One of the new villas

What is your opinion of Egypt as a tourist destination?

I am a member of LinkedIn which is a professional networking site. Most of my contacts are people from my past life as an IT consultant. Some are guests who have stayed here. I asked them for their opinions of Egypt as a tourist destination. It was very interesting to get the feedback. Interestingly the only ones concerned about safety were those that have never been here. Coming from Ealing, West London to my wonderful Luxor I have never felt so safe in all my life. Anyway these are people’s reactions.

“Egypt is magical, wonderful and amazing. Luxor Aswan and Abu Simbel will never bore you. Jane has a lovely setting with very, very nice apartments. My family and I enjoyed every minute there, especially with the nice breeze from the Nile. We took early day trips to the sites, and enjoyed calm evenings. In the afternoons we would shop; amazing artist there. The S3aedi (people of Upper Egypt) are so accommodating and we felt safe the entire time. Don’t expect New York City but do expect to experience a beautiful part of the most interesting history of the World”
“My perception of Egypt as a holiday destination? OK if you have friends there who you can rely on to show you the ropes (as I had).”
“As a holiday destination Egypt is definitely an excellent choice for value and friendliness.

Nothing is too much trouble for the Egyptian’s hospitable friendly and relaxing time is what you will get when you go to Egypt as well as lots of sunshine all year round.

Out of the whole of Egypt my most favourite place is definitely Luxor, this is what i studied in school the magic of the Valley of the Kings, Valley of the Queens it was out of this world and as ever magical as I had thought it would be.

For me, a major concern about visiting Egypt would be hygiene and sanitation, so adding comments about the style and standard of toilet/bathing facilities in the apartments (better than a French hole-in-the-floor, I'd hope) and cleanliness might help allay fears for the first-time visitor to the Middle East.”

I like that one, yes we do have western style toilets in all tourist establishments

“Always sunny, rain free and interesting food. I was only thinking about doing something in Egypt this past weekend for the Christmas period or New Year.”

“I've been to Hurghada on the red sea & thought it was fabulous.

For me (even before I went) Egypt wa/is mysterious with lots to offer. There were 3 or 4 times on our private beach that we were the only ones there. The sea was crystal clear, the hotels spotless and the one excursion to the tombs was well planned & a great day out. I think it also offers value for money, hot weather, something different, not too far away which all adds up to something quite memorable.”

“Sun, desert and history!! Could do with some of that at the moment! Sounds like you have a lot of interesting activity on the go, from your FB posts.

You might want to pick up on concepts like peaceful, security, tranquillity etc if you're aiming at the affluent rather than hard-core adventurous.”

Actually Egypt has both, it depends on where you go felucca sailing boats and desert safaris for the adventurous and all the tourist destinations like Luxor for those wanting more less adventure

“I personally think Egypt has a great deal of mystery surrounding it (in a good way) and is an aspirational destination for many around the world. I know I myself have always wanted to take my family there. I think there are some hurdles of course and they are no to dissimilar from other international destinations. Air schedules into the country, access to information about how to get around and more importantly if you want an "Authentic" experience how to find a trustworthy accommodation source outside of franchise hotels.

There are a few outliers that in my opinion could certainly be show-stoppers for consumers going to that part of the world. The deluge of reports of violence in the area regardless if it’s in Egypt in the surrounding area. I know there is growing popularity of guided tours to the area which is one way to provide a better sense of security for travellers. I am not quite sure how to message the fact the Egypt itself is not a hotbed of trouble and that there is ample opportunity for a fulfilling, memorable holiday. I believe it may reside in getting significant feedback and testimonials from others that have taken a holiday there in the past and allowing potential holiday makers read those to get a better sense of real life experiences.”

Exactly!!, if you have been here you KNOW it is safe.

“I must need to confess to you that I never been outside India and hence I don’t have any idea about Egypt as a holiday destination. But I have lot of friends who been to Egypt and they say it been a great experience. Egypt is truly a great place to visit with and pyramids are your gateway to tourists. I would love to visit /Egypt one day but not sure cos financial limitations. I am also looking for a mortgage here and I am striving hard to get a loan to pay for it. I wish you all the best and luck in your venture.”

