Hi KARLCHADW
Great place the Movenpick, we will be going to Luxor 14th to 28th June. We will be staying at the Mercure Corallia with my brother and his wife. Hopefully we will call into the Movenpick to visit The Fellah's Tent one evening, it is a great night out. If it's your first time in Luxor and you need any info just post here or PM me. :wave
