Nuba Tod Abouda Guest House

We loved everything!!! It was clean and micele decorated. The location is great - we also had Nile and desert view. The host was really welcoming and helped us a lot. The breakfast in the morning was delicious. We had to leave early in the morning but the host arrenged a private boat for us.

No podría haber elegido un mejor lugar para quedarnos en Aswan. El Nuba Tod resultó ser un tesoro, no solo por la comodidad y limpieza de la habitación y la agradable terraza en el techo, sino por la extraordinaria hospitalidad de Abouda, que nos abrió las puertas de su casa, su familia y su territorio. Cualquier cosa que necesites, confía en que él te ayudará a organizarlo con generosidad y dedicación. Si no lo has hecho ya, reserva en Nuba Tod y pídele ayuda para organizar actividades, desde visitar templos, hasta un día en las aldeas Nubias, o un paseo en felucca. ¡Recomendado!

Todo impecable.ß

Abouda es un anfitrión muy amable, ayuda a que tu estadía sea muy cómoda

Upstairs seating was a lovely place to relax and hist Mohammed was very helpful in organising trips and spending time with is. Also loved how it was an authentic design. Would definitely stay again 👍

Bathroom was very small.

C’était un plaisir de se retrouver dans l’hôtel de Mohamed aussi bien pour son accueil chaleureux entouré de boissons à l’hibiscus que pour ses discussions autour de la culture nubienne. Les chambres étaient confortables avec une décoration agréable. Le top est le toit-terrasse carrelé avec vue sur le Nil ainsi que la localisation sur l’île Éléphantine sans voiture, un petit havre de paix au milieu du tumulte. Et ses tours organisés autour d’Assouan étaient de très bonne qualité sans pépin.

Tolle Terrasse, Gefühl wie zuhause Sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Vermieter, Gefühl wie zuhause gute Angebote von Ausflügen Vielfältiges Frühstück.

Struttura pulitissima e confortevole sull isola elefantina a pochi minuti dal public ferry e vicina a ristorantini. Abouda parla benissimo inglese e ti aiuta ad organizzare qualsiasi trasporto ed escursione a buoni prezzi. Ottima colazione! Molto consigliato per chi viaggia fai da te!!

Niente

Le propriétaire est très serviable. Il nous a beaucoup aidé. Le roof top est joliment décoré avec une belle vue sur la rivière.

Le petit dejeuner mérite d'être amélioré. La description de la vue sur booking ne correspond pas.

Très bon accueil. Le propriétaire nous reçoit sur le rooftop à notre arrivée. Très belle vue sur Assouan et sur le Nil dont nous profitons tous les matins pendant le petit déjeuner et en soirée. Le propriétaire est passionné par sa culture nubienne et adore la partager. Les chambres sont très propres. Rien à redire; à conseiller sans restriction. Abuda vous aidera si nécessaire à organiser votre journée à Abou Simbel, ou à explorer les lieux à pied, en voiture ou en felouque.

The view from the roof terrace and its arrangement is fantastic. The host is always willing to help out. He took us aroud his village in the Elephantine island, in a morning we were out of tour.

The bathroom: the sink is in the bedroom and it is too small. The shower has not curtain so you wet the whole room and it's not possible to use it for someone else after you had a shower. No floor cloth anyway

Me encantó mi estancia de dos noches en Nuba Tod Abouda. Mohamed nos recibió con un aperitivo en la maravillosa terraza con vistas al Nilo y la ciudad. Fue muy atento en todo momento y el último día cuando salimos muy temprano, nos preparó el desayuno para llevar. Todo muy cómodo y limpio.La isla tiene fácil acceso en barca, funcionan durante todo el día.Muy recomendable

The operator, Mr M. Abouda is an excellent host. He keeps a very tight ship. He is always responsive to requests, maintenance, or inquiries. And he's always able to resolve issues on the fly. The room was absolutely spotless. Everything worked and whenever there was an issue, he resolved it immediately.

The bathroom is a bit tight. There's also an issue that is expected given the rural setting, but can be an issue for many travellers especially given how spotless the home itself is, which is the animal feces right outside the main entrance.

I loved the view from the rooftop, and quiet location. The owner was very friendly.

Airport pick up did not work out somehow.

L’hospitalité était top. Bon petit déjeuner. Le rooftop est magnifique! Il y a une belle vue et on peut s’y reposer au soleil ou à l’ombre à tout moment.

