Guest Reviews
- Lorenzo (10/5): - A truly unique experience. The organic local food was absolutely delicious, the staff took great care of us throughout our stay, and they were always available for any need. They also shared excellent restaurant recommendations that made our trip even better. Highly recommended!
- Valentin (9/5): C’était très sympa - Le lieu sur une petite île au calme.
La déco, le potager, le personnel, la vue de la chambre. C’est un peu loin du centre de Assouan donc implique un bateau systématique.
- viviane (10/5): Indulge yourself with a stay at Nala Narty - Hidden gem off the beaten tracks in Seheil island ! Peace and quiet - with the best views !
- Jan (10/5): Amazing accommodation, great communication and perfect hosts! - Amazing accommodation, very authentic, great hosts. Good food, trips very well organised. I can definetly recommend this! Nothing
- Beatrice (10/5): - An oasis of peace that went beyond all expectations. The best food we had in Egypt, incredibly kind and always helpful staff, and a magical place that we will definitely return to. All was perfect!
- Kate (9/5): Séjour ressourcant, hôtes très serviables - Notre séjour chez Nala Narty était exactement ce que nous recherchions : un moment paisible et ressourçant.
Les hôtes ont été aux petits soins et ont parfaitement organisé notre séjour, des transferts en bateau à l’excursion à Abu Simbel, sans oublier les repas.
L’hôtel est sur une petite ile accessible par navette de l’hôtel.
La cuisine était délicieuse, préparée avec des produits frais issus du potager local, ce qui a rendu l’expérience encore plus authentique.
Un séjour de grande qualité, porté par des hôtes extrêmement accueillants et serviables.
- Giovanni franco (9/5): - Emplacement, accueil, dîner, personnel est top
- Francesco (9/5): - Location cibo e accoglienza Migliorare un po' il wc.
- Maria (10/5): Imersão do Nilo - Fantástico pequeno oásis na confusão de assuao
Dos melhores pequenos almoços da viagem
Acolhimento TOP pelo Zazou ( também um life guard fantastic a observa nos atentivamente quando mergulharmos no Nilo)
Estadia infelizmente curta mas fabulosa
- jerome (10/5): Merveilleux - Un endroit exceptionnel. On s'y sent tout de suite tres bien. Tout est étudié pour y etre heureux. Le confort est oprimal. Le personnel est toujours a l'écoute et tres gentil.
Les repas sont excellents et pas chers.
Une parenthèse formidable ! Rien
- Suzanne (6/5): - Nice getaway from the hustle and bustle. Pretty rooms with lovely views. Good opportunity to swim in the Nile. Excellent lunch. Unfortunately this place did not compare well with other places we stayed at in Egypt. The rooms were pretty but there was no place to put your stuff: no hooks, no shelves, no hangers not even a place to hang a wet swimsuit. We had to pay for bottled water, Something we didn’t encounter anywhere else during our three-week journey.
- Doug (10/5): - This place is amazing. Gorgeous gardens, the best food we had in Egypt- especially the breakfasts. Swimming and relaxing and chatting to the other guests. And the hotel managers ( who were helping out the absent owner) were really helpful friendly informative. Shower was so forceful it flooded out the bathroom! But that was also a good thing
- Luisa (10/5): 100% recommend - We absolutely loved the stay and our hosts thoughtful attention to all of our many asks.
Room was comfortable, food was great and location is perfect.
Recommend kayaking in the bird sanctuary across the river - magical experience! Nothing
- Christine (10/5): Eine ganz besondere Unterkunft! - Das Design des Hotels ist wunderbar! Das Abendessen dort ist ganz einzigartig, es gibt ein tolles Abendessen mit dem Gemüse direkt vom eigenen Feld. Es gibt leider kein WLAN
- Philippa (10/5): A perfect, calm and friendly place. - It’s in a rural area, reached by the water. The rooms are rustic, cool and comfortable. The design of the property is delightful. The staff are charming, helpful and friendly, and almost all speak English. The food is made, and some grown on site in the organic garden. There is a friendly dog and cat too. I liked everything.
- Mostafa (10/5): Nature - Special thanks to Mr Bassem our host, this guy is really making this facility special and treat all guests as they are guests in his own home.
