I really enjoyed my time in Al Salam Camp! The place is beautifull, great to stay after a long day of excursions. Its very quiet, full of plants and flowers. I loved staying in the patio just relaxing and enjoying the view. Ahmed, the owner is a magnificent person, He is very funny and kind. Always asking if everything was alright, and offering his help for anything i could need. But the best thing of Al Salam Camp was the food! It was always abundant and delicious. I will miss that food!

It is an amazing place, the atmosphere, the flowers, everything!!! Ahmed worries about each details, and give you advice about your best options to do in Luxor and obtain the best prices. His food is really delicious. Al Salam Camp is exactly at the west bank river. You can see the noisy City of Luxor, from a quiet spot, listening the birds, surrounded farmer fields, If you need cross to the other side, it is very simple, just 10 minutes with the ferry or motorboat. I loved the place!

Absolutely gorgeous. A great place to just spend some time laying about in the garden. Away from the hustle of the rest of Luxor. They coordinated travel and a bike for me without any hassle. Looked after me while I was sick too. Bear in mind, there is no wifi and the 4 bed dorm no longer exists.

Al salam camp is a charmer. It is small hostel, run by a family. Ahmed, the owner, certainly knows what hospitality is, and his wife knows how to cook. So don't leave for dinner anywhere, stay and enjoy delicious homemade food. There is a nice chillout area at the hostel as well. There you can enjoy the bonfire, play guitar or backgammon, or smoke shisha. Ahmed can also arrange trips and other activities. Agree on the prices beforehand, though.

We spent two wonderful days at Ahmeds oasis close to the Nile! We enjoyed the company of Ahmeds family & the great homecooked food! Al Salam Camp is the perfect place to escape from the stressful Luxor-Downtown and all the poor "standard-tourists". We did a bike-ride to the temples and an hot-air-ballon-trip, just amazing! We felt very safe and relaxed, we would highly recommend this place to everybody!

Al Salam Camp is an exceptional hostel. Location is superb on the Nile's beautiful chilled out west bank. The 'camp' itself is a cozy hangout surrounded by huts and bougainvilleas. There's a family atmosphere and the head of the family, Ahmed, is extremely helpful and friendly host. This is one of those places where I didn't even lock my door. The food, cooked by Ahmed's lovely wife, is also delicious. Extremely recommended.

Perfect place to spend my time in Luxor - a simple but very nice camp, a few huts, and all connected to Ahmed's family home. Meaning he's around for any questions you may have, and home made food always available. It's quiet around there, still just a short walk from the West Bank ferry The huts are very simple but nice and clean, and there's tables and benches outside (and in the shade) - and electric plugs as well, for those in need:)

Al Salaam camp's amazing! Beautiful setting on the Nile's West Bank, miles better than Luxor town, but easy to get to - Ahmed can organise a boat for LE10 for two(about 50p each for private water taxi!) to pick you up right outside. Great birdwatching in rural setting on the river, good food, friendly, even homely, but not stifling. Day tour of the west bank sights and a felucca to Karnak booked with Ahmed; both were excellent. Great beers and chat round the campfire! We will definitely return!

Great place for anyone travelling on a budget. We liked the peacuful location on the west bank of Luxor, the very friendly staff and the nice atmosphere with camp fire. During our three weeks in egypt, we never been treated better then by Ahmed and his family. The food was totally delicious and we would highly recommend this place to anyone (especially when you're looking for something different than the standard budget hostels in Luxor)!

Staying at Al Salam Camp is all about the atmosphere. It's simple with an outdoorsy feel, but that's why we choose it. Or else there is Four Seasons.;) But yes, the bed could be softer and the bathrooms was pretty dirty. It's located only a 10 minute walk from the ferry. The owner is really nice and helpfull. And we felt safe and well taken care of. Breakfast was good with fresh juice and pancakes.
