Gamandy is a piece of our family’s story. This land once belonged to our grandfather, who gathered his loved ones here every week. Around a tableya — the traditional round table — with the smell of bread baking in the mud oven and the sound of Rababa music in the background, he shared food, laughter, and stories with family and friends. Those memories live in every corner of Gamandy. Today, we’ve turned this into a hospitality service that welcomes travelers from all over the world. Here, guests are invited to live the simple, beautiful life of Luxor’s countryside: baking shamsy bread the old way, milking cows and making cheese, picking fruits and vegetables from the farm, strolling through the village, drinking tea by a bonfire, listening to local musicians, and sleeping in cozy mudbrick rooms surrounded by nature.
Gamandy is far from a usual hotel. You come here to feel warmth, live the raw life of locals, and step back to a time before phones — free of distractions, full of connection, and rich with life.
