KEMET GUEST HOUSE — Hotel in Al Baairat Village

We had a wonderful time at Kemet House where we stayed for 4 nights. The hotel is run by a very welcoming Franco-Egyptian couple and their family, and only opened a few months ago. The house and rooms are beautifully decorated and very spacious and comfortable. There is a roof terrace for views over the city, and a lovely courtyard downstairs where delicious Egyptian breakfast is served every morning, and which is also a lovely place to sit and read with a cup of tea. On request they also can serve a delicious homemade dinner, which we did one night and would recommend! The hotel is on the West Bank, which feels a bit more relaxed and quiet than the East side, and is convenient for visiting Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut etc. From the hotel it is easy to get to the east side by public ferry which drops you at Luxor Museum (or getting one of the many boatmen around to take you across) which only takes a few minutes and is a 5min walk. For any tips or questions the owners are very attentive and helpful - they sorted a taxi for us for a day to visit the West Bank sites and put together a good itinerary and tips of which tombs to visit etc, which all worked smoothly and was very reasonably priced. Would highly recommend the place to anyone, and we will definitely try and stay here again next time we...

First and foremost stunning guest house. Beautifully decorated and styled throughout. We were welcomed with open arms by Ossama, Laurice and their beautiful family. The rooms are very spacious with the most comfortable bed, I already miss it, large bathroom and a bonus living are that opened up onto a small balcony. Room also has fridge, air conditioning and electric fan which was perfect for night time. Every morning we were treated to a huge delicious breakfast with numerous various foods. Delicious ! ! ! Staff were so friendly. Now on to the proprietors. They looked after every booking for each trip we were interested in doing which were all brilliant and went off without a hitch. Due to lost luggage on arrival into Egypt Ossama liaised with the airline /courier Company days before our arrival and once found, had our luggage delivered to the guest house. For this alone we can not thank him enough. If you plan to visit Luxor do not hesitate to stay at Kemet House…you won’t regret it.

Ossama and Laurice, thank you for your hospitality. You were truly wonderful and your guest house is a credit to you both. The very best of...

Kemet House va devenir la guest house incontournable pour un séjour à AlGezira.

Sam, Laurice et leurs 3 enfants vous accueillent au sein de leur famille franco égyptienne avec beaucoup d’attention et de bienveillance. Ils ont réussi un vrai lieu de vie et de partage, ce qui fait beaucoup de bien quand on voyage.

Ils ont créé eux-même ce projet qui a pris 5 ans de travaux. Le bâtiment est d’inspiration Riad avec une cour centrale ce qui permet les échanges et la convivialité au petit déjeuner. Cet esprit permet aussi d’avoir une privauté sur la ruelle et d’être au calme. L’architecture est belle et bien égyptienne avec de jolis détails. Chaque meuble, luminaire, objet est choisi et créé par des artisans locaux.

Les chambres sont confortables, spacieuses et la literie de qualité. Le Petit déjeuner est incroyablement bon et copieux.

Sam est guide en Égypte alors comment ne pas écouter et prendre tous ses conseils. Faites leur confiance les yeux fermés… Nous avons respecté leurs recommandations restaurants, les incontournables à visiter et le plus important le sens et les horaires de visites des attraits qu’offrent louxor. Nous voulions faire le vol en montgolfière au lever du soleil sur la vallée des rois, tout à été organisé directement et c’était un moment Magique….(conseil: demandez un max de 16 pers dans la nacelle….nous l’avons fait et étions 6…le rêve).

Je pourrais écrire tant de chose sur ces 3 jours passés à Kemet mais le mieux est de l’essayer. Nous sommes repartis un peu triste et touchés par cette belle rencontre.

Bien sûr nous reviendrons. Merci et bonne chance dans ce projet qui va vite s’envoler.

Toujours aller au bout...
