Located at the entrance to the Valley of the Kings, howard Carters house is both interesting and charming. Period furniture along with Carter's own possessions and diaries have been used to reconstruct his home. Favourites were his study, darkroom and his dog Susie's house. Cafe wasn't open when we were there. Even our 13 year old son enjoyed it. Well... More

Howard Carter's House should be on everyone's wish list. A beautiful and surprisingly large adobe house built on the west bank, it is a refreshing haven from the hot sun and the baking tombs. You really get a feel for Howard Carter the man as you wander through his kitchen (all mod cons,even a fridge!} and his study, darkroom and... More

It is a house that gives you a feel for what it was like for him to work when he was looking for the tombs. A knowledgable man kind of followed us round pointing out lots of things of interest. Well worth a visit and only £2 for adults and £1 for kids which is strangely underpriced in this wold!

Those five minutes were... More

What a lovely trip. It waqs like stepping back in time. Beautifulo gardens surround the house and our guide was very informative.

We have been to Luxor several times and hence had a private tour which took in the house. It looks as though Howard Carter is still living there with period furniture and letters and drawings on the desk. It was a cool oasis for us as well, the traditional domed building stays remarkably cool. Interesting and informative display in the... More
