Decorating your own apartment in Luxor

Michael on the roof owns the penthouse flat and has his own views on flat decoration. He started with his lounge (stars) and bedroom (grapes).




This year he decided to get his hall, dining room and kitchen. He was fascinated to see techniques that must have been used in the original tombs being used. A chalk covered piece of string to get lines for examples. Can you recognise which tombs these are from.

This is the hall.




The kitchen



and finally the dining room

Featured Apartments in Luxor - Nubian Villas

Nubian Villas
Over on the West Bank we have developed a small village of traditional one bedroom villas. No roads on the West Bank have names which makes life a bit more fun. However once you have been there once finding your way is no problem and we always offer a complementary pick up to all our guests.



This satellite map shows the location next do to our larger Goubli property. The satellite picture was taken in June 2009 before we finished the properties but at least you can see the foundations.
These villas are for sale, long term rental or holiday rental. There is plenty of availability for Christmas. Please contact us at info@flatsinluxor.co.uk for more details.



Staff on the premises 24/7 and they maintain the communal areas, provide security and will run errands or help with translation. Built in 2009 these are our most recent project and aimed at those guests looking for a more ecologically friendly and green holiday property. Traditional architecture and building methods were used on this development. Each villa consists of a one bedroom studio with a separate kitchen and bathroom.

Featured Apartments in Luxor - Anubis and Seth

These one bedroom apartments are situated in Flats in Luxor East Bank building. This is located in the heart of tourist town. Seen here on the satellite map.



The street which is unnamed is off Khalid Bin Walled street which is the main street housing the Sonesta, Nile Place, St Joseph, Gaddis hotels. This side street is opposite the Isis Pyramisa and MobileNil is on one corner and BNP Paribas on the other.

The side street used to be a cul de sac but recently access was made to Medina street but it is still little frequented so an oasis of calm in the middle of busy Luxor. There are staff on the premises 24/7 and they maintain the communal areas, provide security and will run errands or help with translation.

This was the second apartment block we built and was complete in 2005. It comprises three apartments with three bedrooms and two apartments with one bedroom. The one bedroom apartments are on the ground floor making them ideal for the less mobile.



Luxor has a limited nightlife and for those wishing to enjoy it this location is ideal being within reach of western style restaurants, bars, hotels, discos and other night time attractions. Just across the Nile River you have all the cultural attractions of tombs and temples.

The flat itself consists of one separate bedroom, a shower room and an open plan kitchen and bathroom. This is the layout of Anubis and Seth is a mirror image. Ideal for a single person or a couple, we often have long term rentals in these apartments from people working or studying in the area. There is a roof terrace for the use of all the apartments in the building. Both these apartments are for sale, long term rental or holiday rental. Please contact us at info@flatsinluxor.co.uk for more details.
