Amazing Race 5 Hotel Update: Crocidile Island in Luxor Egypt

Where: Crocodile Island, Luxor, Egypt

Ok, Ok, we know, you think we have been slacking on the whole “Amazing Race 5 Hotel Update” chronicles. Truth be told, before last night there had been 5 shows, only two of which featured hotels, so when the show didn’t feature a hotel, we didn’t write about it. Made sense.

However, after a couple of readers asked us where the Amazing Race stories were, and when last nights episode aired and still no hotels were featured, we decided it was time to change things up.

From now on we will attempt to find an Amazing Race hotel to feature, whether or not the contestants interact with the property we feature. Only rule from now on? Hotel we talk about must be located near the pit stop. Our thinking? These folks have to stay somewhere, so we will take a guess at where they might stay.

With that in mind, let’s look at last night’s pit stop: Crocodile Island in Luxor, Egypt.

It just so happens that Crocodile Island has a swank Movenpick resort smack dab in the middle of it. We are venturing a guess that Phil and the gang probably holed up here for their twelve hours between race legs.

Jolie Ville Moevenpick Luxor is a bungalow style resort, where each bungalow has its own private terrace. This resort is packed with pampering and plenty of sports options, all in the middle of the Nile river.

Looks like this resort has a couple cool terrace bars, and be sure to check out the fellahs tent, where the peasants go to get their party on while watching the Egyptian women shake it like a polaroid picture.

Nice to know these pit stops come with a bit of pampering.
