    I chose this boat hotel for a different experience, and I'm very happy that I made that choice. It is nice to sit on the deck in the evenings and watch the lights of Luxor across the river, and wake up to see sunrise on the Nile from across Luxor...

Happy Nile Boat
Create yourself lasting memories by staying in our floating hotel, moored in the very heart of Luxor, four minutes walk from the stop of the public ferry. If you plan to visit the abundant historical sites around Luxor, there cannot be found a more convenient location than ours. Enjoy the privacy of your own ensuite room and included breakfasts in the boat’s restaurant with the magnificent views of Luxor temple right across the beautiful River Nile.
