This large Dutch-Egyptian-run complex with a mock-Pharaonic facade is on the road leading to the Temple of Seti I. Spacious, quiet and well-equipped rooms have walk-in showers. Most look onto the swimming pool or surrounding countryside (no temple views). There is a healing centre using ancient remedies and an outdoor cafe serving soft drinks and water pipes.
You could just use it as a hotel, or you could take part in their rituals of massage and classes of ancient Egyptian healing, including sand cures. Essential oils and other products are on sale. Desert trips can be arranged.
