Virgin Holidays View
The ultimate luxury resort, the Sofitel Karnak provides comfortable accommodation, overlooking the River Nile. Karnak Temple and Luxor are both within easy reach, offering a wealth of ancient gems to marvel at. After a busy day sightseeing, retire to the terrace to admire your surrounds over a sundowner. There are also 3 restaurants to tempt you, including Opet, designed as a pharonic temple and hosting themed dinners every evening and O Nile with stunning river views and delicious a la carte specialities. Younger members of the family will enjoy the kids club complete with indoor playground and splash pool, giving parent’s time off perhaps to lounge beside the pool or explore to your heart’s content.
