Interior Design

Karim Mekhtigian and Risa Kato of the acclaimed Cairo interior design studio, Alchemy, have been appointed to design the Finishing Specifications and the Furniture Packs for the Hilltop Village apartments. The Alchemy team has completed many prestigious design projects for style-conscious homeowners in El Gouna, throughout Egypt and internationally.

Style, luxury and quality have been the guiding principles dictating the interiors brief for the homes at Ancient Sands Resort, to ensure that they are appropriate for a truly 5 star rental management programme.

Interior Finishing Specification

Units in the Rental Management Programme

For those purchasers wishing to enter the Rental Management Programme, Alchemy have prepared three interior finishing specifications:

• Cool White
• Modern Classic
• Yacht*

The cost of these superb upgraded specifications, which include air conditioning, stunning wall and floor options and designer kitchens and bathrooms, is included in the price of your unit. Purchasers choosing to enter the Rental Management Programme will have to select one of these three options within 6 months of signature of the Sale and Purchase agreement.

Units outside the Rental Management Programme

For those buyers not participating in the Rental Management Programme, a more basic specification -"Gouna Galala" is available. Air conditioning and kitchen units are not included in this specification, but may be purchased separately.