L’excursion organisée était un peu chère je pense. Et il ne fait pas chaud dans les chambres. Je recommande aussi de prendre des boules quies si vous avez le sommeil fragile.

Spotlessly clean room and amazingly comfortable bed. Friendly host serving a tasty breakfast (especially the ful) on a lovely rooftop with great views. Good location close to the ferry landing, a good bar (Bob Marley) and a decent restuatant (King Jamaica). Very quiet and peaceful.

The shower was a little cramped. Tours can be arranged, but at high agency prices.

Ottima accoglienza e posizione per visitare sia l’isola che la città. Il proprietario è estremamente gentile e ha organizzato per noi le escursioni ad Abu Simbel e File. Splendida terrazza vista fiume!

Gentil accueil du gérant. Emplacement top sur l'île.

- Chambres trop sommaires à notre goût. - Pas de lit double pour nous (couple). - Désaccord sur le coût convenu pour le 3è matelas (pour notre 3è enfant). Il me semble que nous avions convenu par tel 15US$ mais une fois sur place c'était 15€. - 10€ (+ de 500 EGP) demandés pour les 3 minutes de bateau pour rejoindre l'embarcadère, ce qui est beaucoup au regard des prix pratiqués en Egypte. Le ferry public lui coûte 15 EGP / p. Ce sont des "détails" mais qui rendent l'expérience moins agréable avec ce sentiment de n'être, en tant que touriste, qu'un portefeuille sur pattes.

Struttura accogliente, perfetta se si cerca la tipica atmosfera nubiana. Il simpaticissimo proprietario Mohamed è stato molto disponibile fin da subito e ci ha aiutati a risolvere problemi organizzativi con un’altra compagnia proponendoci altre soluzioni. Consiglio!

Mohamed and his son are such friendly hosts. The room was appealing and well appointed for the size. The rooftop terrace for breakfast was a highlight 😊

タクシーの手配をしてくれました。 とてもいいホストです。

🇹🇳🇹🇳🇹🇳🇹🇳 Excellent accueil, très bonne recommandation . Logement bien placé sur l’île éléphantine . La literie est propre et très confortable Mr Abouda très gentil et serviable et il maîtrise très bien l’anglais Nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour

Rent och fint. Mysig takterrass. Vänlig, hjälpsam värd som pratar bra engelska.

体验非常非常好，民宿老板是非常有趣善良的人。来的第一晚请我们喝茶一起聊天。老板会在我们早起时为我们亲手准备早餐。在这里也遇到有趣的小伙伴们一起跨年。非常推荐来这里，在尼罗河畔吃早餐、聊天，获得许多新体验。

The host was increadibly friendly and service oriented. The location is traditional, not luxurious but very clean and has what you need and specially the greatest rooftop for sunny breakfasts!

Mohammed. Aardige lieve man die je overal mee helpt en alles voor je kan regelen. Schone kamer en een heerlijke plek om te relaxen. Mooi uitzicht op de Nijl. Om de hoek zit restaurant Bob Marley waar je lekker kunt eten en een biertje of glas wijn kunt drinken

Niets

Camere semplici ma carine e pulite. Bagno un pochino piccolo ma pulito. Host molto accogliente e molto disponibile. Si arriva prendendo il traghetto pubblico dal molo vicino all'insegna del KFC (le barche partono ogni 10-15minuti).

All aspects of the accommodation were outstanding. The cleanliness, the assistance with anything you could need & the breakfast were all first class.

Nothing

We loved our stay at Nuba Tod Abouda. To start off, Mohamed really went out of his way to make our stay a great one. He sent his son to pick us up when we arrived late, gave us a warm welcome and helped us with restaurant tips and arranging a trip on the Nile. The rooms in the guesthouse are simple, clean and comfortable. The rooftop is amazing - both for breakfast and just relaxing. Good location on the island, close to the public ferry and restaurants. You can feel that this is a family who really want you to enjoy your stay - and we enjoyed every minute of it. If we ever come back to the Elephantine island we will stay with Mohamed for sure. Thank you!

Nothing really.

