Nubian Paradise

First of all, the owner is very friendly and helpful, and he gave us great advice for trips around the area. The place is really clean, and from the terrace and rooftop you can enjoy a fantastic view, especially since it’s located directly in front of the Nile and right next to the ferry. Overall, it was one of my best experiences.

This was my favourite place in my trip to Egypt. I love Aswan, and staying at Nubian Paradise on Elephantine Island was the quiet I needed from the chaos and hassle of Egypt. The view from the roof is amazing - great for watching the sunrise and the sunset. Zolly is an amazing man, one of the most interesting hosts I've ever encountered in my travels to 100 countries. We had many long interesting conversations and I learnt a lot about Nubain culture and Egypt from him. I want to keep in contact him, and hope to catch up with him again in any future visits to Aswan inshallah. He was able to organise my trips to Abu Simbel, Philae Temple and Aswan Dam, and also a private driver to visit 3 temples and drop off at Luxor. I believe Nubian Paradise will be hard to book in future as his accommodation and service is top notch. While you stay on Elephantine Island please make sure you explore the island, go to the Aswan Museum (it's not touristy), eat at the restaurants on the island and walk around and interact with the locals.

The owner was really kind all the time, all Nubian people is really kind and helpfull if you need anything, you should stay here in elephantine, its quieter and really beautiful at its own way.

Excellent location, very clean and comfy

Nothing

Fascinating location. View of the Nile.

Access is by ferry, but no problem unless later at night.

Strongly, strongly recommend staying on Elephantine Island. The cheap ferry takes you a world away — it's much more peaceful than in the city. Nubian Paradise is at a good location on the island, too. Very nice cheap grocery store behind it, restaurants nearby, and easy to get to from the ferry. Zolly is an amazing, gracious host. He made my stay much better and easier.

The shared bathroom might be a bit rustic to some people's taste, and the shower water pressure is not great.

Iew of the NIle. Quiet and peaceful.

Hoped kitchen would have heat for making small meals.⁷⁸⁹
