White Gorf Hotel
White Gorf Hotel is the furthest property in this guide from everything worth seeing. Luxor Temple is 4.5 km away, the museum 4.3 km, the Colossi of Memnon 4.9 km and the Valley of the Kings 7 km. Location still scores 9.3, and the overall is 9.5 from 119 reviews, because guests are not choosing it as a base.
The reviews say why. One calls it the most unusual hotel he has stayed in, another the best place he has stayed in Egypt, and the word that keeps coming back is the style of the building. Staff scores 9.7 and the owner is mentioned by guests who booked two days and had their itinerary planned for them.
All six units are 75 m2 one-bedroom apartments for two people, and the only thing that changes between them is what you see: the garden, the grounds, the pool, a balcony or a private terrace. Each has a separate living area, a kitchenette, a private bathroom and air conditioning. WiFi scores a full 10, the highest of the seven categories.
Outside there is a plunge pool open all year with a bar, loungers, umbrellas and towels. There is a restaurant, a coffee house and a snack bar, and the kitchen runs themed dinner nights and cooks for children. Reception arranges bicycle rental, bike tours, guided walks, horse riding and fishing. Pets are not allowed, and cots and extra beds are not available. Plan on a taxi for every excursion.
