Desert Paradise Lodge.....
is the ideal starting point to explore and experience Egypt on your
own, away from the crowds and the noise of Luxor.
In the immediate vicinity you will find unspoiled countryside, and
experience the local culture.
The Western Desert and the Theban Hills, which hid the enigmatic
ancient treasures of the valleys of the Kings and Queens and the
tombs of the nobles and dignitaries can almost be touched.
The mortuary temples of the great kings and queens - Rameses
II, Hatshepsut, Seti I, Merenptah and Rameses III are close at
hand as is the restored village of the workers who built the tombs,
with its delightful small temple devoted to the goddess Hathor.
The newly restored house of Howard Carter, the discoverer of
Tutankhamen's tomb is also nearby, and will be the focus of a new
museum to be built soon.
The Desert Paradise Lodge is situated in the village of Gabawi,
where you will find local shops, small restaurants and other
facilities.
We are always available to help our guests to organise
personalised tours of the Luxor area, or Nile cruises
