“Colourful family vibes”

What an incredible experience - i felt like I was coming home to my Nubian family!! Fatima looked after me so well with delicious breakfasts and dinner, and Mohammed became my driver for the entire time I was in Aswan, like my auntie and uncle! In addition, the place is an explosion of colour and happiness, perfect for an artist like me. Its a bit more of a local spot which makes it more peaceful also, I didn't want to leave. You will love it, trust me <3

Fatima and Muhammad are excellent host and eager to help with everything! We arrived late at night and Muhammad came to pick us up at a very reasonable cost. They organise tour to Philae also at a very reasonable cost and very smooth trip without the need to negotiate the boat. The breakfast is very good , typical Egyptian food.

“Wonderful, authentic, very inexpensive Nubian guest-house”

This is an absolutely beautiful, clean, quiet place run by lovely people. If you are looking for a quiet, authentic Nubian stay, this is it. It is not far from the airport (15 minutes), and we used their taxi service (reasonable price). It is not far from Philae Island, so we arranged the Philae island visit through them (also reasonable). They make you feel at home immediately, with a welcome tea. Fatima makes an excellent (huge) breakfast with fantastic juices. We had dinner there 1 night (delicious, good price, and huge). The Nubian bathrooms take getting used to (maybe ask for an extra towel/bathmat to put right outside the bathroom). It is a minor inconvenience, considering the quality of the rest of our stay. Come here if you would like a real Nubian experience in a beautifully decorated place with great food, kind hosts, and quiet at night, at such a good price.

“Great overnight stop that gives an insight into the Nubian way of life.”

We used this property as an airport stop over. The place is very clean. The owner, Fatima is lovely. Fatima speaks very little English but google translate and sign language make up for this. The transfer between the property and airport was arranged through the property. Mohamed was the driver, he seemed closely linked to the property. He spoke good English and was very helpful. You are staying in a Nubian Guest House, it is not a hotel. It is very basic, it does have ensuite facilities, it is very inexpensive. It is interesting staying in a Nubian house, you get an insight into their way of life. The Nubian people are very hospitable. As is the custom in Nubian homes there are pet crocodiles.

Lovely breakfast

“A good Nubian stay experience”

If you are looking for a Nubian stay experience, this is a good place to try out for a night or two. Be sure to ask Lady Fatna to cook you a Nubian dinner. Is simple, authentic and delicious.

The hostess was very warm-hearted. After our arrival, she offered each of us a free glass of juice. Although she couldn't speak English, she could accurately understand our needs. The room was clean, the water was very hot and the yard was very beautiful.

“Very welcoming!”

Made you feel as if you were part of the family Location Value for money Close to the airport Quiet The staff went out of their way to meet our needs

“A place that should not be missed”

The staff went out of their way to help us We were made to feel as a member of the family Food was awesome The location Near to the airport

“A wonderful atmosphere, good food, and a family atmosphere”

-Exceedingly helpful staff. -Location. -The morning breakfast. -The cleanliness. -The value for money -Near the airport. -Quiet

Location is at the back of the Nubian village and very close to the airport. The family is so nice and welcoming! Room is great with a view on the inner court : beds are amazingly comfy. Food dinner is a bit more pricey than what you can find outside in the town of Aswan however it is massive! Transportation price to airport is good. Would definitely recommend if you want to switch off and stay away from all the touristic areas in Aswan.

Particularly friendly and helpful

“Very nice and helpful owner owner”

Communication up front and during the stay was good - via Google translate. Fatima ( owner/caretaker) is almost 24 hours there to help. Breakfast was very tasty. They took care of ordering a taxi, getting apples, making extra tea. AC was working. Location just off the main road to the airport

Beautifully decorated and appointed rooms. The House has an authentic (based in a Nubian village) and warm energy. Fatima who runs it, cannot do enough for you and the crocodile pool at the front is in unexpected joy. Quiet and away from the noise of Aswan for an easy getaway to Abu Simbel etc. Thank you for a great stay.

Friendly people, and very helpful and obliging, rustic hotel large rooms and good food. Doesn't have everything but good vibes. Loved the crocs.

“Authentic Nubian experience nearby airport”

It's a lovely place with very nice hosts. Mohamed and Fatima are the best people I met in Egypt. The location might seem far away from Aswan city center, but it is very close to the airport. Mohamed also can drive you to anywhere you want at anytime. And unlike other hotels in Nubian village center, you don't need to ride a few kilometres of dirt road to get there. Kamel house is just around 100 meter away from asphalt road, very easy accessible. We also had dinner prepared by Fatima. Food was very delicious. She also prepared breakfast for us at 4 am for our Abu Simbel tour and before our flight. We booked the Abu Simbel transfer from them, it's AC medium bus, very comfortable. Not the no-AC minivan. All in all, this is the place I would recommend to anyone who is coming to Aswan and wants to experience living in local village. It's definitely a nice experience. Don't expect fancy and modern hotel, but you will not regret. I am very happy that I spent money here in the local village rather than in a five-star hotel chain.

“2 nights in Kamel house, from France”

Very clean and colorful place. Fatima who manages the hotel is very nice and she helped us with all of our request, using the translation app'. She even called a company we had a booked trip with when she saw that the taxi was not arriving. We felt at peace in this hotel, far away from all the noise and the vending crowd we encoutered in downtown. I would come back here without hesitation, should i travel to Aswan again.

“The perfect stay in a Nubian house”

Kamel house is the typical Nubian house with all its charm and allure. Fatma, Muhammed and the whole family are just the best hosts, caring, kind and extremely helpful. The food was also great!

“Beautiful unique place with great hospitality!”

We loved this place, so unique and beautiful and the hospitality was fantastic! Staff went out of their way to help us. We would like to say a special thanks to Mohammed the driver who helped us out when we were stuck, also to Fatima for cooking us dinner late at night when we didn’t have time to eat. We would love to come back again and spend longer next time.

“Book Camel house, if you are staying in Aswan!”

If you want to stay in a real Nubian house, this is the place to go. Colourful, with big, spacious rooms, very accommodating hosts, anything you need can be arranged for you, spend time with the family to get the real feel of their life, half hour walking distance to the other side of the village with the market and motorboats and feluccas.
