This principally included showering and cleaning donkeys, mules and horses to prevent pressure sores... More

A mere 5-10 mins drive from the sheraton or hilton hotels (and from other hotels) and not far from the train station- a must to visit as truly inspirational. Set back from the road - a reddish building with cuppolas. I had visited the Brook centre- another charity also set up originally by a now deceased english lady- in Luxor... More

I went to ace last year and I was amazed to see the fantastic work everyone was doing. Everyone was so friendly and it really does put your mind at ease to see how much they help the animals in Egypt. Cannot praise ace enough and is well worth a visit. Keep up the good work! More

As an English veterinary nurse I was very keen to go and look around ACE and found myself very pleasantly surprised. It is big and clean and has fantastic facilities - from a classroom to educate local children, to consulting rooms that could have been from the practice I work at in London, to simple showers for local people to...

Visiting ACE is a great experience. It's something different, and it's so great to see people with such commitment working to try and change something they care about. It also highlights so many cultural differences - the way Egyptian people think about and care for their animals and why they treat them the way they do. We were shown around... More

When visiting Luxor we always make a trip out to ACE to see the staff there, and the inmates, and take the goods we have been collecting since the last time we visited. It may seem an unlikely tourist attraction, and don't worry you are not going to be subjected to horrific sights. Its a lovely centre, the staff are... More

One of the very best ways to spend your time in Luxor! We hired a horse taxi and had him take us to ACE. The driver had his animal treated to some much needed water and a check-up during our visit. Some of the harm that people inflict on their animals is truly heart-breaking and done in ignorance. This is... More

Very clean and good for animals! I brought them stuff they need, like ducktape and gloves. It feels good when you can help animals who need your help! More
