Aswan Nubian House

Thank you Saed!

Pros: 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

Pros: I got well taken care of by the hosts with everything i needed and stayed in a beautiful room on toproof with a nice coach outside where you could feel the wind, smell the nile and also have a view of it.

Pros: Great welcome. Saiid very relaxed and helpful. Ask him to organise an hour or two on a felucca - we did, with a lovely pilot, who was the perfect host. Very relaxed and let us have our space.

Pros: Awsan nubian House was our best hotel in whole our trip in Égypte , very nice place, very quiet and Saïd the owner is super friendly and humble person. For sur we ll come back again

the perfect stay in Aswan

Pros: An extraordinary place in Aswan! Located on the Elephantine island, where you can discover traditional Nubian life in the village, with a beautiful terrace and view on the Nile. The room is comfortable and clean and the service is perfect. We got served a delicious breakfast (bread, eggs, jam, cheese, juice, coffee...) every morning. Lunch and dinner is available on request. The owner can organise other tours for you as well. Our highlight was a falouka (sailing boat) ride in the sunset. I can only recommend staying here. You will spend the most relaxing time, no noise or cars around, fresh air and the most friendly people. The hosts Said and Hamed will be there for you to give you a memorable time you'll never forget!

I spent a more than wonderful vacation on this site and with these people.

Pros: The location is more than wonderful for those who want to relax, calm and enjoy the beauty of nature I thank those in charge of the administration for the warm reception and hospitality Staying in this place is an experience that deserves to be repeated more than once

Exceptional

Pros: Amazing Rooftop View :) Owners are super friendly, going above and beyond to help you with everything you need. They helped us organize some trips as well. We had great conversations and organized a nice traditional meal. 100% recommend

Pros: Said was really nice and helpful. The place is very traditional but really beautiful with a great view. Really calm and peaceful place

Cons: Because it is in a island you have to take the ferry every time but is really easy and not expensive.

Pros: Very rustic...million dollar view, peaceful location such a down to earth village...like stepping back i time. Close to museum and archaeological site. Host was super lovely..Very hospitable Was the perfect stay

Pros: The place is lovely, on the west bank of Elefantine Island, very quiet and with a wonderful view on the Nile and Kitchener Island. Room and bed ok, clean enough, cozy and with good storage space. Beautiful terrace in front of the room, where we could chill and relax and where breakfast was served. Said was smily and helpful, and his brother Hamid provided an excellent driver (thanks Hamza!) for Philae Temple and airport at what felt a correct price. Said also organized a lovely feluca ride on the Nile at sunset for us. Wifi working perfectly.

Cons: Bathroom very small, and drain not working properly, so it would basically flood with any shower. Room was quite dark, and the fact that one of the two lamps broke immediately after we arrived didn't help. Breakfasts quality varied quite a lot, the first day was just cheese and bread, on the last day it was more pleasant with also eggs and excellent felafel. One day breakfast was more than 30 minutes late. Maybe it was a miscommunication from us, but if you have a tight schedule it can become a problem. This isn't a negative, just a warning to fellow tight schedulers: you're on an island, going anywhere requires to use the ferry, which can become a 30 minutes wait if you miss it just as it leaves. Keep a margin for everything! If you ask for the price of - well, anything the first offer will be quite ridicolously high. We didn't bother to haggle and bargain, but in the end we always were able to find alternatives at a way better price than the one offered.
