Shahaina - Nileview authentic mudbrick farmNEW

Shahaina Guesthouse is set in a typical egyptian farm built in mudbricks (adobe) right on the Nile shore, enjoying a breathtaking view on the river and Theban mountains. Located on the east bank, it is 10 minutes from the great temple of Karnak, north of Luxor, an oasis of calm in a small Egyptian village untouched by mass tourism, a real experience of egyptian life.

Carefully renovated, the house is simple yet warm and comfortable. You can relax in the indoor garden or different lounge areas, even climb on the rooftop for a marvellous panoramic view.

The large double bedroom looks directly on the Nile and the banana fields nearby. It has a warm and cosy feeling with soft ligts and fabrics.
The bathroom with shower is shared, towels and hairdryer are provided.

Breakfast is included. On request, we can also prepare a typical dinner (not included in the price), or direct you to some good restaurants.

I am living in Luxor, were I work as a conservator in Karnak Temple with a French research center. I would thus be able to help you organize your visits in Luxor, easily accessible with the public network of microbus or by taxi. Afterward, you can easily cross the Nile to visit the tombs and funerary temples on the west bank.
Luxor is also ideally situated to further visit Upper Egypt (They are trains to Aswan living every hour, and a boat for Dendera every tuesday. Otherwise cars can be arranged)

I look forward to share a piece of Egyptian life with you.
