Pros: The nubian village location was authentic and the host was welcoming and friendly. He could arrange anything for you and helped me get a bus to Luxor. Breakfast was substantial but when I said I don't have chips I was given a different breakfast the next day. Lovely views from the rooftop for sunset and where you have your breakfast. I also had an evening meal of roast chicken which was lovely.
Cons: Nothing really but you are near a mosque and rural area so go with the flow of call to prayer and birdsongs along with some dog barking

Pros: The location is ideal, being close to the city centre but away from the hustle and bustle, and enjoying a rural atmosphere with a backdrop of mountains and desert. It's also near one of Aswan's most important attractions, Quba el-Hawa. As for the accommodation, the room is new and larger than the pictures on booking. The furniture is new, everything works, and the bed is comfortable. There's an elevator, and the view from the rooftop is panoramic, overlooking the Nile, desert, and Quba el-Hawa. The breakfast is simple but has a rural touch, and a drink of your choice is included. Mr. Tamer, the owner of the house, adds a warm atmosphere of hospitality

Excellent
Pros: Our stay at Nuba Heart was truly exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the hosts made us feel completely at home with their warm hospitality. The homemade food was absolutely delicious, adding a personal and authentic touch to our experience. Located in the heart of the oldest Nubian village, the guest house is just a short 5–7 minute walk from the ferry port and the main city can be reached in 10 min by a boat. The facilities were excellent, and every detail contributed to a comfortable and welcoming stay.
Cons: We liked everything

Pros: Lovely clean accomodation on the West Bank of the Nile. Quiet and peaceful. Tamer was a great host and very attentive to all our needs. We organised our tours with him to Abu Simbel (27€/1550EGP per person), airport transfer (approximately 9€/515EGP altogether), and transfer to Luxor with stops at Kom Ombo and Edfu along the way (35€/2000EGP per person). You can purchase dinner at the accomodation for $6USD/300EGP per dish.
Cons: The taxi driver that was arranged for us to Luxor became aggressive when dropping us off - demanding tips and then getting very angry saying that what we gave wasn’t enough (a common occurrence for tourists in Egypt sadly). Thankfully, the staff at our new hotel were present to calm the situation.

Pros: The staff they were super kind, help me with everything. The room is quite big and clean. The location on the west bank, what for me was more interesting, is a small village, relax place and great view for Nile and the city. Super easy to go to the city by ferry boat, 10 Egyptian pounds, super cheap, working all day

Pros: If you want to live the Nuba tradition and kindness, this is the place to visit! Picturesque place, next to beautiful mountain that you can visit by camels or on foot, 7 min away from the ferry that takes you to louder and more crowded places! We were walking around the village and everyone was so friendly and wanted to help us!
Cons: Everything great

Nuba Heart is a friendly and relaxed home away from home, exceptional value.
Pros: This property is located right at the heart of a Nubian Village on the West Bank of Aswan, just 5 minutes walk to the local ferry that will take you across to Aswan and 5 minutes to the fascinating tombs at Qubbet el-Hawa. The property was spotless, the host welcoming, and the atmosphere relaxed and friendly. The breakfast was exceptional and whilst I was there I also had two amazing dinners on the rooftop with Nile and tomb views. The hosts could not have done more, whilst still giving me space to explore and enjoy time on my own. It really did feel like staying with a local family who went out of their way to make sure you had everything you need. You could not ask for better value for money.
Cons: Honestly, for the price I could not pick fault. Exceptional value.
