Kashta Nubian Guest Houst

Elephantine Island is a hidden gem that really elevated our Egypt experience. Omar (host) is such a warm person that will help you with anything you need. Forget about hustlers, negotiating and searching for trips/experiences; Omar will take care of everything for best price you can get (I double checked :) ) We booked Abu Simbel, boat ride to Nubian village and he also organized us a car transfer to Luxor and a pick-up from Aswan airport. Kashta Guest house is also the only accomodation on our Egypt trip that actually is better in real-life than photos :). Rooftop breakfast was the best way to start the day and for the Abu Simbel trip, Omar prepared us sandwiches, as we went early in the morning. Pro tip: Greet locals with "As-salamu alaykum" around the island and observe their reactions and their many different versions of greeting you back. As it literally means "Peace be upon you", I have a feeling that they have greeted me, wishing me every peace on the world there is to me and my extended family :). (I obviously don't know what they really said)

Nothing. It was too short :)

Omar was truly the highlight of our stay. He was always available to take us back to shore with his boat — even very late at night — and he did it with genuine kindness and reliability. You can clearly see that his guests are his top priority

Everything, especially the quitness

Me encantó la atención de Omar, es una persona realmente encantadora, educada y sobre todo que trata de apoyarte en todo lo que puede y aún más. Fue tan amable que incluso me preparó desayuno a las 3 am ya que tenía un tour a las 3:30 El lugar también es encantador y puedes sentirse segura en todo momento

Omar était au petit soin pour nous tout au long de notre séjour. Toujours disponible pour nous aider et très facilitateur concernant nos demandes. Merci Omar nous espérons revenir !
