We had a lovely stay in Aswan thanks to Muhammed and his family! The apartment was spacious, clean, and overall excellent value for money Elephantine island is calm and relaxing, and the view of the dunes and the Nile from the hostel is absolutely gorgeous. The staff were incredibly attentive and always available to help. They arranged several day trips for us, which made everything completely stress-free. We especially loved the sunset felucca ride and our wonderful boat captains :) A special thank you to Hassan for taking us to the other side of the river early in the morning! We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Aswan 🌞

“Authentic experience on the Nile bank”
An authentic Nubian riverside home. Clean, tidy, and cozy, with a rooftop terrace offering stunning views of the Nile. All around is silence and a real Nubian village, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Good value for the money.

“Lovely staff & Panoramic Views”
Mohamed and the staff are really lovely, friendly & helpful. Once we arrived after a long journey from Abu Simbel, the smile of Mohamed directly warmed up our heart and we felt very welcomed. The rooftop terrace offers a beautiful view over the Nile. The room was very spacious. Food options were decent.

The facilities were clean and had Nubian vibes all around. The manager, Muhammad, was friendly and gave us suggestions and helped us in booking cars to travel to Abu Simbel and later to Luxor. The apartment met our needs and the view of the Nile River was fantastic. The guest house provided free ferry rides while checking in and checking out to the main island.

The location was superb. Really quiet with great views. The staff were absolutely amazing too including the drivers and boat captains who took us to Abu Simbel, Luxor and Nubian village. The boat rides were the highlights with lovely wildlife and sunset views. Both Mohammad and his kids have made a place for themselves in ours hearts with heir big smiles and hospitality.

Very good location on the quiet side of the island, 5min to the ferry. Very good contact with the personel, always helpful and available, helped us book trip to Abu Simbel and transfer to Luxor. Clean apartment and warm at night. Kitchen annex could have some more utensils but overall was ok.

We couldn't have hoped for a better place to stay! The apartment was great and the rooftop is amazing. Mustafa and Mohammed were exceptionally kind and welcoming, showing us around Elephantine. Would absolutely recommend and hope to return one day!
