Mahmoud in The uk Slideshow | TripAdvisor™

Mahmoud just came back from a trip to the UK. Part business and part pleasure. He got a chance to go round a UK building site and also to see some DIY super stores. He has come back with brochures & videos and will be putting some of these things he has learnt into practise at our various sites. So improve our flats for our guests.

He also did a tour on a London bus and went to Liverpool Football Club. The funniest thing was he didn't ask the price and had a shisha at Edgware Road, it was £18 GBP!!!!! we only charge our guests 50p lol. So he learnt a lot and it was a pretty full week.

Great trip. Plenty of opportunities to meet the locals - Review of Flats in Luxor, Luxor, Egypt - TripAdvisor

Great review on Trip Advisor of Flats in Luxor, from a recent guest. Great trip. Plenty of opportunities to meet the locals - Review of Flats in Luxor, Luxor, Egypt - TripAdvisor: "I stayed in May with some friends. I have been to Egypt before to the Red Sea, this was my first trip to Luxor.

I enjoyed seeing the culture of Luxor, visiting the temples and the Valley of the Kings.

The flats are on the West Bank, which is great for seeing the old sites, and just a quick ferry boat ride to the East Bank.

We were well looked after, getting picked up on time to see the sites, plus our own Ferry man we could call to take us to the East Bank.

Had lots of fun doing the ballooning and the quadbiking - everything was organised for us by Jane and Mahmoud which was great.

THey also told us about some great places to eat - £3 for breakfast for two, and just £4 for a pizza in the evenings,at a restaurant overlooking the Nile.

Felt well looked after - we had plenty of indepenedence, but knew we had someone to help us out with anything we wanted to do when we stayed.

Thanks for a great holiday. Will visit again. Prefered it to being in a bubble the Red Sea Resorts.

Stayed May 2011, traveled with friends

Jane Akshar | LinkedIn Recommendation

A lovely review from a past client on my Linked In profile. I really ought to make better use of LinkedIn. Jane Akshar | LinkedIn: "“I rented one of Jane's Flats in Luxor in October of 2008. While not my first time in Egypt as a solo female traveler, it was the first time I traveled by myself much beyond the confines of Cairo. Jane's properties are first-rate and her knowledge of the archaeological sites is superb. She was able to get me the right connections for both land and water taxis around Luxor and even arranged for a visit to a remote site farther to the south. I felt right at home with Jane, and I look forward to returning to Flats in Luxor for another wonderful time.” July 2, 2011

Great Time Thanks Jane - Review of Flats in Luxor, Luxor, Egypt - TripAdvisor

Lovely review on Trip Advisor, Luxor specialist lodgings by one of the Swansea crowd. Hope to see them back again soon. Great Time Thanks Jane - Review of Flats in Luxor, Luxor, Egypt - TripAdvisor:
Stayed three weeks with Jane, and if a problem occurred Jane was always on hand with her door open and resolved it.
Lovely apartments, with all the amenities you need. A five minute walk to the ferries to cross the Nile to go over to the Eat bank.
Shops two minutes up the road, where you can buy all your food, drinks, phone cards etc.
Mohammed is always around to help and was a gem, I sooooo wanted to bring him home LOL.
I have only been home 24 hours and looking forward to going back to stay with Jane and the gang.
