An Egyptian vacation brings up images of the River Nile, the Valley of the Kings, and the thronging buzzing crowds, the heat, and the dust. The challenge is that with so many hotels to choose from, where do you stay.

This difficult choice has been settled once and for all since the Al Moudira rose out of the desert about five years ago, and has rapidly developed such a great reputation that it is now the place to stay when you pass through Luxor. It is a real luxury boutique hotel, without any equal in the whole of Egypt.

You should forget about the modern palaces you may have experienced before in Egypt, because at the Al Moudira you are going to feel you have taken a step back in time. The Al Moudira is like a cross between an old Beiruit Palace, and a Turkish Harem. 

Al Moudira is situated on the West Bank of the River Nile, and is an all suite property, with ................

Siwa is a small desert oasis some 350 miles west of Cairo, and the best time to go there is between October and April, which is before the mosquitos and the heat arrive. At this time of year the nights can be very cold, even freezing.

It isn’t easy to reach Siwa which is the most western of the five major oases of Egypt. A hire car, fully air conditioned can take about eight hours to get to this Sahara Oasis........

When considering  luxury Egypt holidays, or any Egyptian vacation for that matter, the Siwa oasis, and the Adrere Amellal oasis wouldn’t be a place that came immediately to mind. In fact you’ve probably never heard of either.

 

The Siwa Oasis is where one of the top eco-hotels in Egypt is situated, and the Adrere Amellal is probably one of the finest and most luxurious eco hotels in the world, and as such probably doesn’t feature on a list of package holidays to Egypt at your local travel agent!!

If you are not familiar with the whereabouts of the Red Sea, you can pretty well say it runs down the eastern border of Egypt from the Sinai Peninsula on the Israel border, where you will find the Taba Hotels complex, down through Sharm el Sheikh, onto Hurghada, and then Soma Bay and beyond. These are the names of the best known hotel and resort areas. It is a part of the world that has been a must for scuba divers almost for ever.

 

The question here is, when is the best time to visit..................

La Residence des Cascades is a relative newcomer, but already is a member of 'The Leading Hotels of The World'. It is situated in the middle of a new development in Soma Bay south of Hurghada. Get there now before the masses find it!!

 Les Cascades Golf Course Soma Bay is a most beautiful championship golf course designed by Gary Player and is the first course on the Western Red Sea coast as well as the first championship course in the Middle East designed by one of the 'Big Three' (Gary Player, Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus).

The course has been described by Gary Player as the 'next Pebble Beach'  and ranked amongst the 20 top golf courses in the world by readers of 'Golf Journal'.
If you want to play golf in Egypt this course is not to be missed
