Luxurious property. Hiring a vehicle would be helpful.
Pros: I was amazed by how spacious and luxurious the property was when I walked inside for the first time. It definitely has the 'wow' factor. The host, Mahmoud, was incredibly helpful and friendly.
Cons: After I returned home from the holiday, the host kept contacting me on whatsapp, and was mostly friendly. Unfortunately at one point he tried to sell me an Arabic incense-holder (worth no more than $30) for $900, and 'generously' offered to send it via air mail. When I questioned the price, he dropped it to $350 (I have all the whatsapp messages to prove it). It's a shame he acted like this because during my stay at the property he couldn't have been nicer. I'd still recommend staying at the property, but beware of the post-stay scamming... The temperature in Luxor was 43C and it would have been nice if there were more air conditioners in the property. There was an A/C unit in the bedroom only, which was adequate for cooling just that one room (and allowing you to sleep at night). It's best to hire a vehicle, as there is no Uber, and central Luxor is over 20 minutes away by car.

Fantastic!!
Pros: Property we originally booked had some breakdown and we were rebooked into another property for same cost. Abdul was a perfect host. Very attentive and responsive to our every need. He gave us fresh guava juice which was delicious. Mahmoud brought us fresh fruit in the evening and organized the sunrise hot air balloon ride for us. Overall our stay was very comfortable!

¡Te vas a sentir como en casa!
Pros: La villa tenía una piscina genial, y fue una bendición en los días calurosos. Es una casa completa, bien dotada con todo lo necesario y con 3 baños. Mahmoud, su dueño, tiene un excelente gusto, pues el decorado es adecuado, así como todo lo que acompaña a la villa. Muy recomendado para familias.
Cons: Las habitaciones son calurosas de madrugada: recomiendo instalar y poner a funcionar el aire acondicionado en vez de los ventiladores / abanicos. Es un buen sitio si tienes transporte privado, por que de lo contrario va a ser muy difícil llegar: queda en el west bank (orilla oeste) de Lúxor y bien retirada la villa.

Bellissima esperienza!
Pros: Ci è piaciuto molto soggiornare in questa bella villa in stile egiziano, comoda, pulita e molto confortevole. Si trova in una zona tranquilla, lontano dalla confusione, circondata da piantagioni di banane. Abbiamo fatto colazione nel giardino. I proprietari sono persone gentilissime e molto accoglienti. Ci hanno fatto assaggiare il miele che producono loro con del pane fatto in casa…una bella esperienza davvero! Sicuramente ritorneremo.

Pros: Sehr hilfsbereiter Gastgeber. Viel Platz. Von der Straße abgetrennter, ruhiger Außenbereich.
Cons: Für ambitioniertes Kochen müsste mehr Kochgeschirr vorhanden sein. Der Backofen funktioniert derzeit nicht, ich denke, dieser wird zeitnah ersetzt.
