“Nubian hospitality and amazing views - highly recommended”
Absolutely top experience - the place is amazing, with excellent views, good ferry connection to the city center and all the amenities. The host was very friendly and helpful - he even came to rescue us when our rental car broke down. Will definitely come again!

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.

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

Location on the West Bank is peaceful, away from the East Bank hustle. The house is short walk away from the public ferry port that connects to the East Bank for 10 EGP. The host Tamer is a very nice and honest person. He arranged for our trip to Abu Simbel, Felluca ride and the taxi back to the airport and all three at very decent pricing. The hotel is probably the tallest building in the Nubian village (where it is situated), and hence gets a view of the desert on one side and the Nile view on the other, when sat on the terrace. Breakfast was really tasty and it's made fresh so please give them a time, so food can be made ready for that time. The day we went to Abu Simbel, the owner was up with a breakfast bag for us at 4 am, to take with us on the mini bus. They do serve dinner as well but we didn't get a chance to try that. You can do a camel ride, desert walk and Felluca ride from the village itself.. Very convenient. The owner can arrange other visits as well, based on what you intend/plan to do. We were welcomed with a nice Hibiscus tea and Tamer gave us a free upgrade for one of the rooms and let us keep our bags in the room, well after checkout as our flight was at 10.45pm. His manager, Ibrahim (aka Action) was also very helpful and a proud Nubian. For the price, it exceeded my expectation and a very nice experience overall.

“Excellent”
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.

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.

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

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!

“Okay”
The owner Tamer was always helpful and organized good priced tours to Abu Simbel, Philae Temple and a taxi to the airport. Although the communication in English was a bit difficult, he was always available to call and tried his best to make us feel comfortable. The bedroom was also very nice.

“Nuba Heart is a friendly and relaxed home away from home, exceptional value.”
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.

“Beautiful views and a very peaceful place”
Located in the Nubian village, very quiet, ideal for resting. Very clean and spacious rooms. Very rich and abundant breakfast on the terrace with beautiful views. We also had dinner there at a very convenient price. Tamer took care of managing all the tours and making sure it was all good. His family is very nice.

“If you want to stay in the West Bank of Aswan, choose this property without thinking anything else.”
The name of the owner is Tamer. I would recommend that before coming to Aswan, don’t make any plans because Tamer will make all the plans for you in an affordable price. It’s not just planning, he continuously tracks that you are having a good trip throughout the day. He even gave us a lift for around 15 kilometres at 4 am in the morning. Unbelievably helpful guy. The hotel is neat and clean, great roof, great view of the Nile river and again, if you need anything else, Tamer is on the ground floor, anytime.
