Aswan Nubian House

I was travelling with a female friend and we were just blown away with the incredible hospitality we received from Said and his brothers, Hamed and Adel. Our stay was so relaxing and despite arriving quite late, Said was so accommodating and made us a snack after a long day of travel. Elephantine island is beautiful and quiet, and the ferry is not a problem to take back to the mainland. I honestly can't say enough good things about this family, Hamed helped us organize a tour to Abu Simbel and a Nile cruise and the price we paid was significantly less than what we were expecting. He helped us make the connection to the cruise after the tour ran a little late. They are building a new hotel next to this location and I would 100% stay with them again if I were to return to Aswan. We stayed in the upstairs room and the bathroom walls don't quite reach the ceiling so if you need some "privacy", someone will have to step out of the room. This wasn't a problem for us as they have a lovely patio to hang out on!

Said was very nice, offered us multiple activities. Nice location on Elephantine Island, right next to the Nile! The bathroom is very rudimentary.

Sa'eed was nice and helpful. I had breakfast on the roof terrace, where a nice view opened to Agha Khan Mausoleum, the Botanical (Kitchener) Island and the elephant-shaped rocks along the banks. The house is on the west side of the island, while public ferry from the mainland arrives on the eastern side, from where the accommodation can be reached by a ten to fifteen minutes' walk. Location was hard to find, I asked locals who could not understand English at all. Eventually I found one who phoned him, then Sa'eed turned up and led me there.

I got well taken care of by the hosts with everything i needed and stayed in a beautiful room on toproof with a nice coach outside where you could feel the wind, smell the nile and also have a view of it.

Amazing place. Really great food. Azus's family are very sweet and helpful.

Passable

Great welcome. Saiid very relaxed and helpful. Ask him to organise an hour or two on a felucca - we did, with a lovely pilot, who was the perfect host. Very relaxed and let us have our space.

The area and view of the Nile is amazing. Said is a wonderful host who met us at the ferry dock and carried my suitcase to the house. Everything felt really authentic. My morning wake-up call was a friendly neighborhood donkey outside the window which was a fun twist! ? There is only one bathroom and the shower is in there too. So when you shower everything gets wet including the toilet paper.

Nice place with view of Nile 1) Loud construction works around the house 2) Donkey which lives in next house have very loud voice and cry several times during the night 3) Garbage hips burning around the house all the day and night makes your breath difficult.

Location Price The owners are kind and helpful people Rooms and bathrooms need some maintenance and more caring

Awsan nubian House was our best hotel in whole our trip in Égypte , very nice place, very quiet and Saïd the owner is super friendly and humble person. For sur we ll come back again

An extraordinary place in Aswan! Located on the Elephantine island, where you can discover traditional Nubian life in the village, with a beautiful terrace and view on the Nile. The room is comfortable and clean and the service is perfect. We got served a delicious breakfast (bread, eggs, jam, cheese, juice, coffee...) every morning. Lunch and dinner is available on request. The owner can organise other tours for you as well. Our highlight was a falouka (sailing boat) ride in the sunset. I can only recommend staying here. You will spend the most relaxing time, no noise or cars around, fresh air and the most friendly people. The hosts Said and Hamed will be there for you to give you a memorable time you'll never forget!

If I have to be honest so nothing we liked there Absolutely joke, Mafia,1of 4 rooms has air-condition , shower and toilet omg ? no comment , ??? rats running around, lizard, bugs omg ? Was 8 of as and only 4 scrambled eggs,few rolls,some jam and feta cheese for breakfast,but pictures showing lovely breakfast, 3 rooms just electric fan, picture's are different what you get , we was feeling like we are in slam's ? very disappointed ? never again

Very peaceful location. On the other side of Elephantine Island to the dock and takes about 10-15minutes to walk from the dock. Host was very accommodating.

The view No air conditioner

The location is more than wonderful for those who want to relax, calm and enjoy the beauty of nature I thank those in charge of the administration for the warm reception and hospitality Staying in this place is an experience that deserves to be repeated more than once

The Aswan AuBian house was not what was advertised on the you tube it was not the village of the anubian hotel miss leading Nothing

Very good

Although we had requested an early check in (9:00-10:00) and we got a confirmation, we arrived at 10:00, we had to wait 2 and a half hours at the porch because the room was occupied. Had we know that, we would arrange differently. This was very tiring and a waste of our little time there. Every cover in the property was dirty. Covers of the large pillows at the porche, cover of the little table in the room. Generally speaking, cleanliness was not acceptable. We booked the superior room with a private porche. The bathroom has no door. Only a curtain. Besides the guest room, although the island is very nice and very calm, keep in mind that it has only dirt roads and generally speaking it is not clean.

The host was really nice.
