Nubian Kingdom Aragheed House

Hussan the host made my trip even better, he was very knowledgeable I could ask him anything and he will help me as best as he could. We end up hanging with each other most days.

No much I didn’t like. I would say maybe more food option at lunch time. The dinner was amazing so amazing u wish he did lunch too. But he didn’t only breaks at and dinner.

The family that runs the house is super hospitable and welcoming. The place is clean, in a quiet location and has a beautiful view of the Nile and Nubian tombs. Beds were comfortable and showers were hot. The rooftop was amazing for relaxing. The nightly family dinner is delicious.

Nothing comes to mind. It was amazing.

The place is in my top 10 places i have stayed ever , so much character and the people running it are so generous, they even played ping pong with my son jonas to give me a rest :)

Wish i could have stayed longer

If you are a ethnomusicologist you must stay here. If you want to experience Nubian life and music you also must stay here. Every evening after dinner the instruments come out and you are invited join in. You can listen to the traditional rhythms and melodies of the Nubian people. If you are a musician yourself you will be invited to share a song. There are guitars and frame drums to play and sometimes a keyboard. You never know who will show up on a particular evening. Sometimes guest musicians come from farther away and sometimes it is just the family. This is not a performance. It is a traditional Nubian music jam. So if you wish a laid back emersion into Nubian culture, come here. The family is beyond welcoming. You will be greeted with loving hearts and they will help you with anything you need. The location is across the Nile from the city of Aswan so you must take a ferry to get here or drive the long way around. Ferry is only 10EGP or about 20 cents.

If you want to eat out, there is not much around here in the way of restaurants. So you probably should take the ferry across to the city. But the home cooked dinners here are very good.

The kindness and the open spirit of the Nubian people

That I could not stay longer

I had a wonderful stay, it was incredibly comfortable and truly felt like I was at home. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a special touch of cozy charm throughout. One of the highlights was the fantastic music jams they hosted—such a great experience! The live sessions were full of energy, and the music itself was excellent. It really brought everyone together and added a unique, lively vibe to my stay. The hosts were also extremely helpful, going out of their way to make sure I had everything I needed. Whether it was offering local tips or just being friendly and accommodating, they made my time there even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a homey, and memorable getaway

It was an amazing experience staying in this Nubian guesthouse. Bassam the host is really welcoming, he invited us to Nubian coffee and we had great conversations learning about his culture. Breakfast that's included is great, and the access to fresh orange juice and water was another bonus. They also offer tours so you don't need to plan too much for your vacation. The location is also very good, being close to the public ferry to cross over to Aswan.

Nothing

The place was clean and neat. I stayed in a tent and it was comfortable and fine. The hosts were generous and welcoming from the first second. This place will always be my choice in Aswan. Also, great music jamming sessions.
