Luxor – Gistihús

Catherine Kanada

We loved our time at the property. Mohamed and his family were incredibly welcoming. They are truely amazing hosts and will make you feel right at home. The flat was very clean, the pool wonderful. The location on the west bank is really perfect: 15 min walk to the ferry (only 10EGP) and you are in Luxor centre, while the Valley of the Kings and other west bank attractions are a short drive away.

I am a female solotraveler and I have been so comfortable and happy in Oasis. For the first 3 days I stayed in a place directly on the Nile but there was a high tourist turnover and noise of the boats on the Nile, so I needed a silent place, after reading the reviews I booked one night here and extended my stay! So I am writing this from the terrace. :) What I love here most is the peaceful athmosphere with chirping birds and the soothing sound of the pool water when they run it. I absolutely love my small room, with a big bed, beautiful window and pretty modern white furniture. The entire place is super clean, Hasan is always around cleaning somewhere and available with his nice smile. Laundry is available, too and they offer tea all day long. Wi-fi is fast, if you are a remote worker that is great. Good food, safe family environment and just one block next to the cafes on the riverside without the hustle of the Nile River, what to look for more. Summary: I definitely recommend this place.

Everything about the Pharaonic Rose was perfect. I spent some of the happiest days of my life in Luxor thanks in no small part to the Pharaonic Rose. They have a rooftop with a view of the cliffs and Medinet Habu. The seating area downstairs is shady and in an oasis of a garden. It's very close to Medinet Habu, but far enough away that it is very quiet. It was so nice to have a quiet and peaceful place to return to after the bustle of the tourist areas. The food was amazing. They would just pile heaps of delicious food in front of you. The breakfast was the best I had in Egypt and they can prepare lunch and dinner for you as well. They also organized very affordable transportation for reaching different sites in the area. The family that runs the Pharaonic Rose is extremely kind and welcoming. By the end of the stay I felt like part of the family and the Pharaonic Rose felt like home. To get all that for such a reasonable price is unbelievable! It was truly a once in a lifetime experience. If you are going to Luxor, stay here.

This hotel is one above the rest. My mother and I only spent a day in Luxor, and expected to simply sleep, wake up and leave for the day, but never did I expect that the accommodation would somehow be the highlight of our time in Luxor. The host is one of the kindest people I've ever met. Upon arrival, he personally showed us around the whole property, enjoyed a wine on the rooftop at night with a gorgeous view of the Nile, and spoke about his life and what to expect in Luxor. The host is an archaeologist and Egyptologist so he is the one to talk to. He recommended some fantastic sights in the area and his input was invaluable. The rooms were just what we were after and were great for the price, especially just for a night. I would have no issue coming back again.

We spent 3 nights at Fayeb and his family and felt treated like family members - and more! Large, clean rooms, A/C, silence, stunning architecture and the best food (breakfast & dinner) we had during our trip to Egypt. After arriving very late on the first night and having a DELICIOUS dinner, we didn’t think twice to have all dinners at the guesthouse. It was cozy, delicious, home-made and honestly the BEST. Fayeb and his family really take care of their guests and pets, which we loved as this is not common in Egypt. We hope to visit again soon ❤️

Our stay at Yasmine Guest House was truly amazing. From our arrival, Nasser (the host) took care of us for everything. We didn't really know what to expect (I was with my sister), but he helped us a lot and was such a good host. He cooked for us, for breakfast and dinner, and his cooking was so delicious ! We had different kind of eggs every morning, because Nasser cared to give us a unique and special experience (which we for sure had). Also what you should know, is that they are working as a family crew there. And they're all such nice people. Nasser arranged for us every day with some guides from his crew, which I really recommend to do if you want to visit around. If you're visiting on your own, you really won't discover so much. The guides we had (Bahaa and Hamdi) were archeologists, really experimented and passionate about their work, + they were arranging the whole day for us. Most important, we really had fun with them, and create a real connexion. About the house, it is really like the pictures (which is not the case everywhere), so we appreciated. We didn't try the swimming pool, but it should be really enjoyable during summer. It is a quiet but warm place, where you can meet some other groups of people. It's up to you if you want to enjoy the night with them at the house. In the end, I recommend it 100% !

I booked it just a day before my trip to Luxor, it was done in bit of a hurry but the cleanness got my eyes even though it didn’t have any reviews yet. It seemed just opened and I booked it and was a great decision. I arrived Luxor at almost 11pm and didn’t know that Uber isn’t so useful in this city, thankfully the host asked me if I need a pick-up in timely manner and I asked one, they were waiting for me at the very late time (the car was very old; from 1978 😅, but was fun experience overall) and was able to arrive safe and sound. The host was very proud of the brand new facility and I could see why, even though it’s not the ones like from the fanciest countries but I think it’s way better than the other expensive and old accommodations. And since I was planning to cram all the site-seeing in a day, I needed a car. And even though I didn’t do much research on what’s the fare fees for getting around especially in Luxor, after 6days in Egypt, kind of had a sense what’s too much and what’s not, and the host offered me an relatively reasonable price for the driver for west back and east bank, with felucca included. And the driver Mr. Mohamed was a nice elderly but with a good spirit and gave me some good introductions on the way to the sites. I guess it’s inevitable that even nicest people I met here also sometimes have to ask something more at the end (that has been happened all the time while I was staying in Egypt), but they never mean bad, all kind and genuine, and that really made me thankful for making my hectic day so wonderful and truly unforgettable.