The authentic feel of this property is giving you opportunity to reflect, and kids were having much fun to engage with the farm animals and pets, and keep away from devices. Nothing in particular, privacy could be improved.

- Pascal (9/5): -
- Serge (10/5): -
- Carlos (10/5): - Alojamiento maravilloso en una pequeña isla del Río Nilo. Todo el personal encantador. Muy recomendable, nos encantó la estancia!!
- Maria Belen (10/5): -
- Angelo (10/5): -
- Ruth (10/5): Super relaxing stay! - We only stayed at Nala Narty for one night but we wish we could have stayed for longer! A lovely location on a little island on the Nile near Aswan and when you're on the island it feels incredibly peaceful. Our room was spacious and very comfortable and it was lovely to be able to walk around the grounds and gardens to just relax. Highly recommend taking the free shuttle boat to the Nubian Village as well! Nothing, everything was great!
- Gaelle (10/5): Lieu suspendu dans le temps - Nous avons adoré l’authenticité du lieu et la gentillesse du personnel
- Pierre (9/5): Une très belle parenthèse à Assouan - Nous avons beaucoup apprécié le lieux et le design donné à cette petite île. Les endroits communs sont très charmants. Le calme de l’île était tres appréciable. Nous y avons dîner à deux reprises et la nourriture typique égyptienne était particulièrement excellente !!! Le personnel extrêmement gentil et serviable !
Nous avons pu nous baigner dans le Nile ! Dommage qu’il n’y ait pas de rapide nettoyage prévu dans la chambre entre les nuits, au vu du prix de la nuitée cela semblerait raisonnable. La literie n’était pas la plus confortable. Nous n’avions pas anticipé autant de moustique sur l’île, pensez à prendre de l’anti moustique efficace dans vos bagages !!!
- Matilde (9/5): -
- Valentina (10/5): Nice place. Peaceful and suggestive - Very kind and good hospitality Nothing
- Justine Scheffelmeier (10/5): Absolute gem - highlight of our Egypt trip! - Truly incredible - see my Google review for a detailed description of our whole experience!
- Aseel (10/5): -
- Irène (9/5): Hôtel de charme, très bon accueil - Hotel avec beaucoup de charme. Chambre confortable décorée dans le style nubien.
Bon petit -déjeuner copieux et avec du choix. Accueil très sympathique La vue sur les pylônes électriques !
- Rumbidzayi (10/5): Beautifully simple, low frills and grounding. A great place to get away and re-centre. - A lovely property with an authentic Nubian feel that’s located on an island. It was scenic and lovely to be by the water and away from the hustle and bustle.
The food at Nala Narty was divine - the organic ingredients from the farm definitely had us coming back for more.
Fashioned on a communal living premise, Nala Narty manages to create a communal sense whilst providing privacy as well.
The staff were great and really helpful.
It is what you expect and matches the description shared. There’s no Wifi on the property - which tracks for a low connectivity stay. Mobile data works well on the island though.
- CHUJUN (9/5): - 真的非常漂亮且宁静 房间里面会有一些小虫
- Joanne (8/5): We had the most enjoyable and relaxed stay at Nala Narty. Basem was the perfect host and is very friendly and attentive - Peaceful location, nice vibe, good staff
- vitry (9/5): Excellent séjour dans un cadre enchanteur. L’equipe et surtout son manageur Bissou est proactive. - Emplacement exceptionnel sur une île du Nil. Le manque de fruits et les quantités de nourriture un peu justes
- Jan (10/5): -
- Tanja (10/5): - Everything Can't think fo anything, which means it would be minor anyway
- Albert (9/5): Great location and good host - Location and authenticity Nothing
- Yoann (8/5): - Lovely authentic setting. Biso has great hospitality skills and discussing with him was always a pleasure. Tasty garden aubergines. In a way poorly managed (Biso is not the owner) and overpriced experience. Cleanliness and tidiness could be really improved. They organized a wedding which is unacceptable but we got a fair commercial geisture.
- Jan (10/5): Must visits on your Egypt trip! - Highlight of our Egypt trip! We enjoyed every minute of our stay. Safe haven, lots of activitys provided and so easy to book. Very authentic, off the beaten path. Kayaking tour was great. Visiting a fisher on his island and experience a real Nubian lunch.
