their nets at sunrise, passing palm groves and ancient temples, or sharing afternoon tea as Nubian villages drift by.

It may quite possibly be the most beautiful restaurant in Luxor: it's glass panelled windows, wooden beams, and ceramic tiled flooring make it a interior design heaven. What is more, the ambience is exceptional, the food even more so. Choose from a number of cold and hot mézzes and come prepared to share!

Located just south of Luxor Temple on the banks of the Nile, the Winter Palace Hotel is rightfully iconic. It's remarkable Victorian façade is matched with the luxurious interiors. The highlight however, has to be the pool. Surrounded by palm trees, take a book and unwind from the hustle and bustle of the city. 

The Luxor Temple is as striking as it is magnificent. There is nothing quite like visiting however in 'golden hour'! When the sun bounces off the stone, the light is just exceptional.
