“Very good value for money awesome food nice family business”

Awesome location right at the Nile river. The dinner food is delicious. The owner pick you up at the kfc and take you with the boat to the island. They also have felluca for 600 egp.

“Magical Nubian stay on Elephantine Island”

The guest house is located on Elephantine Island, opposite Aswan, in front of the Agha Khan's mausoleum, making it a quieter and more peaceful position. The structure is simple and basic, but the location is fantastic, with an enchanting view. Mostafa is very helpful and welcoming, accommodating our every request. He picked us up on his boat and took us back at the end of our stay. He always organized all the transfers and many excursions, both by boat and felucca, very well, at a reasonable price. The rest of the staff was also extremely kind and discreet: they always accommodated our every request,, including for breakfast, which was good and plentiful, as well as dinner (excellent spaghetti with tomato sauce!!), at competitive prices. Even on the morning I had a trip to Abu Simbel with a 4:00 a.m. wake-up call, they perfectly organized a takeaway breakfast. The room is spartan but has everything you need, and the view of the Nile directly from the room is magical. The wifi works excellently. Elephantine Island is beautiful and the Nubians are fantastic. I felt right at home thanks to Mustafa and his family. I loved my stay there and hope to return. Thank you, Mostafa!

“Great hospitality in a beautiful location”

Fantastic location right by the Nile, facing towards the desert on the west bank and the botanical gardens. Lovely watching kingfishers from the restaurant while having breakfast. Arriving by boat is very cool! I really appreciated being met at the train station by Mostafa and the free transfer directly to the guesthouse by boat. The room was comfortable and I loved how the high, domed ceiling kept it naturally cool, even when it was around 30C outside (there is a fan and aircon though, if needed!) Mostafa is a fantastic, welcoming host and arranged excursions to Philae, the Botanical Gardens and the Nobles' tombs for us at a fair price. He also arranged our excellent onward felucca trip towards Luxor. We spent one night on the felucca and then were picked up by a car which took us the rest of the way to Luxor, with stops to visit the temples at Kom Ombo and Edfu. The felucca was very comfortable and incredibly relaxing with delicious food, so I'd recommend booking through Mostafa. It was great being picked up by the felucca directly from the guesthouse, and Mostafa stayed in touch during the trip to check in case we needed anything. All in all, we loved our stay here and hope to return. Thank you, Mostafa!

Lovely place and people

“Great place on Elephantine Island”

Great location very friendly team good food Fantastic view on the Nil and the desert moutains

Amazing host who was very helpful organising trips and transfers . Home cooked food . The Location was peaceful and views amazing

All is perfect

“It was a great experience and we loved the location and the authenticity of the place”

The location was great facing the water and quite comparing with the main city, food was authentic and well done :-) the jetty service was also excellent and affordable

Mustafa, Faris and his family are what make this place really special. They were so welcoming and helpful. They sorted all our trips for us and made it very easy for us. The room (5) was very comfortable with an INCREDIBLE view and the shower was very good and hot! The location is on the other side of Elephantine island which means you do have to walk to get to the ferry but it’s not far and it does mean it is quiet and with a beautiful view over the West Bank so a great place to sit and relax for a while. I would recommend to anyone to stay here

“Great”

Beautiful place on the Nile

“perfect choice for anyone who wants to enjoy the nature and local aesthetic”

the location was amazing. really nice view, calm place, real nubian hospitality

A wonderful stay on Elephantine Island with a beautiful view over the Nile. The location is perfect—very calm and peaceful, making it an ideal place to relax after a day of exploring. The owners are extremely kind and attentive, always ready to help us organize trips and transportation with very fair prices. The homemade food is delicious, and full of local flavor. Highly recommanded to enjoy a pleasant stay in Aswan.

Very clean and right on the river bank. Easy access to boats (both public and private). Excellent breakfast

“A gem in Aswan”

The highlights here are the fantastic view of the Nile, and the warm hospitality of Mostafa and his family. We had a triple room on the top floor with a balcony that had wonderful views. It was a lovely place to relax and we could easily spend all day out there watching the boats go by. The room was clean, a kettle and fridge were provided (but no tea or coffee or toiletires). There were plenty of power outlets to charge devices and WiFi worked well for what we needed. The egyptian breakfast is also really good, and changes each day. We looked forward to breakfast each morning. I recommend you book your tours and transfers through Mostafa, he offered very reasonable rates and all were reliable and well organised. The island itself is a nice local community and everyone is friendly and welcoming. It is a peaceful place to stay, away from the noise and hassle of the city. Very easy to get to the main area by the public ferry or Mostafa's boat. Everything is easily walkable. Bring a torch (or use the light on your phone) for walking around at night but it is very safe. Mostafa was a great host, by the end of our 5 days there we felt like we lived there and felt at home. He was kind enough to take us back to the city and ensure we found our transfer safely. Thanks for an excellent stay, we would happily return.

The best place in Asuan: beautiful place, quiet nights, nice staff, perfect service!

Thank you Mostafa for helping us organizing my sister's birthday. It was so kind!

“Wish we were still there”

Nile View Guesthouse is one of those "wish we'd stayed longer, would love to go back" locations. From first contact until after our departure, Mostafa and family made us feel very well looked after. Our room - named "DYI" - had a lovely balcony and an excellent view past the moored felucca, across the Nile to the Aga Khan's mausoleum on the west bank. We'd happily have spent far more time there than we did, just watching the comings and goings on the river. Exploring the Nubian village and temple site nearby was an added pleasure. Mostafa also organised a few transfers and activities for us for reasonable prices (payable by card if need be) and these all went well. All arrangements were clear and well handled. The two breakfasts we had were very good and we regret not having more meals there.

“Magical view on the Nile!”

The wonderfulf location with great view on the Nile! Having breakfast while looking on the westbank of the Nile with view of Aga Khan mausoleum and Sahara desert was magical! The staff was very friendly and hospitable. We had a delicious tajine for dinner as well. Very good and local kitchen. We really enjoyed our stay here on nice and quiet Elephantine Island with Nubian hospitality!

“Good but Extra effort for Transportation”

Niel View nice and rooms are clean / İnternet connection was nice!

Lovely location away from the hustle and bustle, directly overlooking the Nile with views to the mausoleum. Delicious breakfast. A chilled place to stay.
