Flats in Luxor (Egypt) - Condominium Reviews - TripAdvisor

One of our regular guests gives her second review on Trip Advisor. This is allowed if there is at least a year between reviews. We have many people who come back time and time again. They become family.



Flats in Luxor (Egypt) - Condominium Reviews - TripAdvisor: I have stayed with Jane at the Al Gezera flats 5 times now, and have enjoyed my visits each and every time. The staff are very friendly and helpful, offering to assist with anything you may need to make your stay more comfortable. The location is excellent, a 5 minute walk to the river and close to all sites on the west bank. The view is spectacular and the ambiance is very relaxing. It has become my second home in Egypt!

We at Flats in Luxor like to help............



ARCE Member and Author Janis Susan May Uncloaks Her Fascination with the Greatest Muse of All: Egypt | American Research Center in Egypt: The second blessing was Jane Akshar, owner of Flats in Luxor (which rents out the loveliest flats for holiday makers) and a tour arranger. When it became obvious that I would not be able to go over for this book, she volunteered to be my researcher-on-site and was invaluable with little things like train schedules and travel times – things you can’t really find on the internet.



I have to give a plug to Janis as she so kindly gave my business a plug

The
recent ARCE newsletter carries an interview with Janis and a preview of
her latest book. "Publishing simultaneously under four pseudonyms, the
author shares her deep passion for Egypt and writing and then reveals
the genesis of her current project, A Killing at El Kab. Read
about her stay in the dig house of 19th century English architect and
Egyptologist, Somers Clarke, where the story is set. Says May,  "Our
trip to the dig house was spectacular, the stuff of dreams. The house
itself is a fantastic, romantic, domed dream of a
place."...................


I have read lots of her books including the Egyptian File, cracking holiday reads.