“I visit Sharm El Sheikh regularly and have an apartment there myself. Impression is, consistent warmth and sunshine, great if you love diving - it’s superb, good standard of accommodation, plenty of bars and restaurants at reasonable prices, friendly people, easy to get to.”

“Cheap, (not euro based) good all inclusive hols, sunny, downside potential terrorist attacks higher than normal.”

Now this is one from someone in the UK who has not been here. Actually the UK has had many more terrorist attacks that Egypt has.

“I might be a little biased since I've been fascinated with ancient Egyptian history as long as I can remember!

I perceive Egypt as an incredible opportunity to visit ancient historical sites. It has the air of a "trip of a lifetime" - most people react with interest if the topic comes up. Luxor was particularly wonderful in that it has a more calm and relaxed atmosphere, but has plenty to see.

I felt reasonably safe (but then again we've lived for a bit in Iraq and Sri Lanka), but feel it is important to have reliable & knowledgeable guide(s) - such as you and your network - to take you around.”

“I'd love to visit Egypt but am fearful of going there as a destination being a young (ok I lie!) lone female... Escorted holidays are I think my only option. However, after I have been once, am sure I'd be in touch to rent out one of your apartments!”

Another one that actually needs to visit, I have loads of single ladies coming here; they have a great time and never feel worried.

Some more Luxor photos

These wonderful photos of local life in Luxor were taken by a guest staying at our Arabesque House. This is the Egyptian experience we at Flats in Luxor try to give our guests, local life happening in front of your eyes.





And lastly a beautiful picture of a sailing boat, felucca, on the Nile

Flats in Luxor New Year Party

My own photos were pathetic of the Flats in Luxor New Year Eve party but I just received these wonderful photos from a guest. In fact she took such good ones I have asked her if I can use them all. See what you think.






She also took some great photos of some of the staff

Nasser the doorman at the Arabesque House with Greg

Mohammed Garden, mainly responsible for gardens but turns his hand to anything

Ahmed our mini bus driver

Little Ahmed general dogsbody and cheeky boy

Gamal our chef, best food on the West Bank with Mahmoud who helped out as a waiter that night

And the best photo of all, the boss, Mahmoud Jahlan with Judith

Due to personal circumstances the owner of the Shu flat on the East has returned to the UK. This means this flat is now available to rent. With two bedrooms and two bathrooms it is the perfect holiday apartment and competitively priced at $60 USD a night, minimum 3 nights.




Shu is on the second balcony floor and the large lounge/dinning room opens out onto the balcony. The building is situated in a quiet road in the heart of tourist town on the East Bank and we have staff on the premises 24 hours who will help and advise you.


There is a large double bedroom with ensuite shower and toilet, a twin bedroom, family bathroom with shower, toilet, bath and sink and a fully equipped kitchen. When I say fully equipped I really mean fully equipped as the owner was a chef, there are even juicers and smoothie makers as well as a large fridge, washing machine and cooker.

Reviews of Flats in Luxor on Trip Advisor

We do get some great reviews on Trip Advisor and it is always nice to hear someone has enjoyed themselves but this one really touched me. It is so nice to be a fairy godmother.

I had been planning this trip to Egypt since I was 7 years old. Doubting that at the ripe old age of 64 I would be able physically to visit all the ancient sites that interested me, I forged ahead anyway, with fingers crossed, and set off with my 21 year old son to stay in Luxor, courtesy of Flats in Luxor.

This was a private tour with accommodation arranged with Jane and Mahmoud Akshar, the uncrowned King and Queen of Luxor! The accommodation was lovely, with tiled floors, large shower room, kitchen, very large sitting/dining room, two huge bedrooms with very comfortable beds, a large terrace and some gorgeous arabesque lamps. All the furniture had been made locally by craftsmen on the Luxor West Bank, and Mahmoud was obviously very proud of this.

