Aswan Nubian House♡

Incredible hospitality! 100% recommended!

10.0

I was travelling with a female friend and we were just blown away with the incredible hospitality we received from Said and his brothers, Hamed and Adel. Our stay was so relaxing and despite arriving quite late, Said was so accommodating and made us a snack after a long day of travel. Elephantine island is beautiful and quiet, and the ferry is not a problem to take back to the mainland. I honestly can't say enough good things about this family, Hamed helped us organize a tour to Abu Simbel and a Nile cruise and the price we paid was significantly less than what we were expecting. He helped us make the connection to the cruise after the tour ran a little late. They are building a new hotel next to this location and I would 100% stay with them again if I were to return to Aswan.

− We stayed in the upstairs room and the bathroom walls don't quite reach the ceiling so if you need some "privacy", someone will have to step out of the room. This wasn't a problem for us as they have a lovely patio to hang out on!

La petite terrasse avec vue partielle sur le Nil, l'emplacement, le côté plus authentique qu'un hôtel traditionnel.

− Pas de porte aux toilettes mais un simple rideau, douche au-dessus des toilettes et la vue sur le Nil est en partie cachée par des maisons qui viennent d'être construites devant la guest house (mais cette famille va régler le problème en ouvrant dans quelques mois une autre guest house tout à côté et la vue sera superbe !)

Good for young people

Said was very nice, offered us multiple activities. Nice location on Elephantine Island, right next to the Nile!

− The bathroom is very rudimentary.

Thank you Saed!

We had a wonderful stay at Aswan Nubian House! The manager, Saed, was incredibly helpful and made our trip unforgettable. He arranged a fantastic excursion to Abu Simbel, a transfer to Luxor with stops in Kom Ombo and Edfu, and even organized a relaxing felucca ride for us. Our room was air-conditioned and comfortable, and the guesthouse features a lovely rooftop with a view of the Nile, as well as access to a shared kitchen. The location is ideal — just a few meters from the Elephantine Island ferry dock, making it easy to get to and from the mainland. We truly appreciated Saed’s warm welcome, availability, and attention to detail. Highly recommended! We’ll definitely come back. +++ for Saed and the whole experience

Basic accommodation with external shared shower and toilet facilities. Very weak or no Wi-Fi at all.

Sa'eed was nice and helpful. I had breakfast on the roof terrace, where a nice view opened to Agha Khan Mausoleum, the Botanical (Kitchener) Island and the elephant-shaped rocks along the banks. The house is on the west side of the island, while public ferry from the mainland arrives on the eastern side, from where the accommodation can be reached by a ten to fifteen minutes' walk.

− Location was hard to find, I asked locals who could not understand English at all. Eventually I found one who phoned him, then Sa'eed turned up and led me there.
