The Garden Villa

We believe that the outside living space is as important as the inside, especially for those of us from northern Europe who don't get to do much of it at home! This is why you are spoilt for choice at the Villa. There is the roof terrace, your own private balconies and verandah and also a lovely size garden. There is something for everyone - day or night.Our Villa has a good size front garden which is lovely and private. It is south East facing which is perfect for sunworshippers as part of the garden is in the sun all day. But if its shade you prefer then there are shaded places to relax in and a tented area with comfy seating.

The main locking metal gates lead onto the sandy lane next to the sugarcane fields. The lane is well lit up at night, but high heels are not recommended - even for the ladies! The driveway and path are made from local clay tiles. By night the garden is lit by terracotta lights which give out a romantic glow. If all this sounds a perfect place to end a busy day then why not let us arrange for your evening meal to be brought to you? Several excellent local restaurants offer a takeout service - just ask us and we will be happy to help. We can also help with the cold beer and wine. (Egyptian wine is surprisingly drinkable!)

Our garden is planted with lots of bouganvilla, banana trees and other traditional Egyptian herbs and flowers.Upper Egypt has been famous since the days of the Pharaohs for its beautiful terracotta pots and vases and here at Villa Bahri we have used them to decorate the roof terrace and garden.