We were met on time at Luxor airport. In fact for every trip we had arranged through Jane and Mahmoud the guides were spot on time. In fact the guides were marvellous, very courteous, extremely knowledgeable, patient and humorous.

On our first morning I opened the door to the terrace at 7am to be greeted by golden sunshine streaming through the palm leaves on the 40 ft date palms opposite the apartment building, and coming down the road I spotted a young lad on a donkey, having a conversation on his mobile phone.

It was also surprisingly chilly, I could see my breath on the air, and we were thankful we had followed Jane's excellent advice to bring fleeces. However, by mid morning the sun had warmed up considerably, and we passed the two weeks of our holiday in temperatures ranging in the daytime from 22 - 30 degrees.

We first of all did the Nile Sunset Felucca cruise with dinner and a visit to Banana Island. What an amazing experience. The sky and river turned blood red at sunset and we took some beautiful photos. Dinner cam onboard from a local restaurant and the food was truly delicious. Ismail our guide told us that every evening the sunset was like this.

Next trip was a two day exploration of Cairo organized by Jane and Mahmoud's colleague Walid in Cairo where we had two different guides on each day. These two fully qualified guides were very informative and they both, Shaimma and Ahmed, had a terrific sense of humour, obligatory for me and my son. We visited the Tutankhamun exhibition at the Museum (and later the Pharoah himself in his tomb in the Valley), the Pyramids (my son went inside one of them), the Citadel (which contains the original walls built by Salah Al Din) and also the Coptic Hanging Church with its amazing decorations inside and mosaic pictures outside. The final visit was tea in the famous Old Cairo bazaar, packed with intriguing shops and where we also had a good laugh at the expense of the hawkers, having learnt some interesting phrases in Arabic!

The Akshars have several properties for holiday rental. We were staying at the apartment block called "Arabesque", and about 300 yards down the road was "Goubli", which also has a swimming pool and where Gamal, (pronounced "Jamal"), the wonderful Chef de Cuisine, was based. On our first night we were too tired to walk the 300 yards, so Gamal came to us, finished off the cooking in our kitchen, served it up to us in our dining room, and even did the washing up afterwards!

Nothing was too much trouble for the dedicated team who run this enterprise. Whether it was asking Jane's advice on Egyptology, or Mahmoud to suggest and arrange a trip for us - the last one being an exciting sunset desert ride on quad bikes with Moustafa and Adam - our every wish was their command. If you mention the names of Jane and Mahmoud Akshar to anyone in Luxor you will find that they are revered and very well known indeed for the way in which they are helping local people to better lives by encouraging tourists to use local services instead of visiting Egypt via big tour operators and therefore ploughing money back into the local economy.

Mahmoud is presently building his next project, right next door to the apartments at Goubli. This is a set of new villas which are absolutely exquisite being architect designed in the Arabesque style. They are planning a swimming pool there too. Seriously thinking of jacking in all my investments and buying one for myself!!!!!

One of the most endearing features of this holiday was the way in which the local people would all smile, wave and call out to us as we sat on the terrace drinking Hibiscus tea in the evening along with a good shisha smoke. This caused some amusement amongst the locals, especially when I decided to have a go with the shisha! It was wonderful that so many of them wanted to get to know us, and we were issued countless invitations to go over to their homes and have tea with them. We were also invited into the local madrassa school at the end of our road to visit a class of 10 year olds doing an Arabic lesson. I wish the children at the school where I work could have been there too. Perhaps then they would value the education they get in the U.K. with all the fancy paraphernalia provided by the State. Over there it is wooden desks and benches, reminiscent of the 1800's in Britain, with a blackboard and chalk. Forwarned that this might happen we took with us a stack of pretty crayons and coloured biros for the children and also gave a donation to help the kids whose fathers had died and whose families therefore couldn't afford to buy the writing paper etc necessary for school life.

