Nile View Villa

Welcome to Villa Al Diwan, the premier private estate in Al Aqaltah, Luxor West Bank. Our name, "Al-Diwan," stems from the local dialect meaning "a gathering place" or "coming together." Since our founding, we have been dedicated to providing a bridge between global travelers and the authentic, timeless soul of rural Egypt. Managed by a dedicated onsite team, we pride ourselves on "Oriental Refinement" combined with modern comfort. Whether it’s arranging a private chef to prepare traditional Egyptian meals or coordinating seamless travel through our partners at Luxor Travel Services, our mission is to make you feel that Villa Al Diwan is your home on the Nile.

The Heart of the West Bank

  • Unobstructed Views: A direct line of sight to the Nile River, the lush agricultural fields of the valley, and the majestic Theban Mountains.

  • Proximity to Antiquity: We are situated just minutes from the Theban Necropolis, including the Valley of the Kings, the Colossi of Memnon, and Medinet Habu.

  • Authentic Community: Staying at Villa Al Diwan means being part of a real Egyptian neighborhood, away from the commercial "tourist bubbles" of the East Bank.

Staying here felt like a gentle embrace from ancient Egypt, where every detail whispered stories of timeless beauty.

Our Story Begins Here

The story of Villa Al Diwan is written in the movement of the Nile and the cooling shadows of our limestone arches.In our local dialect, "Al-Diwan" translates to "the gathering place"—a space where time slows down, conversations linger, and the outside world fades into the background. Founded on the West Bank of Luxor, in the quiet village of Al Aqaltah, Villa Al Diwan was born from a desire to create a sanctuary that honors the architectural heritage of Upper Egypt while providing a soulful home for the modern wanderer.
