Nubian Holiday House Aswan

老板高大帅气，有求必应，多次帮我们和当地租车司机沟通讲价，耐心解答我们各种疑问，我们凌晨四点多出发去阿布辛贝，他在花园里一直没睡，等到把我们送上车。房子很度假风，离码头五分钟路程。早餐不错，如果早出发去阿布辛贝，会打包好早餐放在冰箱里，我们拿在路上吃就行了。晚餐是妈妈做的努比亚餐，味道也能适应。有两只可爱小猫和一条帅气的狼犬。不过位置在西岸，市区过去的轮渡最晚七点，所以不能任意玩得太晚，如果是打车或者租车进去，路非常非常远而且很烂。

Bed is comfortable, breakfast is delicious, transportation is easy(but ferries also charge you extra and extra in comparison to local.)

Hard to adjust air conditioner, selling water, no facility to benefit, hotel organised airport shuttle 5x expensive (I think this must be a law that every tourist must be ripped off, nothing special to the facility)

Eu já conhecia o alojamento. A sua paz, o seu café da manhã, a vista, a gentileza do seu staff, tudo me fez amar Aswan. É a terceira vez que venho aqui.

Gostei de tudo.

Hospitalité, propreté, quiétude, repas, excursions, tout était parfait. Merci !

Le cadre était magnifique et authentique Reposant et adapté aux enfants

L'emplacement au village Nubien, le calme, la proximité avec le ferry boat. La chambre propre et spacieuse. Le petit déjeuner généreux mais..

Les petits pains congelés impossible à manger car trop durs. Incompréhension sur la chambre, attention certaines salles de bain sont en dehors des chambres. Nous avons réussi à avoir une salle d'eau privative merci. Literie inconfortable.

Der Hotelverantwortliche Hanni war sehr nett, hilfsbere und kommunikativ, ebenso war die Lage gut und ruhig.

Im Zimmer gab es keine wirklichen Ablageflächen, im Schrank waren dicke Decken, die allerdings zur Benutzung über die Laken wenig vertrauenswürdig wirkten. Badezimmer und v.a. Küche waren sehr schmutzig (vom gespülten Geschirr, Herd, Schränke, tatsächlich alles...) und schmuddlig. Anfangs meinte Hanni, dass die Küche benutzt werden könne, nahm dann aber wieder Abstand davon. Die in der Austattung angegebenen Merkmale wie Garten, Restaurant gab es nicht, auch keine Pflegemittel im Bad. Wir blieben zwei Nächte, zweimal kam es zu einem Wasserausfall, darunter am Morgen der Abfahrt (dafür konnte der Besitzer aber vermutlich nichts).

la strada per arrivarci

Très bien situé, au calme, proche de la nature, et accueil excellent

Our stay was simply wonderful! The family is incredibly warm and caring – the boys were able to provide everything we wished for. The location of the accommodation was perfect: just one minute to the Nile, where you can enjoy the sunrise every morning. In the afternoon, a visit to Qubbet el-Hawa is highly recommended, where you can stay until sunset and admire the breathtaking view over the city. The accommodation itself is even more beautiful than shown in the photos. And last but not least, the delicious food deserves special mention – it left us without any desire to go to restaurants.

Tolle Unterkunft, schöne, ruhige Lage. Ziemlich abseits gelegen, aber dafür authentisch. Habib hat mir geholfen meine Zeit in Aswan zu geniessen (Transfer, Abu Simbel, Boot, Dinner). Er half mir auch mein verspätetes Gepäck zu finden. Ich empfehle für den Winter den privaten Transfer nach Abu Simbel, der ist teuer, aber für die lange Fahrt lohnt es sich. Man muss nicht mitten in der Nacht los und hat mehr Zeit vor Ort. Das Zimmer ist einfach, aber sauber und geräumig.

Alles top. Gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Sehr freundlich. Gutes Essen.