Both my son and I couldn't praise this trip and its organizers enough. A huge hearty "THANKYOU" to Jane and Mahmoud, Nasser (house guardian), Ismail (Boat Captain and guide), Ahmed (tour driver), Hossein, (guide), young Ahmed (cheeky-boy), Gamal (Chef de Cuisine), Mohammed (Mahmoud's right hand man), Sayeed The Taxi, Walid in Cairo, Shaimma and Ahmed our Cairo guides and all the others whose names I didn't find out. It was indeed the dream trip of a lifetime, unforgettable.

We will be back.

Party time

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to all my readers from Luxor. This year we only had 8 guests who wanted to attend the Christmas party. A lot of people coming abroad do so to get away from Christmas. Christmas in Luxor is only for tourists as the Coptic Christians here celebrate on 7th January.

Unlike the Luxor hotels we do not make our parties compulsorily but with only 8 it would have been difficult to give them a good time. So we combined with Nile Valley (which meant the guests got a reduced rate). There was a great belly dancer and Sufi or whirling dervish. The food was amazing and I got the cutest present

New Year we have 21 signed up so we are doing our own party, last year Mahmoud arranged for 10 different acts to come on during the evening, it was a fabulous time. We had it on the roof but this year we have 2 guests with mobility issues and after my op I am not sure I could make it to the roof so we are having it at ground level by the villas.

Christmas Holidays in Luxor 2009 - Closures...there are none

Luxor does not close anything for 25th December, in fact as the locals are a mixture of Muslim and Coptic Christians there is no local that celebrates anything on that day. Coptic Christians follow the old calender (also known as the Julian or Coptic calender) and celebrate Christmas 13 days later than the West which uses the Gregorian calender. Muslims whilst they revere Jesus as a prophet do not celebrate his birthday, in fact birthday celebrations are not common full stop. So there is nothing happening on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day except at tourist establishments. Hotels and restaurants seeing the demand have started offering gala dinners to their guests and decorating the buildings but do not expect anything more than that.

New Year is likewise, it is not a local holiday as the Muslim and Coptic new years fall on different dates and even then there is no tradition of celebrations. So only expect celebrations in tourist establishments.

There is no effect on site openings, indeed the sites never shut not even for Eid, the only event that does effect the sites is closing times during Ramadan. Opening times remain the same.

Report on Flats in Luxor

I have recently journeyed to Egypt with my family, for much of all of our lives we had wished to see the great wonders of the country. I had always dreamt of seeing the Luxor Necropolis and delving into the tombs, and of course, going to Giza to see the Pyramids. All of these things, and many more were made exceedingly easy and very possible with the enormous help of Jane and Mahmoud Akshar. They are a kind and engaging Anglo-Egyptian couple with a great intention for you to experience not only the fantastic sights in Egypt but also the culture and present day villages. They have a range of things you can do on their curriculum all around the West Bank; Donkey and Camel Rides up the ridge at The Valley of the Kings and to the Christian Village respectively, trips to the Valley of the Queens which includes seeing Habu Temple and the temple of Merenptah, Felucca rides down the Nile and even trips up to Cairo to see the Giza Pyramids and the Egyptian Museum and down to Aswan to see Ramses II temple at Abu Simbel. All of these trips, and many more, are available to you if you choose to stay with Flats in Luxor. Jane and Mahmoud provide a selection of guides that are local and very knowledgeable. They are kind and courteous and always arrive on the dot ready to take you on any of your trips. They also employ kind, local drivers that are always on time and can take you to any place at any time. The money you pay to Jane and Mahmoud supports the local community and the people within it. Jane or indeed Mahmoud are both reliable sources of information and always put you first so that you, the tourist, can have an enjoyable holiday.

Me and my family stayed in the Al Gezira Flats in Luxor. It was very convenient as me and my family have always wanted, where ever we go, to soak up the community and culture and so this choice of accommodation was a gift to us as you could never experience anything like the true and modern Egypt on a Nile cruise. If you just walked down the roads you would meet a vibrant array of shops providing fruit, vegetables, eggs, milk and anything you would want to self-cater. Also there are quite a few restaurants that present rich and very tasty food. You are also only a five minutes walk from the beautiful waters of the elegant River Nile and you are able to catch a motorboat or ferry over to the East Bank of Luxor.

