ABU Nubian Guest House

Pros: Great hospitality, great location, breakfast was delicious, i traveled with friends and Abu arranged trip to Abu Simbel for us, from pick up in the return everithing was perfect. You have free and private sauna. There is also option to pay (not much) for massage. I would recommend Abu guesthouse to anyone who comes to Asuan.

Cons: Everything was great

Pros: Abu was an incredible host and his hospitality was some of the best we’ve ever experienced. The guesthouse is situated on Elephantine Island, which is a quiet and relaxing location just a short ferry ride from the chaos of Aswan city centre. The property has a lovely rooftop to relax upon and this is also where breakfast is served. The food at the guesthouse is delicious, we had breakfast there every day and also ate for dinner there. The rooms are very well equipped and we even got an upgrade which was much appreciated. Abu and his family went above and beyond and made our stay very memorable indeed.

Pros: Very quiet place, fresh & clean, Abu is a great host, he always will help you on daily trip tour, variety breakfast, free sauna soon, feel home easily ... Many thanks for the team

Pros: Abu is very nice and helpful, making our stay wonderful, he helped us with our trip a lot. The restaurant is also really good and the meal is bio from his own garden. The room is clean and comfortable.

Pros: Abu is a great host, he took me from the other side to the island and offered a sunset nile tour for free. The hostel is well decorated, the room is very clean and looks so new. Staff are very polite. Bathroom is very clean, the hot water was amazing

Cons: Nothing about the place itself but the island doesn't have much to see but it's very easy to reach the main area of aswan tbh

10 stars!!

Pros: The owner of the guest house is truly exceptional — very friendly, welcoming, and genuinely hospitable. If you’re looking for an authentic experience on a fantastic island with absolutely stunning views, Abu’s guest house is the perfect choice. He’s always ready to help with anything you need, and he even offers free laundry service. His whole family is just as kind, making you feel at home from the very first moment.

Great rooms and elephantine island is the best place to stay in Aswan

Pros: Nice, quiet and relaxed place to stay away from the bustle of the mainland. Always felt safe and no one hassling you. Ferry very cheap. Nice restaurants on the island, especially King Jamaica.

Cons: The winding streets get a bit of getting used to especially when dark at night, but easy if you have google maps working.
