Nuba Dool

Nuba Dool was a lovely place to stay. Would highly recommend for those interested in staying on Elephantine Island. I found it comfortable, secluded, and safe even as a female solo traveller.

There is only a communal fridge, and occasionally items would go missing. Otherwise, no real complaints. Be sure you know which ferry to take from main Aswan. The one by the KFC is far, so try to head further South.

Amazing location, very traditional, enjoy it a lot here

Para ser un alojamiento en la isla Elefantina no estaba mal, dado que el ferry nos quedaba nada más y nada menos que a 100 mts. Las instalaciones estaban limpias y cómodas.

Me hubiera gustado disfrutar del desayuno que se nos incluía, el cual comenzaba a las 07:30. Dado que teníamos que irnos antes a una excursión que salía a las 7, consultamos si podrían darnoslo antes o al menos llevar una vianda pero no fue posible. Me hubiera gustado que tuvieran ese gesto.

Amazing homestay. Beautiful people. Great breakfast served. Overall, the island here works on a different vibration. Come with open-mindedness and humility, and you will experience the warmth of the Nubian people here.

Taking the ferry to the island is absolutely worth it—it’s a great way to escape the noise of Aswan. The hotel is very close to the ferry station, which makes getting there easy. We chose a room with a view of the Nile, which I highly recommend. The host was very helpful, and the breakfast was phenomenal. Overall, a wonderful stay!

The rooftop terrace is awesome! Rooms are spacious and clean. Enough towels provided. Very close to the ferry so well connected to the centre of Aswan yet quiet location on Elephantine island.

Water was leaking inside the fridge. We didn’t like the coffee but found a good local place across the river for coffee and food (Makani). The restaurant they advised us (King Jamaica) was very touristic and didn’t offer a good service.

It’s a bit of a shock when you land in the island. Dirt paths and all the buildings look run down but once you get past that you get great views of the Nile from the decks. All the restaurants I tried there the food was exceptional. King Jamaica, Kana Kato and Aziza. Makani on the mainland was also great. The owners of the hotel were extremely helpful organising trips and making sure you are ok. Rooms are basic but good value for money. Really enjoyed my time there
