  • In front of the hotel lies a sandy beach 400 metres long.
  • The concierge arranges transfers for you.

Golf from the Kempinski

On a page of its own the hotel describes the course by Gary Player and the golf academy. It names no shuttle to the course, no golf packages and no room for clubs there. You pay for golf bookings directly with the provider.

So there are two things you have to plan yourself. You book your tee times with Somabay Golf. The hotel can tell you how you get to the golf course with your golf bag in the morning. The hotel advises against the local taxi and arranges transfers through the concierge.

Away from the course

The complex has gardens, pools, lagoons and waterfalls. The wellness area includes jacuzzi, sauna, steam bath and four massage rooms. The hotel names five restaurants and bars. According to the hotel, Luxor and the Nile valley lie two hours away by car and are suitable for a day without golf.