Mohammed was very attentive, very responsive to messages prior to booking, really helpful with ferry arrangements and local recommendations. His guided tour of the local village was good and im glad I didnt attempt it on my own. Was a great way to start my Egyptian holiday

房間很乾淨，浴室熱水水壓也不錯，房間也提供冷氣。冬天也有電暖爐，民宿老闆的服務非常的到位。如果帶行李箱的話一定要請老闆包船私人接送，碼頭會在民宿的正後方你碼頭很近。

浴室小了點洗澡不太方便

Central, staff helpfull, Nice Guest House

All good

The host, the location and the service!

Very nice Nubian mood and a beautiful view to the river from the top floor. The Elephantine island is a must see in Aswan, and although we were having some doubts before we get there the boat services to get across are 24/7, cheap and reliable, like every 10 minutes or so. Really appreciated the quiet of the place, especially after having spent time in busy cities. The room was sparkling clean, and Abouda is an amazing host, very chill and helpful. We highly recommend the boat tour around the islands and the Nubian village that he offers, good prices for an unforgettable trip in Nile.

Mohamed est très serviable et accueillant, il est le point fort de la guesthouse. La terrasse est agréable. Très bon rapport qualité-prix.

Il manquait un sèche-cheveux et du gel douche dans la chambre. La chambre est petite. Nous avons réservé 3 excursions avec Mohamed : nous sommes tombées sur des chauffeurs de taxi malhonnêtes, qui nous ont fait payer 30e de plus qu'auprès de quelqu'un d'autre et qui en plus ont emprunté des routes interdites pour les touristes (DOUBLANT ainsi le temps de trajet) pour éviter de passer par les postes de police, nous ont forcé à rester longtemps sur les sites culturels pour des raisons qui leur étaient personnelles alors que nous réservions un tour privé... et qui fumaient dans la voiture. J'ai fait un retour à Mohamed et il a dit qu'il allait changer de prestataire.

L’emplacement sur l’île Éléphantine et l’accueil chaleureux d’Abouda

Struttura molto ben tenuta, camera molto carina e terrazza panoramica. Molto gentile, accogliente e prodigo di informazioni l'host, mi manca il te sulla terrazza in sua compagnia. Veramente indimenticabile il soggiorno sull'isola Elefantina tra le sue bellezze naturali e la simpatia degli abitanti

Very friendly host helped us get a ferry early in the morning, the hotel has a great view on the rooftop.

La ubicación y la atención de Mohamed! El alojamiento de por sí es súper limpio y está muy bien situado. Tiene agua caliente, que en egipto a veces puede ser una situación complicada, así que la verdad que todo fue mejor de lo planeado. Quiero destacar que tuve un problema y Mohamed movió CIELO Y TIERRA para solucionarlo a tiempo!! Muchas gracias por todo :)

I had an amazing experience staying here—the room was spotlessly clean, and the host is truly dependable. They went above and beyond to assist with everything I needed, including booking a Nile sailboat ride, arranging a private car trip to Abu Simbel, and even providing airport transfers. Their help made my trip so much smoother, and their hospitality was outstanding. One small tip for future guests: it’s best to contact the host in advance to clarify how to get from the ferry port to the accommodation. Google Maps navigation isn’t entirely accurate for this route, but the host’s guidance ensures you won’t get lost.

Situé sur l'île Elephatine, la maison d'hôtes est tout ce qu'il y de beau dans la région. Une site exceptionnel et un hôte de grande qualité. très communicatif et serviable il m'a arrangé le transfert par bâteau avec un tarif local. L'accueil est à la hauteur d'un grand homme qui aime voyager et qui aime aussi recevoir. Nous avions eu de grands moment d'échanges et des discussions interminables. C'est un homme de valeur, ouvert et très sympatique. La chambre était bien rangée propre, avec eau chaude et climatisation. Le coup de coeur c'est la terrace. C'est le meilleur endroit de la maison. Merci beaucoup

Rien

The rooftop was good can overlook the Nile river.

Facility was not good, especially the aircon, which you cannot change the temperature. Bed was not comfortable, pillow was high and hard.

The owner was very great and helpful, helped us with getting ferries to the town as well as organising trips

There is another restaurant/accommodation closer to the place that plays music until late which was disturbing. Also, it is a bit difficult to get to the accomodation

Mohammed, the manager was extremely helpful, generous and accommodating. It was clean and comfortable and a very nice rooftop terrace.

we liked everything, especially Mohammed, who is so kind and generous, and took us around and took very good care of us

Nuba Tod is a perfect gateway to explore Elephantine Island. Mohammed, the nephew of the owner, was our host for this time and he went above and beyond in showing us the place and making us comfortable. It is quite special to get to know the island from his eyes and I am thankful for having shared dinner with him the night we arrived and had the chance to have a relaxed conversation about the place. Breakfast (paid extra) is well priced and worth it with a pretty view of the island and the Nile. The driver they hired for us to go to Abu Simbel and back was a gem, and it was a fair price. Rooms are clean and comfortable and cute Nubian deco. Great restaurants around. Very easy to go freely back to and from Aswan.

