+Quite comfortable accommodation, friendly staff and a good breakfast. We enjoyed birdwatching - we spotted 12 different bird species on the shore during breakfast.
−The bathroom was small, but what else can you expect on a boat?

“Hamdi stole me 8500 EGP”
+Hamdi, the owner of Moon boat accommodation, can help you organise a very nice trip for sightseeing of Luxor heritage. He can drive you anywhere and can pick you up after your visit. The breakfast is fine and safe.
−We booked a balloon flight for the next day via Hamdi, the owner. I gave him 8500 EGP for three passengers. The flight got cancelled for weather situation, but I haven't got my money back. Hamdi said that they sent it to the wrong account, got injured and came with many other excuses. I suggested to send at least some of it, however no money ever showed (after nearly three months). Thus I can truly claim that Hamdi stole my 8500 EGP. Not honest behaviour.

“Charming little boat -- a unique lodging alternative on the Nile . . .”
+Moon Boat was a unique lodging experience along the west side of the Nile across from Luxor. The rooms are very small. Two people would be very cramped. But for myself, it was fine. The bathroom also is tiny. If you shower, everything will be wet. Room 1 at the front is the largest and most comfortable. The two rooms in the back are the noisiest since the water pump is situated back there and comes on every time someone uses the toilet or showers. Otherwise, it's a pleasant place to stay. There are actually two boats side by side. Guests may use the "terraces" of either boat to relax, eat, or visit. The views across the Nile and all the feluccas is lovely. The boat is located about 15 to 20 minute walk south of the public ferry that crosses over to Luxor. It's a walkable distance. The same to the main street where all the shops and restaurants are. There are multiple restaurants facing the boardwalk that cater to tourists with western breakfasts, coffees, etc. along with good meal options. The friendly proprietor went out of his way to make sure I was comfortable, even switching me rooms to one that had a view and was more quiet. He also allowed me to keep my backpack there during
−The only negatives I already mentioned above. What it lacks in spaciousness it makes up in charm . . .

+Hamdy is a host with a big heart. He helped me a lot to find the cheapest options in town. I am a backpacker so I had a strict budget. Also the convos in the evening were amazing.

+Superbe emplacement avec vue sur le temple de Louxor. A proximité de la vallée des rois et des reines. Le propriétaire est très gentil, aux petits soins, et de bon conseil. Il nous a emmené faire le tour des temples et nous a raconté leur histoire, nous a proposé une location de vélo afin de pouvoir profiter de la vallée de nuit et aller au temple de karnak au petit matin. Possibilité de manger sur le bateau, nous avons goûté le tajine de poulet qui était excellent. Petit déjeuner bon et copieux. Je recommande vraiment !!