おしゃれで小綺麗な建物。特に屋上のレストランからはナイル川が見えて、素敵な時間を過ごせます。 フェルッカに乗りたいと相談したらすぐに手配してくれて、ホテルのすぐ裏から乗れました。最高の体験になりました。他にもいろいろと相談すると手配してくれるのでとても助かりました。皆さん親切です。

バスタブ付きの部屋にしたが、満足に浸かれる分のお湯が足りない。シャワーのみだと割り切ること。

建物のデザインがかわいい！広い！ゆっくりできる。 アブシンベル神殿のキャンプを急遽お願いしたが対応してくれた！

エアコンの音がうるさい。ボートで街のある東側に渡れるけど不便。空港までの送迎を頼むと高くなる。 朝食は、早い時間に外出したのでボックスを持たせてくれたけど、パンがとても堅かった。

Super nette Familie, schöne Anlage, Blick auf den Nil, geräumige Zimmer, nubisches Essen.

Etwas umständlich über das kleine Fährboot nach Assuan zu kommen. Aber auch kein Problem

Buen desayuno, hotel limpio y con aire, buena vista desde la terraza, el personal es muy amable

La ubicación, si o si debes tomar una lancha con los locales para cruzar. El wifi no funciona muy bien desde la habitación

Es una hermosa casa ubicada en el centro del pueblo, Habibi el administrador es una gran persona que me ayudo con todos los contactos necesario para cumplir mis expectativas de turismo en la ciudad. Tuve una habitacion hermosa y limpia, ademas de lo deliciosa de la comida. La vista al lago Nilo es preciosa, y la posibilidad accesible de recorrer en bote el lugar lo hace aun mas perfecto, muchas gracias mi querido amigo, es un lugar del que no dan ganas de irse, y sin pensarlo volvería. Super recomendable.

The staff is very friendly and kind always looking to make me feel comfortable. The food is amazing they have local family food which is very nice. A very beautiful views, clean and amazing. I would 100% reccommend if you are willing to relax a couple days from the city caos. That guest house is amazing.

This is an excellent choice for anyone who likes to stay apart from the hustle and bustle of the city itself. The village is calm and friendly, although of course rather dilapidated and trash-strewn outside the walls of the guest house (which is neat and well-maintained). Meals are served, including a boxed breakfast when I had to be gone very early for a tour, and transport arrangements are made on your behalf when requested. The family is calm, respectful, and attentive to any needs, and even the dogs are friendly despite their thick coats and lethargy in the heat.

The remoteness is a mixed blessing. On the one hand, the ferry is just a short walk away, and at 10 LE per ride is a great bargain in addition to offering chances to interact with local people and occasional other tourists. On the other hand, it starts running at 6:00am while most Abu Simbel tours leave from the city earlier than that. The guesthouse arranged a private boat for me (300LE), but this was a bit stressful. Similarly, taxis to and from the airport or train station are an added complexity (and reasonable expense) if you, like I, are not able to maneuver full luggage on and off the ferry. On the other hand, I did not find it terribly inconvenient to pop over to the other side to buy train tickets or make other purchases. The village does have a few little shops selling basics, but Ramadan has made it difficult to tell just how much would normally be available. Local villagers are generally quite welcoming and not manipulative, but of course there are bits of “I am doing this just for friendship but oh dear my feelings will be very hurt if you don’t tip me.”

Peaceful location in a typical Nubian village … away from the buzz of Aswan

Towels were so dirty and yellowish There are no transportation means. We had to use the boat if the adjacent guest house everyday.

My sister and I stayed at this hostel in Aswan, bahar was friendly, Nubian aunt cooked local food was delicious, there was a music bar nearby, small shop, big dog jaxi and her son haha. Compared to Aswan across the street, it's quiet and comfortable, and the dining bar on the second floor looks out over the Nile.

Tranquil, beautiful, family run accommodation. Habibi and his nephews did everything to make the most relaxing, comfortable, wonderful stay. Authentic, fresh cooked, meals and daily cleaning service. Airport pick up was there waiting with sign to find easily, thank you Sammy! Habibi also organised a sun' set sail on the Nile and took me for a motor boat trip another day. Boat to East Bank 5-10 minute walk and only 10 EGP, runs regularly. Definitely picked the right side of the Nile to stay on, extremely relaxing, staying there was a great addition to my trip!

