Al Salam Camp Reviews

a relaxing place to spend some time with a lovely family. good location. lots of advice. a fascinating experience living on the nile. my children enjoyed it very much.

Ahmed doesn't run a hostel, he runs a family. That's how we felt while staying at his hostel. And I think that this is something really special to notice, since you can find a lot of different things in Egypt, but most of the times you will feel like a walking Euro sign. That said, don't expect to find a five stars hotel or a hip hostel waiting for your here. This is the real deal, completely authentic west-bank-Luxor family style experience. Definitely recommended.

We had a really good time in luxor. Al salam camp is a great place to stay in a nice relaxed location. Food was lovely, especially the orange juice, and Ahmed is very helpful. We would recommend hiring bikes from the camp to see the west bank sites (if you're fit enough and its not too hot), its a great way to get around and avoid being hassled.

Al Salam is charming in appearance and in a beautiful setting along the West Bank of Luxor. Unfortunately, my stay there was uncomfortable. The owner Ahmed was intent on having me "make business" for him. He was upset with me for not booking any tours or buying more meals from the camp and expressed this fact. When two new guests arrived, he told me, "I don't want you to talk to them about any prices." .The camp could be really wonderful. Ahmed just really needs to work on his customer service.

This place is a unique experience for any traveler, one of the most charming places I have never seen

After the hectic time in the East Bank and the persistent touts, it was refreshing to have peace and quiet. We had to walk more to get anywhere, but the weather was fine for that. Also, we were able to get boats from the East Bank to take us close to the camp for about 10 E.pounds Ahmed was very responsive to our needs and his English was great so no communication issues

This is a great place just a short walk from the ferry. You don't need a cab, just stay along the river and you will find it. ahmed is very attentive and fun to talk to. He can also arrange good, hassle free tours at a good price. The food and fires were both wonderful also. You will love Al Salam.

We had a great stay at Al Salam. It was very relaxing, the food was great, and even though it was cold we were given plenty of extra blankets. They even arrange tours for you so that you don't have to deal with the ever persistent touts. I would recommend thisplace to anyone staying in Luxor!

Bathroom facilities need to be improved definitely: at moment there's only one shower provided with tiny quantity of hot water and lights at the basins' area are quite poor. I've instead really appreciated the healthy food I was given and the atmosphere at the new year's eve party