The accommodation itself is delightful with cool air-conditioned bedrooms with soft beds, and balconies for spectacular views across the West Bank. There is also a nice pool outside that is very useful for cooling down and relaxing. All of these components, and with the fantastic help of Jane and Mahmoud Akshar contributed to an extremely fabulous holiday. And I assure you that if you want to enjoy yourself to the full and be amazed by the glorious sights go to Egypt and stay with Jane and Mahmoud Akshar in Flats in Luxor

Flats in Luxor accepts PayPal deposits

Up until recently Flats in Luxor have asked British clients for a payment direct into my bank account and overseas for their credit cards. Well I decided to upgrade my PayPal account so now Flats in Luxor can offer secure payment of deposits via PayPal. We still require the balance paid in cash on arrival especially as I have to pay commission on PayPal

Tonight I had my first payment and it worked really well, the client made the payment within 10 minutes so it was obviously easy.

Christmas and New Year 2009 in Luxor

Well I knew it was going to be busy in Luxor this Christmas when I got my first booking Christmas 2008 a whole year early. But here I am in August nearly fully booked, just as well Mahmoud keeps building. Two of the new villas are booked and we have not finished building them. I have two flats free in the Arabesque, one at Al Gezera, 2 one bedrooms on the East bank and 2 more villas and that is all.

However please don't think that means you cannot have Christmas in Luxor, we still have all our friends that we have used in the past as overflow. I must admit I never thought we would still need overflow with 20 flats and 5 villas so thank you to every that has booked with Flats in Luxor and making us a success. I must admit after a very quiet summer a busy Christmas will be a big help

Cost cutting by Luxor Tour Agents

Just checking the prices of tours on the Corniche in Luxor and noticed that the major Luxor companies have reduced the number of ticketed sites from 3 to 2. Like cutting the size of the chocolate bar and keeping the price the same.

I am pleased to sat Flats in Luxor group still offers a PRIVATE tour of up to 3 sites, English speaking guide, tickets, a/c transport and LUNCH for only $80 USD a head. We also give half priced tours for student card holders as well as children.

Villas in Luxor

We have had our hand forced and gone ahead with the Nubian Eco Village. We were leaving the land with crops but a new mains gas pipeline is being installed.


Once installed then you are not allowed to build over it so we quickly had to make a move. First we walled the land so that any work was secure.


We then got some builders from Edfu to make domed villas. We had hoped to build in mud brick but were informed that as the land was in the cultivation and with the problem of rising water this was not possible. This made perfect sense from what I have seen at the Hassan Fathy village. Where rising water is attacking the mudbrick and even installation of damp proof course and non mud foundations has not halted the rot. Although it was a disappointment as I wanted the entire construction to be of mud brick.


So if we could not use traditional materials we wanted at least the traditional style so the builder who has wide experience suggested all sorts of ideas and concepts. We are determined to use mud brick in the finish.


The decorative style of red and white bricks was a great idea and we approved that. They build the arch separately and then incorporate it into the structure. We are having domes as this keeps the building cool. He also has come up with other ideas.


Furniture is being incorporated, shelves in the bathrooms, bed platforms, cupboards all sorts are actually being built into the fabric of the building. It is really clever as well as being practical and money saving. Wood is expensive in Egypt


As we have plenty of large 3 bedroom units these villas are going to be semi detached one and two bedroom units. As ever Mahmoud is cracking on and being as we are almost fully booked for Christmas we are aiming at finishing them in time for the winter season.


Building work has really progressed and I think the graceful arches and decorative brick work are lovely. We are only doing 4 units at present and the land behind them will be left to grow vegetables. These units like all our units are available for rent or sale. Property in Luxor is really growing and the governor encourages tourism developments. The area is very popular as it is privately owned with land registry, views across the fields to the Nile and to the hills to the temple of Hatshepsut. Away from the antiquities prohibited development area and the governor has no plans for redevelopment in this area.