The Nubian village just a 2 minute boat ride away. The whole staff felt like family.
It felt like a second home. A must visit on your Egypt trip, 100% recommend staying here
- Joel (10/5): - Friendly staff - especially sharif with his good tipps and perfect english
The island is a great location in the nature
Free upgrade
- Kathryn (10/5): - This was such a lovely way to end my first time in Egypt. The property is so calm and has beautiful views. Bassem and all of the staff were so kind and welcoming. The breakfast was delicious as was the dinner. They gave really nice suggestions for my other stops in Egypt as well as ones in Aswan. I look forward to returning one day.
- Dominik (10/5): Our best stay in Egypt - It's difficult to truly describe our experience at Nala Narty. We could use all the superlatives, but what really defines this place is love, calm, and a sense of family.
The location is simply breathtaking, surrounded by stunning landscapes. The entire place is created with so much passion and care that it exceeds any expectations. From the very first moment, the people make you feel at home, and the cuisine is both surprising and absolutely delicious.
If you think you might get bored on the island - think again. There are plenty of activities to enjoy, both on the island and around Aswan, all thoughtfully organised for you.
We rarely write reviews, but this is a place we simply couldn’t leave without expressing our appreciation.
Highly recommended ❤️
Dominik & Emilia
- Florence (10/5): Un havre de paix paradisiaque à ASSOUAN - Le temps semble s’être arrêté à Nala Narty ; ce lieu est paradisiaque : havre de paix, déjeuners et dîners nubiens fantastiques, des oiseaux très présents égayent votre journée, des compagnons à deux pattes ou quatre vous accueillent , une vue sur le Nil imprenable, une chambre offrant tout le confort possible et enfin l’accueil inégalé de Sherif, si prévenant, réactif, chaleureux et qui peut vous organiser tout type d’excursions partout en Égypte . Le personnel est d’une gentillesse inégalée aussi . Nous avons passé 3 nuits là bas et le seul regret est de ne pas être restés plus longtemps Rien
- Cameron (10/5): Unique hippy lodge experience - Unique “eco” hippy environment in amazing river location. Staff make airport access easy. Some may not like the more primitive feel. Room did not have desk nor a place to put items, bathroom sink did not any place to put even a toothbrush, toilet open to room.
- Beatrice (10/5): - L’emplacement au bord de l’eau
Le jardin botanique
L’architecture inspirée de la culture nubienne
La qualité de l’accueil et de la cuisine
La vue le soir depuis le rooftop Rien
- Reza (9/5): - Breakfast
Dinner
Boat ride
- corinne (9/5): Deux jours fantastiques, au calme, avec un hôte au petit soin. - Notre hôte, Bizou, et son petit chien Zazou, étaient parfaits, à l'écoute de nos besoins, il nous a fait visiter la ferme et était là pour nous donner les conseils de visites d'Assouan.
Le petit-déjeuner était local, des plats pleins de saveurs avec des produits de leur potager.
Le lieu est d'inspiration nubienne, meublé avec beaucoup de charme dans un environnement super calme ! l'établissement est situé sur une petite île, vue sur le Nile de la chambre, un vrai bonheur. L'établissement a un système de bateau-navettes très pratique. Rien. Pas de bouilloire dans la chambre (mais c'est pour mettre quelque chose).
- Ashton (10/5): Incredible stay and amazing organiser for tours and experiences - Loved the relaxed setting and island life Slightly too hard beds
- Anna (10/5): przepiękne miejsce! - perełka w całym Egipcie! :) przepiękne miejsce, oaza spokoju.
piękna architektura i nawiązania do kultury nubijskiej - doceniamy wykorzystanie starych materiałów do stworzenia tego miejsca. piękny pokój z widokiem na Nil.
PRZEPYSZNE jedzenie. zjedliśmy dwie kolacje i obie były pyszne (każdego dnia było coś innego).
