De mooie locatie aan de Nijl, het fijne Nubische appartement en de warme gastvrijheid van Marta en Osama!

Une pause idyllique sur l'île Elephantine, sans engins à moteur : ça fait du bien ! Vue sur le Nil et la végétation luxuriante de l'île botanique avec les dunes de sable en toile de fond. Accueil très sympas, on a très bien dormi et petite mention spéciale pour le pesto maison de la propriétaire italienne. On recommande !

Tout était parfait et tout particulièrement la gentillesse de nos hôtes

Rien

Lovely and quiet place, just next to the river Nile. Marta and Oussama were great hosts. We had a peaceful time at Nubian Lotus on Elephantine island, I strongly recommend.

Nothing

Clean cozy and have protection from the mosquito

Need to mention the shower is not that strong, also u need to take slippers, toothpaste and brush, and better shampoo with body lotion to have a good stay. These days the island can be cold at 5 am but hot when u get asleep.

Staying on Elephantine island was a wonderful experience. We stayed at Nubian Lotus for 4 glorious nights. The island has no cars. Everyone you meet is so friendly and they all know Osama and Marta. The ferries to the mainland are very frequent. Osama and Marta are the best hosts ever. They looked after us beautifully from organising Khaliid to come and pick us up from the airport and then transporting us and our bags in their boat to their own jetty late one evening to organising our various tours- including a trip to Abu Simbel ( very well worth while getting up at 3.30am for as when we arrived at the site there were very few people there- when we left 2 hours later it was heaving). They also organised a driver and Sam, the wonderful Egyptologist guide, to drive us from Aswan to Luxor, stopping off at Kom Ombo, Edfu and Esna en route. Our accommodation was quiet with only the sound of occasional dog barking, sheep baaing and a donkey braying. Added to this, hearing the regular call to prayers from the various mosques on the island and on the mainland simply added to the magic of it all. We loved the food that both Osama and Marta prepared for us both Nubian and Italian ( fantastic coffee Marta!) Our room was beautifully clean and comfortable

There is nothing to dislike no matter how hard you try