Perfect place to stay in Aswan. Beautiful views across the Nile to Aswan. You can see the chaos but not be part of it. Although it’s a quick & cheap ferry ride (E£10) to get there. Everything is very clean and tidy. The room was lovely with a beautiful dome ceiling (room 7). Showers were good. They had aircon if needed. WiFi is a bit patchy but works. Breakfast is included and very filling. The Tomb of Mekhu and Sabni is just a 7mins walk. They charge tourists E£75 students, E£150 for Adults. From there you walk up to the Dome of Abu Al-Hawa, which has great views.

Transport from the airport. If you don’t want to have to negotiate for ages and be driven all over, instead of directly to your hotel, better to arrange with the hotel for E£400 beforehand. If you download ’indrive’ app you can order the taxi for E£160-200 but you will need WiFi. You can buy a Sim from Vodafone in Aswan for 20GB data for E£485. They charge E£300 for dinner. It’s a nice meal but prepared in their own time, so you might be pretty hungry by the time it arrives. Hint - ensure what you communicate is understood. Dinners in restaurants outside can range from E£50-300 without alcohol.

A really great find... This traditional house was such a treat... The location was also really quiet (on the west side) but only 5 mins walk from the public ferry... The views were stunning... the staff were really warm and friendly... Overall, a great experience and great value for money... Will definitely return...

Nothing... everything was great!

Considering the number of great reviews, I was expecting a fantastic place, but was badly let down except by the staff, who were indeed fantastic, especially Baher. It is essentially a house that has been converted to a guest house. On the plus side, it is cheap and has very large bed rooms and bathrooms. The food is made in house and reflects the local cuisine, and felt very authentic. I loved the two large, friendly dogs who treated everyone as friends.

If you are planning to book here, there are a number of things you should be aware of. First, it is on the opposite bank of the Nile from the rest of the city, and you have to take a ferry to get to the place, or go on a long, round about route if you take a car. Getting to the ferry involves some climbing stairs. From the ferry you have to either walk 500 meters or take an auto rickshaw to the hotel. Both are ordeals during the summer, when temperatures can hit 47 degree Celsius. The room had not been cleaned properly after the last visitor and there was rubbish in the dustbins. The soap used by the previous occupant had not been replaced. The knob controlling the water flowing between the tap and the shower was broken. The property does not have a generator and we were without air conditioning during a 30 minute "power cut" when it was 45 degrees Celsius outside. There was no water in the bathroom during the night.

I was so happy with the idea to stay in that place on the west bank of Nile. It was perfect choise, accomodation is very authentic, owners are really nice, we had dinner from Nubian mom, which I can fully recomend. Accomodation is basic, but clean and suficient. When I was cold during the night hosts gave me another blanket. It's very easy to reach the east bank with local ferry. I can fully recommend.

Nothing.

Lovely authentic Nubian house with very helpful friendly staff. Beautiful location overlooking the Nile from the very nice roof terrace to watch the boats sailing by. Local ferry to Aswan was a highlight. Easy to visit the Noble tombs as close by and worth visiting with amazing views.

The beds were a little uneven Sometimes the dogs barked at night

Location, hospitality, food, smiles, quietness, safety,

Actually it was a good experience,

If I just have to rate the room, the location, the welcome-service and the clean it would be a 10/10. Do it. Wonderful. Clean, silent, good atmosphere for the room. Love a rooftop. Go for a morning walk and you get aaaall the good stereotypical things about Egypt and enjoy it: A little sandy desert, camels, the Nile, palms, cows^^

But... We eat and drink there (beside the includet breakfast) and booked a trip (to Abu Simbel for sure) and there our problems startet: - beverage prices are not the actual price on the shown list and are airport prices (don't come for me it's just a Euro when you're wining about triple prices at the airport for more beverage) - she's a wonderful person and a great cook! . Skip the soup. Dinning is 200 LE pPp with meat. (not cheap) First night we choose chicken, was more bones but fresh. The vegetables are fantastic! So good! Wish there was only this opportunity because it was so good and we need no meat. - We really have a problem with the trip to Abu Simbel. We paid 100$ without hotel to hotel transfer. Without a meal etc. Till this day I had a trust with handling. I asked about the price time before but they answered so late that we had to accept it or cancel it. Year, otherwise..

