Welcome to Al Salam Camp on Luxor's historic West Bank

In the old days drovers of camel caravans would call at camps like Al Salam to relax and recover after weeks in the desert. Now our guests are independent travellers from all over the world who come to enjoy traditional hospitality in our lush green oasis just a short taxi (or camel if you prefer) ride from the Valley of the Kings and other world-famous monuments. Visit us for the warmest welcome on the West Bank and a unique experience:

  • Idyllic location on the banks of the river Nile far away from the daily hustle (but only minutes from the ferry)
  • Beautiful surroundings in a rural landscape of small villages and family farms
  • Food and music in Bedouin style near the camp fire under the shining starry sky
  • Accommodation in eight spotlessly clean huts arranged round a courtyard
  • Eco-friendly hot baths and showers
  • Sightseeing, transport and activities including hot-air ballooning, hiking, fishing and riding
The courtyard is the heart of Al Salam. Here you can meet guests and local people, eat, drink, read (we have a small but growing library) or just relax.  
This is where we celebrate parties with our guests in a traditional way. We serve breakfast (English style) on request starting 5 a.m., Egyptian lunches such as moussaka, chicken curry or beef tagin, and dinner round the camp fire or as a candlelit meal in the Bedouin style. All dishes are served with the day's fresh vegetables, and owner Ahmed cooks everything himself. Beer and wine is available except during the holy month of Ramadan. Contact us
