BEIT EL NIL - LUXOR
Beit el Nil is an intimate twelve-room villa sequestered within a large garden that runs right down to its private bank of the River Nile, with unspoilt countryside views across the water.
Whilst the original bones of the villa were retained, it was entirely renovated using reclaimed marble floors in a parquet inlay, polished plaster walls and Egyptian stone. By the same owner of Al Moudira, Beit el Nil offers a contrasting atmosphere with interiors in a more serene colour palette and style as compared with Al Moudira’s maximalism. The focus here is on the romantic garden and the unimpeded views of the River Nile and the wild riverbank opposite, which are best seen from the wrought-iron Winter Garden pavilion on the rooftop.

NILE CANOPUS
Nile Canopus is available for individual cabin bookings and reflects a contemporary take on Egypt’s Golden Era of travel in the late 1800s, when writer Amelia Edwards – one of the first female Egyptologists – spent weeks sailing up the Nile taking notes and making illustrations for her celebrated travelogue A Thousand Miles up the Nile. Everything on the boat, other than a selection of carefully selected antiques, has been custom-made in Egypt. In addition, Nile Canopus offers multiple indoor and outdoor areas and decks to relax and dine. A safari-style tent – a wink to famed archaeologist Howard Carter’s abode during his time in Egypt discovering Tutankhamun’s tomb – shades part of the upper deck, providing a unique spot to sit and watch the timeless scenes along the River Nile pass by.

SET NEFRU
SET NEFRU is a traditional “dahabeya” sailing boat, built nearly 100 years ago for a member of Egypt's royal family. Available for private charter for groups of up to eight people, it offers guests an intimate experience of the Nile at a tranquil tempo, allowing them to absorb the timeless, biblical scenes along this revered river.
IMMOBILIA CAIRO
IMMOBILIA was Cairo’s first skyscraper built in the 1930s, and it remains an iconic Art Deco landmark that was once home to Golden Era celebrities such as Leila Mourad, Omar Sharif and Kamal El Sheikh, the Hitchcock of Egypt. It now hosts three suites, one room and four individually designed serviced apartments in Downtown Cairo.

VILLA FAYOUM
Villa Fayoum sits in the midst of charming Tunis village just two hours South West of Cairo in Fayoum, nestled within a verdant 6000 sq m garden. It is an historic 12-room villa surrounded by mature palms which shade a 16- metre golden granite and Sinai-marble pool cushioned amid abundant local flora. There are views of the lake from the villa which, along with its adjacent houses, was sensitively restored using traditional materials and salvaged craftwork.
The villa’s interiors have also been imagined and designed by Al Moudira's founder Zeina Aboukheir. They have the same rich and eclectic style Zeina is known for, featuring handpicked vintage textiles, art and antiques that come together effortlessly, layering different historic eras and creative global cultures.

OUR FARM
THE AL MOUDIRA FARM is a fifteen-hectare working farm directly adjacent to the hotel, facing the Valley of the Kings. Started in 2022 with the aim of becoming fully self-sustainable, it grows several hundred varieties, from seasonal vegetables to the local hibiscus flower that makes Al Moudira's welcome drink. Depending on the season, up to 80% of the produce served at The Courtyard Restaurant, The Ottoman Hall and Khan al Moudira now comes from the farm.