I like the view from the roof top restaurant and also friendliness of the staff.

The lack of choice for restaurants nearby.

The place in reality is much better than how it is presented in the pictures. There are also two sunbeds in the common area. There is also a tv, but without English channels. Rooms are quite (no noise from the street) and have been recently renovated. Of course you hear the boats in the Nile and the nearby mosque. Furniture is simple but nice. Normally it is difficult to find in Egypt such a charming place presented in a simple way. Taking the ferry to Aswan is very simple and super cheap. In the village when you walk everybody says hello and welcome. You feel super safe. In this Aswan is very different... It is also safe but turists are harrassed. Frankly we liked very much this place.

The host was extremely warm and patient. We had an issue with the payment as they didn't have machine to accept card and we didn't have cash. He was patient with us to work out situation through bank transfer. Staff is very nice and considerate. They packed us a breakfast bag since we had a tour at 4 am in morning!

The family that manages the place is lovely. They're very helpful. Breakfast is included and dinner was a very reasonable 200 EGP (prices are subject to change so don't quote me!). You do have to let them know in advance if you want dinner. The rooftop is a nice place to hangout. The rooms are pretty much what you'd expect. The only thing to mention is that the showers are country-style. There's just a shower in the bathroom without any barriers. After you're done you have a squeegee to clean the water up. It's a little different if you're not used to it but it's very common in that neck of the woods. I chose this place because it was not in Aswan proper; it's in West Aswan (Gharb Aswan). It's not for people who expect luxury in a western-style environment. Go to Aswan proper and pay 10-times as much if that's what you want. This is a exquisitely beautiful place in a traditional (read dirt roads village) town. For touristy stuff you'll want to take the ferry. To get to Aswan proper you have to take a ferry, which is 5 minutes up the road from where you're staying. It costs 10EGP. Just hand them that. It didn't happen to me there, but it's happened to me in other places in Egypt where the ferry guy will not give you change or correct change. On my first night I got up before dawn and went to the top of the nearby (right next to the ferry) Tomb of the Nobles and Dome of Al Hawa. There is someone at the bottom, before you go up the stairs, that will ask you for 150EGP. That's the actual legit price. I told the guy I preferred to go alone and didn't want a guide or minder. I went up top and experienced a beautiful sunrise. Amongst my favorite memories. Enjoy!

Nothing!

Amazing location on the Nile. Comfortable rooms, helpful and friendly staff, incredible food. Will stay here again.

The communal area such as lounge and dining area are very comfortable. The roof top dining area has great view of the Nile. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful especially Bahir. Breakfast and dinners were delicious. There is a nice garden outside. We were also allowed to use their large washing machine and helped us with our wash.

There was no separate shower or enclosed showers. So the bathroom floor got quite wet.

Cosy environment and friendly host.

This small hotel was a last minute booking and it sorprised me and my coworker, rooms are really comfy and the best part its the view, hotel its located right at the Nile, sunrises are just amazing, they have a great terrace in beduin style and they offered breakfast. also staff is super friendly and they always want to help.

If you dont have a car this place might not be for you since its far away from the main atractions in Aswaan.

very quiet. Nice view of the Nile from the roof and tumbs.

No water was provided for drinking. You have to purchase your own.

The place itself is gorgeous, very clean, and complete with scenic views of the Nile. I woke up to a breakfast on a shaded balcony beholding green Nile farmland and delicate feleucas cruising the waterways. Our room itself was spacious, decorated with a cedar wardrobe and chest, and possessed AC. The bathroom was huge and contained a bathtub with jets. Moreover, every person on staff was exceedingly friendly and polite, going above and beyond to make us feel at home. We found them to be trustworthy and genuinely kind. This is my husband's second time staying here, since he liked it so much; we hope to come again in the future!

