Thank you so much for this very special Christmas 2011!

Anntonette and familly offer an affordable ,comfortable , clean and relaxing sanctury much needed after the hustle and bustle of luxor . Located on the west bank your ideally placed for visiting the valley of the kings , and other tombs and temples. The nile and luxor are only a 5 minute taxi ride away . Initially it seems [after a good half hour taxi ride from the airport] that your miles from anywhere -but your not . We were welcomed with open arms into this hidden paradise and immediatly felt at home . The rooms are simply and lovinly furished some with domed roofs and nice big bathrooms. Breakfasts are fantastic [flat breads,cheese,fruit salads and yoghert, pancakes omlettes, ect].Evening meals are provided if requested and are superb , on several occasions we ate with other guests which was nice and social and a good oppertunity to discuss the days adventures. Eygpt is a fasinating country and we would definatly visit again and stay here

Antoinette and Tony have built a fantastic place for sightseeing and relaxing. Built on the west side of the river, it is an ideal place to take in sightseeing in the Theban necropolis before retiring in the garden for some refreshing mint tea. Antoinette and Tony are very knowledgeable in ancient Egyptian so have a few conversations with them!

Rooms will cost between 200 - 300 EGP per night depending on the size.

Easily accessible from main Luxor, it's a 1 Egyptian pound public ferry ride and 10 Egyptian pound taxi from the dock to the hotel. If the taxi drivers give you any hassle, be stern and aggressive with them (as in most areas of Egypt) and they will back off!

We ate all our meals here. 65- 75 Egyptian pounds for a full Egyptian flavoured meal including soups, salads, rice and tagines. Much better value than the restaurants in Luxor and much more tasty!

It was a pleasure staying at Flower of Light during our 4 days/5 nights in Luxor. It's a wonderful family-run hotel that has gorgeous dome rooms with huge bathrooms, a lovely pool surrounding by a beautiful garden and a fantastic cook. This was our first time in Luxor, so we did a lot of exhausting sightseeing. Coming back to Flower of Light each day was a the perfect was to rejuevenate ourselves and regain our energy. The location is unusual, out near the Valley of the Kings. You have to take a taxi to get to the river and the ferry to the East bank, however it was always easy, they just called us a taxi to pick us up right out front. I preferred being away from the town anyway because people constantly hassle you there. West Bank sights are close to the hotel which was very convenient. Antoinette and Donnie were friendly and attentive hosts who had lots of great advice for sightseeing around Luxor and even for visiting Abydos and the Pyramids. They really went out of their way to help us have the best possible experience in Luxor and for the rest of our time in Egypt. I can't wait to return!