śniadania niestety nie mieliśmy szans zjeść na miejscu ze względu na wycieczkę i wczesne wymeldowanie, ale otrzymaliśmy pudełka na wynos - bardzo miły dodatek.
przemiły właściciel - pomocny, szybko odpisuje na wiadomości. skorzystaliśmy z jego poleceń kierowcy do Abu Simbel, tu również wszystko było w porządku.
w cenie pobytu jest łódka, dzięki której można dostać się z brzegu na wyspę, jest bezpłatna o ustalonych godzinach, poza tymi godzinami cena nie jest wysoka.
- Emanuele (10/5): Un piccolo paradiso sul Nilo - Abbiamo appena lasciato Nara Narty e già ci manca. Questo piccolo hotel su un isolotto del Nilo è davvero un posto speciale.
Le camere sono bellissime, arredate con grande cura e attenzione ai dettagli: ogni elemento sembra scelto per farti entrare davvero nello spirito del luogo. Ho amato particolarmente i piccoli tocchi sostenibili, come gli spazzolini in bamboo, la doccia a cascata e la cucina condivisa sempre a disposizione degli ospiti. A qualsiasi ora puoi riempire la tua bottiglia d’acqua, prepararti un tè o persino farti un frullato, un gesto semplice che ti fa sentire subito a casa.
Le camere affacciano sull’orto privato della struttura, e quando la sera assaggi a cena i prodotti coltivati lì, l’esperienza diventa ancora più magica.
Siamo rimasti cinque giorni… e ne avremmo fatti volentieri altri cinque. Alla fine del soggiorno ci sembrava quasi di far parte della famiglia. Abbiamo adorato la slow life che questo posto ti invita a vivere, così come tutte le esperienze consigliate dallo staff.
Un luogo autentico, curato e pieno di anima.
Torneremo sicuramente.
- Herman (9/5): Geweldige authentieke accommodatie op een rustige locatie in de Nijl. - De rust en de prettig ontspannen sfeer. Heel fijn bijkomen na bijna 2 weken hektiek in Egypte. Zeer behulpzaam personeel. Heerlijk vers bereid en verantwoord eten. Het Nubisch dorp op het grotere naastgelegen (1 roeibootminuutje) eiland is veel ‘authentieker’ dan het bekendere op Elephantine Island. De hoogspanningskabels boven de accomodatie doen afbreuk aan het ‘ecogevoel’ dat het eilandje verder zeker waarmaakt. Went snel overigens. De kamer zou wat praktischer en schoner kunnen en het raam (met een prachtig uitzicht) wat helderder. Maar dit zijn details, die na enige gewenning geen afbreuk doen aan een geweldige ervaring.
- Gaëlle (9/5): Havre de paix qui permet de profiter en douceur de l’Egypte et la Nubie . - Un havre de paix et une excellente nourriture à base de produits cultivés sur place . Une attention de tous les instants de la part de Biso. Je recommande vivement.
- JEREMIE (9/5): Excellent séjour calme et cosy. Personnel exceptionnel. - L’emplacement est magnifique et l’esprit du lieu est tout à fait convaincant. Le staff est à l’écoute et au petit soin pour faciliter le séjour.
Nous avons beaucoup échangé avant notre arrivée pour nous aider à planifier notre arrivée et organiser des visites. Tout était très clair. Seul petit bémol, la situation de l’île. Accessible via des navettes par bateau (gratuit) toutes les 3h environ.
C’est son plus grand atout mais peut être vécu comme un inconvénient si on anticipe pas assez. Le personnel envoi toutes les infos nécessaires bien en avance pour faciliter cela.
- anne (9/5): Excellent séjour ! - L'emplacement était fabuleux. L'hôtel se trouve sur une île du Nil en amont d' Assouan. Toutes les chambres ont une vue sur le fleuve qui se trouve à 10 mètres. Bissou le manager est très accueillant et nous a organisé deux magnifiques journées d'excursion ainsi que nos transferts pour l'aéroport. Les repas proposés manquent de fruits et les quantités sont un peu justes.
- Andrea (9/5): -
- Alessandra Maria (9/5): - Struttura molto accogliente! Nulla
- mary (9/5): Brilliant chef produces delicious meals , breakfast and dinner - This is a totally unique place and while not everyone’s cup of tea we had as amazing time . The wonderful staff even organised a birthday party for me with a homemade cake -very appreciative of this gesture Boat access can be a little tricky
- Yu (9/5): - The location is unique and the owner Bassem is very kind to arrange different trips for us.
