Located fairly close to Luxor is the attractive and peaceful Sofitel Karnak hotel. Providing plenty of facilites and outstanding service, this modern hotel is the perfect choice for couples wanting to explore some of Egypt's most beautiful sites whilst getting the opportunity for some serious relaxation by the pool.
After a day's busy bargain-hunting in Luxor's brilliant and bustling bazaar or time spent visiting numerous ancient sites, the Sofitel Karnak offers its guests a tranquil and relaxing stay.

The Sofitel karnik is without doubt the most beautiful setting imaginable. Set at the side of the Nile in beautiful gardens with a terrace and heated swimming pool to match.
Outside the hotel is a different matter. Luxor is the dirtiest city I have ever visited. As soon as you set foot outside you will be accosted with people after money, children and adults alike, either to go in their taxi, carraige or on a trip. They will not take no for an answer. The children just want money and demand it following for miles harrasing as you go.
The dishonest. Captain Ali as he likes to be known. We were introduced to him early on in our holiday as someone who organises trips. We went on two very good trips with him and he gained our trust until he new we were going home and then he conned one of our party an 83 year old out of her deposit for a trip. If he has changed his name, as well he may, he has a moter boat called Tom & Jerry & a feluca called Asterick. Stay clear of him and his favourite sayings "honesty is the best policy" and "money is here today gone tomorrow but freinds are here forever". Keep well away from him!
