When in Luxor, you don’t follow a map — you follow the vibe. So we called in Hala El Sherif: Egyptian shoewear designer, and walking moodboard. She curated a day well spent, linen well pressed, and every stop whispers “if you know, you know.” . This edit isn’t just where to go — it’s how to arrive.

10:00 AM
Breakfast at Tiffany's has got nothing on breakfast in bed at Al Moudria.
Slow mornings are charming. But slow mornings in a hand-painted suite that feels plucked from an Egyptian dynasty? Consider it the new standard.
The Ghuroob Abaya from N.A STUDIO’s Ramadan ’25 capsule isn’t just a look — it’s a statement. Sunset-drenched linen, hours of artisanal work, and the kind of effortless drama that turns Al Moudira's corridors into runways.

Lunch is served — but the real dish is the walk-up. Terracotta walls, tiled floors, and one Ghuroob Abaya stealing every glance. Ombre linen, off-duty attitude. Who said drama was only for the evenings?
Lounging around the pool, grabbing a midday bite at THE boutique hotel of all boutique hotels.

Order the stuffed vine leaves, the grilled halloumi, and always say yes to mint tea. It’s not just a meal — it’s a midday ritual, best enjoyed in linen and good company.
LUNCH O'CLOCK 1:00 PM
Start at the souk. Skip the magnets, head straight for the beads. The best ones are worn-in, uneven, and ready to be layered with everything. Stack them high, clash them unapologetically and don't be too forgiving when bargaining.
Mid-morning? Head to the hidden farm within Al Moudira. Our girl wears the most-loved Baiadera Knit Cardigan, wrapped in stripes and holding a baby goat. Because yes — the rural life has never looked more editorial.
Take a felucca ride before sunset. The Nile doesn’t rush, and neither should you. And for the history buffs (or the architecture-obsessed), the tombs are a must — walls so detailed they rival this season’s prints.
Tip: Never underestimate the power of a great abaya, a handful of amber beads, and a soft wind off the Nile river.

We came for the food, stayed for the fantasy. The plates? Let’s call them… polite. But the setting? Decadent. Candlelit corners, gilded mirrors, and that old-world hush that makes you sit a little straighter.
Come for the mood, the history, the sense that something fabulous happened here — and might again. Order what you like, but don’t forget: the main course is the atmosphere.
From silent tombs to loud cardigans — it’s not just travel, it’s how we live in clothes.
Until next time: wear what moves you, pack bold, and let the itinerary the one to keep up.
