In Arabic, Al Moudira is the feminine for ‘the boss.’, the name workers and artisans gave to Zeina Aboukheir who, in 1999, originally conceived this haven of tranquility. Situated on a lush estate of almost 8 hectares on Luxor’s west bank, Relais & Châteaux Al Moudira Hotel is in close proximity to the renowned Valley of the Kings. Its spacious guest rooms and suites furnished with an eclectic mix of treasures sourced throughout the Middle East, open onto enchanting courtyards featuring trickling fountains. Beyond the ornate patios, stroll through shady gardens of palm trees, lemon trees and hibiscus toward the marble-clad swimming pool and hammam. Enjoy meals in either the beautiful Ottoman room, in the main courtyard or at the poolside pavilion, prepared using the freshest ingredients from Al Moudira’s own farm. Here at Al Moudira time slows down, matching the gentle flow of the River Nile.

This hotel is full of character and stands proudly in the traditional district of Achrafieh. Its ochre-coloured facade reflects the liveliness and warmth of the Lebanese capital. Guests can sip delicious cocktails in the cosy ground floor bar, while browsing through a collection of rare books, and studying the old photographs of the city that line the walls. The bedrooms offer a bold blend of East and West, and have been decorated with treasures from all over the world. On the rooftop you will find the jewel in the hotel’s crown, a swimming pool bordered by a hanging garden and surrounded by the scent of fig and orange trees, with extraordinary views of Beirut, the sea and the Lebanese mountains. This hotel is a magnificent base from which to discover a city brimming with energy.

La Maison Bleue stretches out grandly alongside a private lagoon, a stone’s throw from the blue waters of the Red Sea. Set just outside El Gouna, a lively Egyptian seaside resort, the property was originally designed as a mansion for an investor wanting to host his family and friends in Middle-Eastern splendor. Now a boutique hotel, an adults-only establishment unlike any other in the region, this residence with architecture inspired by Italy and North Africa features colonnades, marble, coffered ceilings, and frescoes. The immense suites, facing the mountains of the Western Desert, are brimming with sumptuous silks, venerable furnishings, and a remarkable collection of antiques and objets d’art. 
In the restaurant, French chef Vincent Guillou crafts cuisine from market and garden ingredients to showcase the flavors of Europe and Egypt. La Maison Bleue provides a serene sanctuary for relaxing on the lagoon’s sandy beach, beside the swimming pool, or in the spa.

Designed in the style of a dahabiya–traditional boats built between the 18th and 19th centuries–Nile Canopus offers cruises along the Nile. Thanks to its two large triangular sails and shallow draft, it glides silently through the water and can more easily approach riverbanks than larger vessels. Journeys of three to four nights, between Luxor and Aswan–or seven nights for a round trip–allow you to discover the temples of Philae, Abu Simbel, Kom Ombo, Edfu and Luxor, all witnesses to three millennia of history. The 10 cabins and suites aboard Nile Canopus feature refined comforts, with decor evoking the elegance of the 1920s. From your windows or on deck, you can admire the desert beyond the rows of palms and papyrus that line the shore. An all-inclusive formula lets you savor chef Hussein Gaber’s heartfelt, aromatic cuisine, from sunrise to starry nights.
