“Sheherazade Luxor is an intriguing proposition: a village setting on the Nile's west bank, a pastiche of *Arabian Nights* design, and a commitment to solar power. The tented restaurant promises immersive dining; the courtyard is reportedly lovely. While I note a few mentions of uneven service and dated rooms, the overall concept of a sustainable, family-friendly base near Luxor's major archaeological sites is appealing.”
