Rezeiky Camp

Rezeiky Camp is a budget camp-style hotel at Gezira Al Bairat on the West Bank of Luxor, Egypt, in a village and farmland setting beyond the Nile. The location is peaceful and rural, with fields, palm groves and the western hills nearby, and it is a base for exploring the Theban necropolis, including the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, the Colossi of Memnon and the Tombs of the Nobles. The East Bank and Luxor Temple are reached by taxi or by the Nile ferry. The property has the informal, homely feel of a family-run camp, with a garden as its centre. The atmosphere is relaxed and sociable, appealing to backpackers, long-stay travellers and visitors who want to experience everyday village life on the West Bank. Room types include Doubles and Family rooms, so groups and families can share. Rates typically run about EGP 500-1,000 (around $10-20) per room per night, which is among the lowest in the area. Amenities include a garden, wifi and a restaurant. Dining is based on home-style Egyptian meals served at the camp, often in the garden, and breakfast is simple. A few village cafes and shops are within walking distance. There is no pool or spa, and facilities are basic, so visitors should expect a simple stay with an emphasis on atmosphere and hospitality. Service is personal, and the hosts can help arrange taxis, bicycles, donkey rides, local guides and early-morning trips to the western monuments. The camp suits budget travellers who value low cost, a garden and a village setting over comfort and polish, and who are happy to arrange transport for most excursions.
