“My stay at the St. George Sonesta was short, just one night, but it certainly made an impression with its breathtaking sunset views over the Nile River. I awoke at dawn when a call to prayer blasted out of every mosque in Luxor. I didn’t mind as I needed to get up so that I could make the boat that would take me across the Nile to go hot air ballooning over the Valley of Kings. The sun was a rising ball of fire as we lifted off from a sugar cane field for an hour flight over the temples of Thebes and the small villages below. As if that experience weren’t enough, later in the day I descended into the tomb of Tutankhamun. The Sonesta St. George was a great base from which to explore.”