- Christine (10/5): Absolutely amazing - one of my favorite hotels! :) - Nala Narty is one of my favorite hotels ever! I loved it from the first moment I arrived - it's such a hidden gem on a peaceful island with original Nubian-style houses and the most incredible view of the Nile directly from the bed.
What made the stay especially outstanding was Sherif's (owner) hospitality - he surprised me with two freshly home-made cakes just for my birthday!! You can really feel how much he cares about his guests having an amazing experience, also helping with local recommendations and organizing trips.
We also went kayaking in the protected area at sunset - was magical, so can highly recommend. Their breakfast and smoothies are also amazing.
I will definitely be returning soon, thank you! :) Text them if you know where/when you'll take the shuttle boat, so they can make sure you're picked up.
- Monica (10/5): - La struttura è semplicemente fantastica, sembra una piccola oasi di paradiso immersa nella natura. Perfetta se si cerca pace e tranquillità.
La camera con vista Nilo in stile nubiano è top!
Cibo di ottima qualità e staff gentile e super disponibile!
Il gestore bisoo semplicemente fantastico, ci ha organizzato tutto nel dettaglio: escursioni, spostamenti ecc.. TOP Nulla ci è piaciuto tutto!
L’unica cosa è che per muoversi bisogna spostarsi per forza in barca e a volte può essere tanto bello quanto scomodo 🤪
- Nicolas (8/5): - Accueil personnalisé. Bon dîner. Le petit déjeuner
- Eva (10/5): Extraordinär upplevelse ♥️♥️♥️ - Det låg på en egen ö. Det var verkligen ”gröna vågen”. Egenodlad mat, mest vegetariskt. Allt var naturmaterial, ursprungligt, äkta. Jätte trevlig personal! Ingenting.
- Yinxue (8/5): - Room, envit I have to wait for the boat.
- Maria (10/5): Amazing location, very helpful and friendly staff, an overall authentic experience. Definitely recommend it -
- vincent (9/5): -
- Alexander (6/5): Extremely unique ecoresort with caring owner marred by loud noise and theft - The owner is passionate about his property. He is quick to reply to all messages and takes personal responsibility to show you around and explain all the details. He interacts with all his guests at breakfast offering tips and suggestions. We had a birthday dinner and he made it extra special in many ways.
Also, our kids absolutely LOVED the corgi and kitten! The biggest problem is that the Nubian village across the narrow Nile had TWO wedding nights which are literally all night parties going until 6 AM! It was impossible to sleep as the music blasted all night long. Apparently this is a Nubian thing and if it's on during your stay there's nothing you can do about it.
The next big problem is that one of the employees stole my earphones. The owner did his best to check the room to make sure it wasn't misplaced and also followed up with offering to pay for them (I declined). I hate to blame the property for this as the owner is a really nice guy but it happened.
- Nicolas (1/5): Disorganized transfers, unfriendly boat service, and disappointing “breakfast included” - We left with a very negative impression because several basic things were poorly organized and handled unprofessionally.
On 14 January, more than a month in advance, I requested a taxi transfer to the airport. When we arrived at the hotel, it turned out nothing had been arranged and there was no record of the request, so I had to ask for everything again. In the end, we were told the day before departure that no taxi/van was available.
Leaving early in the morning was far from smooth. We had requested everything in advance, yet we still had to wake the boat driver twice. He was clearly unhappy about being woken up and helping with our luggage felt like a burden and very much against his will. We eventually left about 10 minutes late.
Because this was the second time we needed breakfast boxes, and our children didn’t like the contents, I asked if something else could be provided. I was promised two extra loaves of bread. Next to the four breakfast boxes I saw two additional packages and took them—assuming those were the promised items. The boat driver disagreed and told us we had to return them. He then called his manager and only then it was “okay.” This situation was unnecessarily stressful, especially right before heading to the airport. Also, we booked a stay including breakfast, but this can hardly be called breakfast: we received no drinks at all, not even water or juice.
