Lack of hot water in the morning, it seems to by heated only by sun. The door in the toilet didn't close properly

Very simple, but very nice and romantic looking hotel, with a shady garden in front of it. Abdul, the host, is a very nice and helpful person. Located in a few minutes from the Medinet Habou temple.

Really nothing !

An exceptional week in a perfect location at the limit between the green fields of Nile vallet and the desert. In a charmful, authentic house with a marvelous view from the rooftop. Very close to archeological sites and not far from the Nile. Very calm : you will wake up with the birds songs... The meals are just incredible and great to discover authentic egyptian food (i live in Egypt and know what i'm talking about !) and different everyday. The service is perfectly convenient : always available, smiling, discrete and rich in good plans for logistics and visits. Congrats for this amazing place !

Nour El BalaD was just right for us. The manager of the hotel is really nice. We could eat at the hotel every evening even at late notice and the food was delicious. The feeling was a homely place. We loved the location as it is a bit far and isolated from everything. The taxi organised by the hotel manager, was absolutely perfect. We loved being driven by you Tahab! Thank you for 3 beautiful days at Nour el Ballad!

Nothing.

The quiet, the traditional rooms, the rooftop… and I don’t forget the excellent food of Abdul !!

It’s like visiting a family, warm welcome, relaxed vibe and extremely helpful owners. We received all the possible help and felt cared about. It also felt like being an explorer staying in a very authentic Egyptian house. The room was very specious and the home made breakfast was lovely. The owner is a heartwarming person who has a wide network and is able to organize everything in Luxor (taxi, hot air ballon, and I’m sure the list doesn’t end here). It’s also very important to highlight that the location is very quiet, we managed to get a rest from noisy Egyptian streets and slept like newborns. Strongly recommend!

Authenticity-Set amongst the Theban hills and Nile agricultural area. Simple, cosy, mud brick cottage with nice garden and rooftop to enjoy the panoramic views. Abdul is super friendly and can help with whatever you need. We booked a hot air balloon tour through him. He is also an excellent chef and the home cooked meals we had at Nour El Balad was the best food we had in Egypt. Duck, chicken, kofta were all superb.

we didn’t have air conditioning for a day which was tough in august but still well worth roughing it out to stay there. they made an incredible effort to fix it culminating in even buying a new unit and we were super grateful.

everything. what a wonderful place, with incredible ambiance, the kindest and most helpful and thoughtful staff, incredible food and a special location in the farms of the West Bank. truly special.

Stayed in August 2023

Located on the outskirts of town, it wasn't close to much in the way of convenience stores but that was easily overcome. No real complaints here.

Food was good, hotel is right on the edge of the desert and is a nice, quiet and small hotel it was perfect for our group of nine.

Stayed in July 2023

There was only 1 room with AC, so when you book be sure to get that one. The bathroom can always use improvement. The location is great with a beautiful view on the mountains, but you're 40 minutes driving (minimum) from center Luxor.

Abdul was a great host! Good food. Nice advice. Happy to help whenever needed. Level of English satisfying. AC in the room was working. Hot water in the bathroom...not always (but does it matter when it's that hot?). I'd recommend it when the weather is not too hot - in superwarm weather not sure this place is fresh enough for most "Westerners".

Perhaps the fabulous air canopies over the beds are a bit dusty and should be freshened up.

Very good and cozy hotel. Excellent homemade delicious dinners, as well as national tea drinks.

Amazing place, on the other side of noisy Luxor! Our favourite hotel, we change 5 during our trip! Very close to King and Queens Valley, Hatshepsut Temple. They have garden and some domestic animals. Breakfasts, lunch and dinner are delicious, cooked by master chef Abdull, It's a hotel owned by a family , so I felt like home!) Rooms are big and very cosy, If u need to go to Luxor center, 10 min taxi and u are next to the 5 pounds ferry, who will bring you close to Luxor Temple. We will definitely choose this hotel next time I'll be back in Luxor. They offer Hotairballon trip for good price and to other places if you want! Thanks again for everything Abdul, Taha, Mohammeds and Mahmoods)!

I don't have any complains. The hotel is amazing, very pretty design though its a bit far from the city.

The breakfast was good and simple. Eggs, bread, marmelade, juice, coffee etc. The dining area outside was amazing, very traditional and he host was so welcoming and sweet. He made sure everything was okay all the time.

The hotel is very well located in the serene countryside and the personnel is very welcoming, notably Muhammad. The hotel has a lot of charm as it is in the traditional Luxor style. What a view from the rooftop !

The only tiny thing that wasn't perfect was that the beds were quite hard. Probably also authentic, but quite hard :)

Everybody at Nour El Balad was super nice, very friendly and helpful. It was a lovely family atmosphere. The rooms were spacious and beautiful furnished. I read in other reviews that it was a bit dusty, it is but thats probably because it is a - very beautiful - historical mud building. We didn't mind. The terrace on the roof is super lovely. The food was authentic and very delicious. The location was perfect, not far to the valley of the kings an other sites. One side of the house looking in the lush green of the valley and on the other side of the road you could see the mountains and the dessert. We would definitely come again!

n/a, everything was great

The hotel is very convenient to visiting Luxor, it is in great location on a quiet street. It is on the West bank of the Nile, very close to the main attractions, but East bank is also accessible easily by the ferry. Our room was very comfortable, staff very friendly and we had amazing food both for breakfast and dinner. I would recommend.

nothing

The staff was incredibly welcoming, warm and attentive. the food was absolutely delicious and all prepared at home. The rooms were very clean and comfortable and the space was in a rural area amongst cabbage farms and green fields. They have a nice terrace with sweeping views of the fields, mountains behind the Valley of the Kings and around the corner of the Habu temple and very close to the Colossus of Menon.

Beautiful and quiet place close to the west bank main attractions. We truly had an amazing stay here and I cannot recommend this place enough. The building is traditional and beautifully decorated. The rooftop terrace has wonderful views. Showers are hot, rooms are clean and beds are comfortable. We had breakfast, lunch and dinner here and it was amazing every time. Staff is extremely helpful and friendly. Bikes can be rented next door and this is an excellent way to explore all the sights, even the ones on the east bank. Look no further when you’re visiting Luxor. We will definitely come back.
