Beautiful 5 bedroom domed villa, Nile view, perfectly situated for antiquities

About Christopher and Pamela Morgan

We live in South West London but have been involved with the Luxor West Bank for the last 14 years, working with our local partner and manager, Khyry. Together we studied some of the designs of Hassan Fahty, the Egyptian architect famed for his domed buildings and we were able to engage the son of one of his team, who had learned the craft from his father. We also visited a number of older local buildings for inspiration on internal floor patterns and other features. Most of the brickwork, all the ornamental ironwork and the woodwork, including doors and furniture were made locally.visited a number of older local buildings for inspiration on internal floor patterns and other features.

Khyry has a wealth of local knowledge and contacts, and this joint enterprise could never have been achieved without him. Together, we now have a team which excels in providing an individualised and memorable holiday experience.

Why Christopher and Pamela Morgan chose Luxor

As well as the Valleys of the Kings, Queens and Nobles, (all easily reached by road from your villa) our motor launch can take you to the East Bank to the stupendous temple at Karnak, with an English, French or German speaking guide if you wish, perhaps stopping off on the way back at the exquisite Luxor Museum or Luxor Temple. You will also have opportunities to visit local villages (by donkey, camel, car or on foot) and see something of life unchanged for centuries and to experience sunsets from the desert or from a felucca on the Nile; visit the house of Howard Carter, who discovered the tomb of Tutenkamun, as well as other monuments off the beaten track, where discoveries are still being made today. After an active day there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy a meal at a number of local restaurants. You may, of course, just want to relax in the sunshine and gaze at the views from the roof terrace, and perhaps end the day with a barbecue under the stars. You can even spend part of your holiday in the luxurious two-masted Dahabya, Queen Tiy, ranging from an overnight stay at its mooring on the West Bank to a five-day sail along the Nile.

What makes this Villa unique

For independent travellers, we believe we offer a wonderfully unique experience of the Luxor area and provide a great deal more than any packaged holiday for a very reasonable price. Khyry is a licensed Egyptian Guide, with the use of a taxi and a large minibus, as well as a large motor launch for transportation wherever required. He will be there to meet you at the airport and he and his team will ensure that you are looked after throughout your stay. For stays of 5 nights or more, they will offer you a full Egyptian breakfast your first morning, during which you can discuss how you might want to spend your time. The choices are wide: there is so much to see in this unique World Heritage Site, said to be the greatest open-air museum in the World. Whatever you decide to do, we promise you an unforgettable time free from the constraints of a package tour.
