Nubian Holiday House Aswan

I was so happy with the idea to stay in that place on the west bank of Nile. It was perfect choise, accomodation is very authentic, owners are really nice, we had dinner from Nubian mom, which I can fully recomend. Accomodation is basic, but clean and suficient. When I was cold during the night hosts gave me another blanket. It's very easy to reach the east bank with local ferry. I can fully recommend.

Nothing.

Lovely authentic Nubian house with very helpful friendly staff. Beautiful location overlooking the Nile from the very nice roof terrace to watch the boats sailing by. Local ferry to Aswan was a highlight. Easy to visit the Noble tombs as close by and worth visiting with amazing views.

The beds were a little uneven Sometimes the dogs barked at night

Location, hospitality, food, smiles, quietness, safety,

Actually it was a good experience,

If I just have to rate the room, the location, the welcome-service and the clean it would be a 10/10. Do it. Wonderful. Clean, silent, good atmosphere for the room. Love a rooftop. Go for a morning walk and you get aaaall the good stereotypical things about Egypt and enjoy it: A little sandy desert, camels, the Nile, palms, cows^^

But... We eat and drink there (beside the includet breakfast) and booked a trip (to Abu Simbel for sure) and there our problems startet: - beverage prices are not the actual price on the shown list and are airport prices (don't come for me it's just a Euro when you're wining about triple prices at the airport for more beverage) - she's a wonderful person and a great cook! . Skip the soup. Dinning is 200 LE pPp with meat. (not cheap) First night we choose chicken, was more bones but fresh. The vegetables are fantastic! So good! Wish there was only this opportunity because it was so good and we need no meat. - We really have a problem with the trip to Abu Simbel. We paid 100$ without hotel to hotel transfer. Without a meal etc. Till this day I had a trust with handling. I asked about the price time before but they answered so late that we had to accept it or cancel it. Year, otherwise..

I like the view from the roof top restaurant and also friendliness of the staff.

The lack of choice for restaurants nearby.

The place in reality is much better than how it is presented in the pictures. There are also two sunbeds in the common area. There is also a tv, but without English channels. Rooms are quite (no noise from the street) and have been recently renovated. Of course you hear the boats in the Nile and the nearby mosque. Furniture is simple but nice. Normally it is difficult to find in Egypt such a charming place presented in a simple way. Taking the ferry to Aswan is very simple and super cheap. In the village when you walk everybody says hello and welcome. You feel super safe. In this Aswan is very different... It is also safe but turists are harrassed. Frankly we liked very much this place.
