Le retour - Review of Flats in Luxor, Luxor, Egypt - TripAdvisor

Another French review from some returning guests who compare it pre and post revolution and say how safe it was.

Le retour - Review of Flats in Luxor, Luxor, Egypt - TripAdvisor: Une fois encore nous sommes allés en congés à Louxor, que dire de plus par rapport à la dernière fois? La qualité d'accueil est restée la même, et le personnel toujours aussi sympathique. Un petit bémol concernant la qualité des repas pris sur place, même s'ils sont délicieux, le précédant cuisinier nous avait habitué à l'exceptionnel. En plus,la quasi absence de touristes à Louxor, nous a permis de profiter dans des conditions exceptionnelles des visites des sites alentours.
L'ambiance dans la région est paisible et à aucun moment nous ne nous sommes sentis mal à l'aise, et encore moins en danger !!

3 Nights at Al-Gezera, Flats in Luxor - Review of Flats in Luxor, Luxor, Egypt - TripAdvisor

My second Malaysian review!!

3 Nights at Al-Gezera, Flats in Luxor - Review of Flats in Luxor, Luxor, Egypt - TripAdvisor: We stayed at Al-Gezera flats on 29 February 2012 until 3 March 2012. We managed to book 2 apartments there.We went to Luxor as college break coinciding the mid-semester holidays.It was good choice as we were taken care of during our stay there.

We chose Al-Gezera because it is near to the Nile river and also located at the tiny town of the west bank beside the Nile.So to go for the grocery,mini-market or even local restaurant is reachable by walking or cycling.Furthermore we enjoyed the genuine and serenity of Qarna village atmosphere and the hospitality of the people.

As regard the apartments, we felt satisfed from the moment we checked in and checked out.It was cozy apartment with great decor,nice view at the balcony,functioning little kitchen and hot water was available at the bathroom.

We would like to thank Mr Mahmoud Jahlan and his team for the endless effort he made for us especially for the arrangement for the trips,barbeque at his villa,free boat transfer to Karnak and Luxor town and also for the reservation of football field at the Nile river bank.Jazakallah Khairan and thank you very much.We hope to see you again next time.

Ahmed Abid Abas on behalf of my colleagues from Malaysia.

Fantastisk skøn ferie i Luxor - Review of Flats in Luxor, Luxor, Egypt - TripAdvisor

My first Danish review! 

Fantastisk skøn ferie i Luxor - Review of Flats in Luxor, Luxor, Egypt - TripAdvisor: Har været på en 15 dages tur til Luxor, det har været den bedste ferie jeg nogen sinde har været på. Med skøn ridetur på æsler, en flot tur i luftballon, en romantisk sejltur på Nilen hvor vi så den flotteste solnedgang og en fankastisk sjov tur på Quad - bikes i den Hvide ørken.
Helt fantastisk guide til templer og kravkamre, han vidste hvad han talte om. Kunne tale engelsk så man kunne forstå det, dejligt.
Alt arrangeret af Jane Akshar Flats in Luxor.

An update on Kent Weeks library

An update on Kent’s library, it is sort of open now with limited stock and you should contact Ahmed Hassan for opening hours etc. I have his phone number which I can email you. The provisional opening hours are late afternoon early evening.

The Getty Institute, Unesco and the World Heritage Fund are all getting involved and will be donating books, old publications etc.

Kent is buying a number of Arabic language books on archaeology and conservation, on health care prenatal and maternal heath. He is hoping that locals will use it and educate themselves. It is aimed at locals and although that is mainly Egyptians it does include ex pats living here as well

Donations are welcome and one resident has already donate a number of books which Kent was glad to accept. He wants to populate it with anything and everything from English fiction to Arabic academic works and everything in-between.

His right hand man Ahmed is the guy to contact about donations, visiting and opening hours.
