Snapshot
02Overview
On the far side of the Nile from the busy centre, the West Bank feels closer to the old burial grounds than to the East Bank streets. Memnon Street gives New Memnon Hotel its West Bank address, with the Valley of the Kings and Medinet Habu among the best-known sites nearby. It is a base for people who want to spend time on this bank and explore at their own speed.
We arrange the booking as part of your trip. Check room details, meal options and services with us before you stay, so you can plan around what matters most to you.
Background
New Memnon Hotel is a three-star hotel on Memnon Street, on the West Bank of Luxor, Egypt. Egypt Discovery books hotels for travellers; the property is not owned or run by the tour operator.
Luxor's West Bank lies across the Nile from the East Bank, where Luxor Temple and the modern centre are found. The hotel's address puts it in the part of the West Bank linked with the Valley of the Kings and Medinet Habu; distances and journey times depend on the route.
The West Bank belongs to ancient Thebes, whose remains are on the UNESCO World Heritage List as Ancient Thebes with its Necropolis. The Valley of the Kings served as a royal burial ground in the New Kingdom, and Medinet Habu is the mortuary temple complex of Ramesses III.
The listed address is Memnon Street, West Bank, Luxor. Confirm room types, meals, check-in details and services for your dates. Opening times at the sites can change with the season.

Highlights
Things to Consider
Worth knowing
Many Luxor hotels are on the East Bank by Luxor Temple and the modern centre. New Memnon Hotel is on the West Bank, a different choice for guests who prefer that side of the Nile.
Choose your room
A room for up to two guests, offered with either twin beds or one double bed. The private bathroom has a bath, a shower, a bidet and free toiletries. Air conditioning, a tea and coffee maker and a terrace are listed. The choice of beds suits friends travelling together or a couple; no view is mentioned.
Rate on request
Enquire
This room sleeps three, each in a single bed. The private bathroom has a bath, shower and bidet, with free toiletries. Air conditioning, a tea and coffee maker and a flat-screen TV are listed. Three separate beds make it practical for a trio; we have no view or terrace to report.
Rate on request
EnquireDining
We do not have restaurant or bar names, opening hours, menus or board plans. The facilities list does include a restaurant, a bar, room service and a rooftop terrace, so ask the hotel whether meals are served on site and whether you need to reserve. Check with it before you book if breakfast or another meal matters to you. No meal basis such as bed and breakfast or half board is stated, so confirm what your rate covers.

Where it fits
New Memnon Hotel gives you a West Bank base for the Valley of the Kings and Medinet Habu. Add time on the East Bank to see Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple.
Accessibility
New Memnon Hotel is on Luxor's West Bank, where streets and paths can be uneven, dusty and short of shade. Reaching nearby sites can mean walking over sand or rough ancient stone, and some monuments have steps or slopes. Confirm the entrance, room access, bathroom layout, lifts and wheelchair facilities with the hotel before booking. If you use a wheelchair, walker or other aid, tell us exactly what you need so we can check the practical details. East Bank hotels may be easier for the town centre; this address puts you on the West Bank.
Before you go
Ask the hotel for its minimum age, child rates and any conditions that apply to children on your dates. Check whether a child shares existing bedding or needs an extra bed, and whether a cot is available. Pushchairs can be hard to use on the sandy or uneven paths around West Bank sites. If you need a high chair, ask the hotel directly.
These fares are a guide, as prices and rooms move through the year. Do ask us and we will confirm the fare for the days you have in mind.
Location
The hotel is on Memnon Street, on the West Bank, the part of Luxor lying west of the Nile and opposite the East Bank. The address names the district, but we do not have nearby landmarks or local transport details to hand. Ask the hotel how best to reach particular sights, cross the river or arrange a driver. This description rests only on the stated address and the general layout of Luxor.

LuxorSonesta St. George sits on Luxor’s Nile Corniche on the East Bank, a short drive from Luxor Temple and Karnak Temple. We are a licensed Egyptian tour operator and arrange private transfers, Egyptologist-guided pickups and timed-entry tickets where available. Distinctive POV: we do not run large coach arrivals; private transfers reduce waiting and help with early starts. Compared with cruise-based stays, staying on the East Bank cuts crossing time to West Bank sites in the morning. Trade-offs: Corniche traffic can be audible in road-side rooms and riverside rooms face more sun in mid-afternoon.
