Accueil exceptionnel de Taieb; beaucoup de souplesse et de sourire. Sa femme concocte en cuisine, avec beaucoup de plaisir, des plats bons et variés. Qui plus est, le cadre est magnifique (architecture nubienne).

Place was closed, no refunds given, total scam, left us stranded in Luxor

We spent 3 nights at Fayeb and his family and felt treated like family members - and more! Large, clean rooms, A/C, silence, stunning architecture and the best food (breakfast & dinner) we had during our trip to Egypt. After arriving very late on the first night and having a DELICIOUS dinner, we didn’t think twice to have all dinners at the guesthouse. It was cozy, delicious, home-made and honestly the BEST. Fayeb and his family really take care of their guests and pets, which we loved as this is not common in Egypt. We hope to visit again soon ❤️

N/A

Tayeb as we say in arabic is a name truly given to the owner of this house, meaning he is genuinely the nicest host we have met. The service and accommodation was beyond what we expected from the cleanliness, hospitality and overall needs. Tayeb and his wife were very helpful when needed and breakfast time felt like we were sitting in our family home. The decor and overall atmosphere made us want to cancel the rest of our activities just so we can spend more time in the guest house. The room as good running cold & hot water, very good AC and very clean. I would recommend to bring your own towel just for personal hygiene but it is still veryyyy clean. We traveled as 2 females friends and we felt extremely safe in a new and remote place which is rare in this day an age. If you are ever visiting Luxor make The Scorpion House your home. It is super close to all the activities in the West Bank (by car) : Valley of the kings (5min), Valley of the queens (8min), Hot Air Ballon (10min), Quad Bike Safari (10min). So you definitely get that extra rest and is the last too get pick up and first to get dropped off from your activity. It is also only a 15min drive to the Nile where you can enjoy dinner by the Nile so definitely not that far and highly recommend. Thank you again Tayeb and hope to visit you soon.

Honestly nothing at the location made us uncomfortable or not want to come back. The only note to take is if you are not fond of animals or pets, Mr Tayeb does keep pigeons and chickens outside the home so the rooster might awake you by dawn but then again you have to be up bring an early to enjoy the activities in Luxor.

Beautiful authentic house and most welcoming and attentive host. Our favorite stay in Egypt was in this hotel.

My wife and I love to travel and we concurred that this has been - simply put - one of the best places we have ever stayed in! Warm hospitality is often not found in big, luxury hotels, but in someone's home. Tastefully built, designed and decorated by the owner, Tayeeb, himself and his fellow archaelogist friends based on traditional Nubian architecture. It was a haven where one could relax and escape from the hustle and bustle in Luxor. We felt so welcomed by Tayeeb and his wife, Doaa, as well as their dog and kitten, waking up everyday to the chirping of the birds and crowing of the roosters. We felt right at home during our short stay there. We also organised drivers and tours through the hotel and were very happy both with the received services and the very fair prices which were far better than anything that is offered on the street (yes, I know you can haggle, but it's much nicer to start with honest prices to begin with!). And I haven't even talked about the food: we enjoyed the food so much that we actually opted to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner at the guesthouse whenever our schedule allowed it. Thank you, for all the delicious local dishes that you have cooked for us, the kind of food that you cannot find in any restaurant in the whole of Egypt! Every dish is full of flavours and you can taste the love and effort that go into cooking them.

Beautiful man running this beautiful house of inspiration, good vibrations, deep knowledge and Singer curiosity. Big heart