With our Goubli building next door with its free WiFI, communal areas, swimming pool and restaurant these units have all the conveniences as well

Jane Akshar aka Jane Ashkar

I know it is all my fault, fancy marrying a man with such an difficult name. Actually it could be a lot worse. When my late husband Ayman Akshar died I decided to keep his name as it was also the name of my daughter. Unfortunately lots of people spell it wrong Ashkar. I noticed tonight loads of entries on the net with the wrong spelling

But when I remarried my husband has this amazing name and what makes it worse his father uses two versions so I could have been Mrs Jane Mahmoud Al Azeb Abedallell Omar or Mrs Jane Mahmoud Jahlan Abedallell Omar

Doesn't Akshar suddenly seem easy

ATM on the West Bank

We have one ATM on the West Bank, it has not been there long but it is very popular. This funny photo was taken in the late afternoon with the sun shining directly on the screen. Our driver was trying to use a cushion to shade the screen, it was really difficult to see anything but we did manage in the end.

Flats in Luxor and Sail the Nile Merge

I have used PRWeb for all these releases and found them excellent. Cost effective and they get results. In fact I actually wrote to them back in July 2008 after receiving a personal telelphone call from the MD with advice and helpful tips.

"Mario Bonilla exemplifies 7* customer service, caring not just about the big corporate but the little guy as well. I am a small operation in a third world country and he made me feel like the President of General Motors. I got an unsolicited telephone call giving me advice about my press release and another personal call when I emailed with an issue with the content of my release. The advice was pertinent to the size of my operation and my abilities. I really felt I had a friend at the end of the phone. When you consider I have only released 4 press releases (so far) you have to be impressed. Has he bought my customer loyalty, you betcha."

Video of Goubli flats and our new development - the Nubian village

I just recently had a disaster when my camera stopped working for no apparent reason. Of course out here in Luxor getting a repair is nigh on impossible. There are times I wished I lived in Cairo. But my husband has kindly swapped mobiles with me, his was all singing and dancing with video and camera and mine just took calls and messages so I have done rather well out of it. It is taking ages to learn how to use it. Today was my first time trying the video. I took some of our new development the Nubian village and several of the Goubli building and two of the flats.

Just a short clip showing the new village starting life





The first is the outside and reception, with Adham in a starring role. He is one of our staff and was busy cleanign when I arrived.



The next is a detailed shot of the Mut flat and the swimming pool



Lastly a short clip of the next door Neith flat as it is a mirror image but the view is different, the Theban Hills

Overflow

Well as you have seen we have loads and loads of flats now, 20 in total so it is unlikely that we cannot provide you with accommodation but not impossible. So at really busy times like Christmas we pass business on to other landlords in the area who have flats to rent. You would still be dealt with by us under the Flats in Luxor banner and we are choosey about which flats we use. But it does mean you would always be able to find an apartment in Luxor. Search under overflow to see the various ones we have used.

Moustapha's Flat

This a new flat in our portfolio, newly completed and to a very high standard. It is situated near to the resturant Africa on the West Bank and has views of Luxor temple.

Hussein's Flat

A new addition to out portfolio. Hussein's flat is situated close to the main cross roads on the West Bank. It has an A/C bedroom and spacious lounge. Although part of the family house it does have it's own front door. Ideal for guests wanting to spend more time with local families and to brush up on their Arabic.

Exciting news for 2007 winter season, more flats at Al Gezera

Flats in Luxor have just negotiated an exclusive deal with our next door neighbour at Al Gezera to rent out his flats. The building is next to ours and is a perfectly compliment to our existing offering. The photography above shows the entrance to the original Flats in Luxor Al Gezera block on the left and this new wing straight ahead. Could not be closer.

There are three flats, Thoth, Amun and Ptah, with lovely views and balconies. The flats consist of three large double bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, kitchen and a large lounge/dining room.

The well established garden adjoins our building and we will be developing that into a shady seating area with shisha. And of course there will be access to the swimming pool and our other communal facilities.

As the Al Gezera flats are fully booked for a lot of the winter months, especially Christmas, I know this will be welcome news for some disappointed people.

Our new Arabesque House

The latest building from Flats in Luxor available for sale and rent.
