It was a very authentic experience, from the space on the boat to the activities around. Abdo is someone who is truly interested in sharing his experience and the best of the region. He also helped us find an excellent option for a Nile cruise on a Dahabiya and made my husband's birthday a truly special evening. Thank you for everything, and I hope that wonderful people like you continue to come to your houseboat.

Abdo is the best host ever! We had a great experience! Aswan is an amazing city, 1000% we will return. You can write Abdo in advance and ask for boat transfer to Botanical garden, Nubian village. And car transfer to Aswan dam and other places. To plan your comfortable stay. One night in Aswan is not enough, I recommend minimum 2 - 3. Best wishes Abdo! We hope to see you again❤️

"Special Hideout on Elephantine Island"

10.0

Very unique experience, Abdo is amazing and we had the whole boat to ourselves. The view overlooking the Botanical Garden Island and the West Bank is mesmerising. Also, there was no noise from boats (as described in previous reviews).

The room was a bit small (especially for tall people) but this was clear from the outset. So nothing to complain about.

"Amazing View and Real Nubian life !"

10.0

The location of the boat is nice. The view is also nice from the boat. Host is very helpful. He arranged Nubian village tour for us and also felluca ride. The food was really tasty.

Wash room is manageable since it is a lower deck of a boat. The experience is really ! You won’t get the hotel like comfort but beds are nice and cozy. From the pier to the boat is a 5-7 mins walk in with the village and if you have too many luggage it’s a struggle. While going back host arranged us a ferry to drop us directly to Aswan dock so that we don’t have to struggle with the luggage.

Abdu was an excellent host! He helped us visit all the sites we wanted to see and put us contact with great local operators. The houseboat is great, a nice calming location to enjoy the Nile after a day of exploring Aswan.
