Senmut Luxory Apartments

Very spacious apartment with great Nile River views and a lovely sunny pool area. They did clothes washing very promptly and for a good price. Good location with plenty of cafes and little restaurants all within a short walk. It’s a very rustic little neighbourhood so don’t expect luxury!!

Der herzliche Empfang von Sayed und Mohammed ist immer wieder ein Erlebnis. Die Lage am Nil ist sehr schön. Das Apartment bietet alles, was man braucht. Luxor zu erkunden ist von hier aus sehr einfach. Als Fahrer empfehle ich Taha und für Felucatouren Saber. Vielen Dank an alle für die schöne Zeit. Ich komme wieder.

Located on the West Bank which is quieter than the East side - as soon as you step out of the accommodation you only have to walk a few minutes and you have stores and restaurants along the street! Very convenient. You can easily cross over to the East Bank too as there are plenty of boats available to take you there (make sure you barter for the best price as always!) Sayed and his family were wonderful to us. His property is beautiful and the apartment itself was very spacious and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. If you are looking to arrange activities in Luxor, make sure you ask him first before you book on Viator or tour groups. He is actually also a tour guide himself and will be able to help you out. My partner and I needed a driver to drive us around a few West Bank attractions e.g. Valley of the Kings, Temple of Hatshepsut etc. Sayed arranged this for us at the time we wished to leave and we had the driver for the whole morning from 6:30am - 12am at a very good price. The driver waited for us at each site and didn’t make us feel rushed or have an actual time that we had to stick to like most do when you book a private driver. This allowed us to be able to enjoy the sites we wished to see in our own time. Thank you so much for everything! Best regards to you and your family Sayed ^_^

Lots of stairs to the apartment, be aware there is no elevator. I’m recovering from a knee injury at the time of travel so for myself I found it tough sometimes to go up and down as I was relying on one leg/knee to do this. However it was my fault for not thinking about this issue so it isn’t a problem on the property itself. But if you have mobility issues just be aware of this and perhaps give it some thought before booking.

Location and TV.

There was dust in the kitchen drawers. The water pressure was too low to take a proper hot shower. There's no ventilation system in the bathroom. The WiFi was not strong enough to have a Zoom call. The apartment doesn't get much sun in the winter. Lots of small items were missing (no shower gel, saucepans or tea mugs), so cooking was a challenge. The host and the personnel are very nice , and we were surprised that the host lets his guests stay in a place like this.
