Among the big news, we find an address in Luxor: Al Moudira hotel, moudira.com. Owner Zeina Abou Kheir commissioned Olivier Sednaoui, an Egyptian architect trained in London, who has since built private homes and exclusive hotels across Egypt to build the hotel. Sednaoui brought in a team of local master masons to create a design that combined Middle Eastern architecture and tradition with sustainable construction techniques.
For the decoration, we perceive the touch of the owner, an affirmed collector, with hand-made wooden doors, locally sourced terracotta, painted glass from Alexandria and hand-painted floor tiles from all over Egypt and the entire region. Truly, a luxury address that was missing in this destination…