After the boat transfer off the island, we still needed transport to the airport. Since no taxi/van was available, they arranged a small bus/van for an extra fee, but it had no proper luggage space. We had to place all suitcases on the seats and sit cramped together on the last row—uncomfortable and not what you expect when paying extra for an airport transfer.
Honestly, instead of an “extensive welcome,” we would have preferred basic professionalism: clear communication, reliable planning, and a respectful goodbye.
- Annalisa (9/5): Beautiful comfy and organic 🥰 - The rooms are very peculiar
And all around the organic farm
We had an amazing dinner and breakfast there with all the local products Absolutely nothing
- ZIJIE (10/5): -
- Edward (9/5): - Great experience to be on this island in the Nile. Very relaxing surroundings. Nice room with a view onto the river. The host helped to organise our visits, advising us on what to do and arranging transport to different locations.
- Kim (9/5): Very special place - This is an unusual property on a small island in the Nile. The design is unique and the owners are special -- very eager to help you navigate (literally) your Aswan experience and your stay at the hotel. Sharif is full of knowledg5e and enthusiasm about the area and even Cairo. The food at breakfast and dinner is simple but good and much of it is grown on the farm. The hotel has a free boat shuttle every hour to Aswan and Nubian Village. If you are looking for a relaxing and very interesting experience -- while you still have the option to see the local sights-- this is for you. It would be great if the hotel offered snacks for purchase so guests don't have to leave the island for lunch. There are some management problems, which are to be expected in this off-the-beaten path location and are easily overlooked.

- Susanna (9/5): beautiful gem in the Nile! - wow!! such a beautiful gem in the middle of the Nile! I loved my stay, the owner so nice and friendly and helpful, and also the rest of the staff. They have a big garden with vegs, fruits, lovely animals (special mention to Adas and Zazu), how amazing was just walking around with your cup of tea and enjoying the vibes :)
definitely will be back in the future!

- Annick (9/5): Un séjour paisible et authentique au bord du Nil - Un havre de paix hors du temps à Assouan. Installé au bord de l’eau, loin de l’agitation, cet endroit offre une tranquillité et un paysage apaisants. Le dîner typique en plein air, au bord du Nil, a été un moment mémorable et délicieux. Une expérience authentique que nous n’oublierons pas. En revanche, il manquait du shampooing et peut-etre un distributeur de boissons fraiches car on est loin de tout.
- Radwa (8/5): The property is nicely designed, the owner was welcoming and always there for any questions, it appeared like a small fa - The cure was welcoming Shower drains
- Shahd (10/5): -
- Jewel (10/5): Amazing stay, would definitely recommend for anyone visiting. - The property was stunning, Sherif the host was extremely hospitable, and it was a great, peaceful location in Aswan. Nothing! Loved everything.
- Miralda (10/5): Posizione meravigliosa in una struttura suggestiva nella pace più assoluta - il personale molto gentile, ci ha fatto fare comunque colazione anche se erano le 6 del mattino alla nostra partenza, colazione top con falafel fatti al momento buonissimi e prodotti locali fatti da loro , marmellate, verdure e uova!
posto molto bello e immerso nella natura.. NIENTE
- Vi (8/5): - It's a great vibe if you're looking for a relaxing stay away from the hassle of touristy spots. The breakfast and dinner are wonderful. It was handy to have a shuttle boat available. The owner, Sherif, is very knowledgeable, helpful and responsive to requests. The bathrooms are a bit small and the shower splashes everywhere. There is limited storage space in the rooms, even a table would've been handy.
- marc (10/5): - Le concept nubien, l'accueil, le calme et la simplicité.

- Sasha (9/5): -
- yannick (6/5): Dépaysement assuré prix excessif - La vue et les conseils du propriétaire Le rapport qualité prix
- Sunita (9/5): Quaint and a wonderful stay at Nala Narty. The owners are fabulous and helped us with our itinerary. - Rooms are lovely and tastefully done. The view was lovely. More plug points for charging phones and laptops. Wifi please!
- Jane (9/5): Extremely relaxing, beautiful location. - Fantastic location and very helpful owner. It’s only been open a year so still a few things. shower needs shelf or built in shower products. Soap dish would be nice and hooks for towels as the shower can overflow you need somewhere to hang your towel.
