Al Salam Camp

There are so many wonderful points about Al-Salam Camp. Its location on the calm West Bank of Luxor provides you with a delightful nights sleep. On arrival the property owner collected us from the train station and took us to the camp - free of charge! Once arrived at the camp, he up-graded us from one twin to two private rooms, which were spacious, clean and peaceful. He then provided us with beer in the comforting courtyard area. We have had a wonderful few nights at Al-Salam, and the property owner is so helpful with everything from suggesting places to go and how to get there to arranging tours and obtaning a water pipe! Food is excellent house cooked fare and I challenge anyone to be able to finish all of it! I can not speak extremely enough of Al-Salam, from the moment you arrive in Luxor, you will be treated like one of the Pharoes lieing in the tombs near by. All trips to Luxor must now add this fantastic accomodation to their list of must do&'s!

Gets you out of the noise and hustle of the city into a basic camp-like setting Family business My dorm turned out private as I was the only one who booked it!

Four of us stayed five nights at Al Salam Camp, and for its location, character, value and warm household atmosphere, found it to be one of the best places weve stayed in. Run by Ahmed and his wife who makes a mean tagine! its a haven of tranquillity on the lovely West Bank of the Nile, by far the best side to stay on as its much more chilled than the busier, noisier East Bank. We were made to feel at home the minute we arrived, with refreshingly cold beer and informal chat around the public meal table to the sounds of Bob Marley. Our huts were lovely octagonal, colourfully painted and equipped with mosquito net, fan, electric light and socket. We were reassured that there was no need to lock our doors during the day as Ahmed would always be around, and indeed, everything did feel very secure (although we always carried our passports and money with us). For all its character, this is camping in huts, but toilets and showers were hygienic and also the camp itself was kept very clean. Breakfasting on tea/coffee, orange juice and either pancakes or omelettes inside the Bedouin-style meal region was a daily treat, to the sounds of braying donkeys and grazing buffaloes, and when we returned, hot and dusty, from a trip, a cold beer or orange juice would always be awaiting us. Ahmed himself is a great character who looked following us all nicely and also the camp made our Luxor expertise that extra bit special. We would definitely return and suggest highly.

A safe and happy location to stay from the busy noisy city of Luxor. Not faraway from public ferry right on the Nile, really very good meals, fair costs for taxis, gorgeous huts and finest of all of the evening campfires. A total bargain.