I really enjoyed the secluded location and the view of the tombs nearby, which are lit up beautifully at night. However, if you're looking for somewhere more in central Aswan and little more bustling, I would recommend going on the other side of the Nile. For me, this side was a quiet, peaceful retreat after a long day exploring :)

Everything!!! We were a group of 5 persons and i can say each of us were pleased to stay at habib s place We want to thank Habib for his help his availibilty and his positive attitude! We RECOMMAND 100% Nubian Holiday House! if i had to return in aswan i will for sure stay at Habib s place! The room were very clean!The breakfast was also very good ! we left the place during the night and Habib prepared us take away breakfast for each of us! We appreciated everything!

Nothing

Cute little off the beaten track guesthouse. MUCH quieter than the other side. Can take the boat over for 5EGP one way. Rooms were very clean.

It seemed like they turned off the water at night and we were not informed. Had an early flight and had to leave at 5am and had no water to brush teeth or even flush the toilet.

The family running the place is fantastic. So attentive and kind. Habibi helped arranged what I needed, airport pick up, tours, etc. The terrace view of the Nile was amazing! Room was basic but enough for what I needed!

Nothing.

the view and the staff

This hotel was excellent. Habibi, Gigi, and Baher made sure we were comfortable during our stay. The food Gigi prepares is delicious! She was able to cook a vegan meal for us on short notice, and it was great! The hotel is beautiful, the rooms are large and comfortable for you, and you need to get on a faluka boat to reach it. Although it sounds like a hassle, it is only a 10-minute ride at maximum. I recommend this hotel.

Nothing. Our stay was great!

Best place in Assuan...we spent a wonderful time here again...

The house is so beautiful and well taken care of, with a lovely terrace and nice Nile views. Room was spacious and comfortable, staff was always smiling and the breakfast was good. Noble temples and the ferry to East Bank Aswan are 5 minutes away walking, so the location is great. A special thanks to Mr. Habib who is a kind man and knows how to do business.

Excellent breakfast. The diner ladies cooks exceptionally well.

Mr Habib and his family were the nicest people we met in Egypt. His sister is a wonderful cook and so modest about it and the kids are great. The place was very clean and they helped us with everything we needed without ever asking for anything. They even made us a breakfast box to take with us if we went out early. There are some friendly and well cared for pets in the place which speaks to the kind of people they are. Say hello to Jessie for us!

amazing property, very good location, best hosts you could find

The calm location, just opposite side of river, with a essy public ferry .

Bed Matrasses

Lovely location on the West Bank with the ferry to the other side located around the corner. Excellent food (breakfast and lunch), probably the best we have had in Egypt altogether. The room was very spacious with a comfortable mattress, good air conditioning (very needed when it’s 42 degrees outside) and great wifi.

We liked everything.

The family in charge of the house is very nice and helpful. The rooms are clean. There’s a nice rooftop (though dusty) overlooking the Nile where you can enjoy your meals. For approx 25 USD/night, it was all right. You get what you pay for :)

I think the main issue we had was with the owner. The morning of our departure, he called us on one of the employees’ phone and asked us to pay (in cash) a higher amount than what we had booked for. We lost a good 30 minutes arguing over the phone. Otherwise it’s small issues; for the price of the room (about 25 USD/night), it was good in general. - Our shower drain was completely blocked, so on the first morning, the bathroom floor was covered with the another room’s dirty shower water… Then when we showered, we just added to the problem, and the water went all the way into our bedroom. We explained the problem and they moved us to another room, so that was well taken care of. - The beds were not very comfortable; you can feel each spring of the mattress. - Breakfast was not amazing, but it wasn’t horrible either. We had one dinner there, and it was not very diverse and generous (3 pieces of chicken for 4 people, rice and fries). But for the price, I guess it was ok.