- Amali (10/5): Overall the best quality accommodation I have ever stayed at. - We stayed 2 nights at Nala Narty and we had the most incredible experience. The actual property is amazing. It’s on an island in the middle of the Nile with organic farms, animals, and buildings that imitate the Nubian houses (with a luxurious twist). They offer great activities and delicious, traditional style meals with live Nubian music. The place is absolutely stunning and we loved our time relaxing there. But the highlight of our stay were the owners Sherif and May. Every morning at breakfast they spend time with each person to go through their plans for the day and help organise everything. They went above and beyond as hosts to ensure our trip is amazing, not just in Aswan, but for our entire Egypt trip. They provided contacts and itineraries catered to us for every place in Egypt we were going. After we had checked out and moved on to our next location, we stayed in contact and he continued to help us with any concerns. If we felt unsafe he came and walked us back to our new accommodation. We are so appreciative for their help on this trip and don’t know how to thank them. This hotel has had the highest level of hospitality I have ever experienced in all of my travels. We highly recommend Nala Narty. No negative feedback
- Donatella (9/5): Assez cher pour l'Egypte - Très charmant, tout est biologique mais emplacement pas super pratique Assez cher, pas de wi-fi
- NATHALIE (9/5): Endroit calme et atypique sur les bords du Nil - très bel découverte; endroit calme sur les bords du Nil en face du village Nubien
Chambres magnifiques donnant sur le Nil et lits très confortables Les horaires des navettes bateau sont très espacés donc si on en loupe 1, il faut attendre quasiment 2 heures pour la prochaine sinon obligé de prendre un transfert privé donc de payer
Le diner que l'hôtel propose est typique mais pas très copieux; niveau viande on reste un peu sur notre faim et pas de desserts ni boisson proposés
- Giorgia (10/5): - Tutto perfetto. Posizione incantevole e cibo dleizioso
- Nadia (10/5): Nala Narty is a gem in Aswan - The comfort room, the delicious food, the unique energy.
I chose Nala Narty to celebrate my birthday and it was simply amazing.
I would love to stay longer if I hadn’t limited time.
- EUN YEONG (9/5): So speical stay in Aswan - The hotel was beautiful, and peaceful—such a perfect place to rest during our journey in Egypt. The breakfast was absolutely delicious!
Thank you so much for the Nala Narty experience. It became an unforgettable memory of our honeymoon, and I would definitely recommend it to others! 😊👍🏽 The dinner felt a little less impressive for the price, compared to the breakfast. Though it was still tasty.
- Lorinda (10/5): -
- Louise (10/5): Le meilleur séjour de mon voyage égyptien - La chambre était merveilleuse, la vue au réveil était un moment presque irréel.
la sérénité et le calme de l’ile ou se situaient l’airbnb était formidable.
le propriétaire des lieux était au petit soin et nous a offert et servi le meilleur diner et le meilleur petit déjeuner que nous avons déguster durant tout notre séjour égyptien.
Il nous a également aider à organiser et a penser la fin de notre séjour pour nous donner un maximun de tranquillité d’esprit et pour ca nous le remercions infiniment !
Les prestations que nous offrent cet airbnb sont incroyable, nous recommandons ! Tout était parfait
- Sandra (10/5): PARADIS SUR LE NIL - Nos 2 nuits à NALA NARTY ont été comme un véritable rêve.
Il faut bien comprendre le fonctionnement de l’hôtel qui est très bien expliqué à l’avance.
C’est une famille nubienne locale qui vit sur place et qui s’occupe de votre confort et de vos repas (excellents) et le propriétaire gère à distance via whatsapp.
Il sait tout organiser et prévoir pour que tout se passe à la perfection pour vous.
Il m’a même fait préparer une recette spéciale de sa grand mère pour soigner mes maux de ventre.
Vous avez également une navette fluviale gratuite avec un capitaine d’une extrême gentillesse. Cerise sur le gâteau vous pouvez vous baigner dans le Nil en toute sécurité devant l’hôtel, c’est rarissime. Bravo à toute l’équipe et merci pour ces moments de bonheur. All the best NALA NARTY ❤️
