Nubian Queen Guest House

Pros: Very nice owner, Simple, cozy and clean room. The Elephantine Island is autentic and safe place full od nice Nubian people.

Cons: N/A

Pros: The place is clean and new (in 2025). Shower water is hot and strong. Wifi is good and stable.

A good stay on this Island

Pros: The host is absolutely amazing, she helps us to arrange tours and the place is clean. You can have a nice view from the rooftop. She gives us free breakfast and lovely necklance on our check out day. If you arrive, please WhatsApp her in advance so that someone gonna check you in.

Cons: Everything is good except the boat tour arrangement to Philae Temple, the boat captain tried to persuade us to give him cash and gave us an old ticket. We insisted to go to the ticket office which made him not happy after all. It is not pleasant and I recommend people not to do that.

Pros: owner was nice, she prepared a small gift for me before i left, however i got woke up at 6am as she did not have the key to enter the premises. It is great to get out of the busy city since there was no car in the elephantine island.

Cons: A tad expensive for Egypt prices, As mentioned by other comments, was not given top cover, towel and toilet roll. However, it was provided upon request. Would be nice if it's already there during the stay

Warm hospitality of the owner, the island has a great atmosphere!

Pros: There are 2 public boat ramps on the island, and the guesthouse is a 3min walk from the northern one. The room was clean and there was always a hot shower. The owner was very kind and gave me a handmade necklace for me. I checked out very early in the morning but she came with me to the boat ramp to see me off. Thank you!

Cons: I stayed here for 2 nights, but the internet didn’t work for one day.

A very pleasant stay!

Pros: The host and her son are very kind. The room is big, tidy and clean. Location is nice and quiet. Shower water is hot and strong. Wifi is good and stable.

Cons: Was not very easy to get in touch with the host before the stay. The house was under construction when I was there.

Perfect place to stay on the Elephantine Island

Pros: Kind host and very clean rooms on the beautiful Elephantine Island.

Pros: Clean place, close to ferry. The lady speaks good English

Cons: I liked everything

Pros: Everything about our stay here was amazing. It's a new building, very clean and with great rooms and facilities. Also it is in an excellent location. However, the highlight of our stay was the owner. An incredibly nice lady who made sure we were always comfortable and the meal she prepared us was one of our favourites in 6 months of travel around the world. Would definitely stay again!

Simply Great!

Pros: We had a great time at the Nubian Queen Guest House! Allthough we booked on very short notice, erverything was ready for us. The host was very kind. She offered good advice for our future plans in Assuan and booked our trip to Abu Simbel. In the evening, she prepared a very delicios Dinner at the Nile. She took great care to prepare us a variety of traditional nubian dishes and a tasty egyptian tee and a incredible cold hibiscustee. The room is newly build and has a modern and quiet AC. The bathroom, allthough build egyptian style, is new and clean The guesthouse is located on the elephantine island. A calm and relaxing enviroment with a very friendly and helpfull neighborhood. The Island itself can be reached by public ferry next to a KFC for 10 EGP at the time. Overall we had a great time. I would always book again! A clear recomendation!

Cons: The Wifi didnt have connection to the Internet at the time The pillow a little bit big. Thats all.
