Egpyt 4.4 -Bath-

After "breakfast" I saw the World Local Bank on our way to the Hotel and the security guards were those heavily armed policemen! Safe ah? Within Luxor, there are only three main streets but their main streets looked more like service roads in Dubai.

Muhd said our hotel was Le Meridian but the hotel name was Steigenberger Nile Palace Hotel, but we had no more powers to argue with him anymore, we were tired and dirty. Dont care Le Meridien Hotel or Lee Loh Mou, we just wanna get a proper bath after stinking for 36hours, anyway this hotel also looked good.

If s0ohai did bought us the sleeper train tickets from Cairo to Aswan, instead of 2nd class train from Cairo to Luxor, we would have stayed in "The Old Winter Palace Hotel Luxor" on our way back from Aswan. The Old Winter Palace Hotel Egypt owned by Sofitel was build in 1886, a 5-star hotel located on the banks of the River Nile in Luxor. The first hotel in Luxor, we would have been sleeping on a 100+ years old bed lorrr! Maybe not?

Because of that so0hai, everything was messed up!

The hotel lobby was quite entertaining place because there was a Pharaoh doing duo jobs, Pharaoh the Shoes Cleaner and Pharaoh the Waiter! Same person different jobs, Pharaoh must had bankrupted himself building pyramid. I think he wasnt happy I took his pix and not paying him. In hotel la Mr.Pharaoh not "force" tips :P!

The front desk guy photostatted our passports and asked us to arrange the Photostatted copies for him according to room we stayed in. First of all, when we gave him our passport in pair and according to room we stayed as requested by him. Now, after Photostatting, he requested us to arrange the passport copy for him again. He must be lazy, stupid or he couldn’t read English. Getting this kind of services from a 5stars hotel was unthinkable. Those front desk guys couldn’t even give me a proper smile!

But their rooms were gooooood, or maybe that was the effect of 36hours without laid! To be fair, the hotel was quite good in terms of furnitures.