The bathroom is quite small. Also, be warned: no ATMs on the island unless you are prepared for a small adventure.

great location on atmospheric Nile Elephantine Island, villager walks/ hand made shopping products, exceptional view over Nile, boats, skyline...., superb host with extended family, 4 restaurants few minutes walk, 1 1 serving beers

beers for sun-downers need to be bought elsewhere

Location and layout is fabulous. It’s character filled in the best location on Elephantine Island. The private boat that picks you up is the best, and Mo Abouda and the team are so fabulous and welcoming.

Beds are a little bit hard, but everything else is fabulous!

The stay was excellent—clean and comfy, with décor and a terrace full of local character. The bathroom was a bit small, but considering the price, we were very satisfied. The host speaks excellent English and was very friendly. He prepared a hearty, freshly made breakfast according to our request time. There are several top-rated restaurants from the Aswan area on the island, all within a few minutes’ walk. However, getting off the island requires a boat ride, which comes at an extra cost, though boats are available on call. Overall, we were very pleased with the accommodation and would recommend it to anyone visiting Aswan.

Quiet and amazing roof terrace view

We were very happy and pleased with the accomodation. Very nice location on Elephantine island with a beautiful view on the Nile river and Aswan. Abouda and his cousin helped us with everything. They planned very nice trips for us for a good price. We have only good memories!

It is fair price for the kind of room provided.

We were given very large polyester blankets for single beds and the bed linens are also polyester and very uncomfortable. We were told by the owner that we couldn't eat in our room and we had to leave our shoes at the building's entrance but no slippers were provided. We were glad that we did not book our driver from the owner because we would be paying a lot more that way.

This place was very clean and good. You may have to walk about 300 mtrs to boat yard to get a public ferry. Plenty of hiring cars available at KFC boat yard to cheeper price. Everything was very good in our stay. The owner is very cooperative

We loved our stay here. The room had everything we needed and it had a great view towards Nile. The owner was very friendly and we felt like at home. We enjoyed our conversations with him. The location is perfect as it's very close to the best restaurants in Aswan and there is a public boat that goes often to the city in less than 5 min. We never had to wait for the boat as it's goes quite frequently as well. Even though the island is not in good conditions, we loved our stay there. All the people we met or encountered were very friendly. I am so glad we decided to stay 3 nights instead of 2 as it's my favorite part of the trip. The owner also helped us arranging several tours and we were happy with all those trips we took. I would totally recommend this guest house to everyone.

Nothing

Lovely and comfy house , good location with few minutes walk from the pier , room is clean and tidy , rooftop with nice view ! Definitely will recommend it !!

Nuba Tod is really the best hotel in Aswan. I really miss the night I chat with the boss of Aboud. He is really a great man. The view on the roof is really nice. His welcome tea I really love it.

Great location on Elephant island at walking distance from the public ferry, outside the hustle and bustle of Aswan. The English speaking owner also has his own boat and his friendly son gave us a nice boat tour around the island, including to the Botanical Gardens and a Nubian village. We also did a very nice tour to a Coptic monastery in the desert by camel. It is advisable to check in advance what a tour exactly entails. The rooms are fine, but vary greatly in size and view. The nicest rooms are on top. A good breakfast is served on the roof terrace with a beautiful view; in the evening you can eat very well at the nearby restaurant Bob Marley.

The strengths of this property are its stunning location overlooking the Nile, the rooms furnished in Nubian style, the impeccable cleanliness, but above all, Abouda, the owner of the guesthouse. He is an exceptional person who goes above and beyond to fulfill every possible request from guests. If you want to experience an authentic Nubian stay, this is the place to be.

Everything was perfect

It wasn't just guesthouse. I felt like I was in my home. Guesthouse host is super kind and supportive. He would like to do everything that guest wants and needs. It isn't a thousand dollar fancy hotel, but if you are looking for a place where you want to feel comfortable like home, don't hesitate to stay here. (Certainly, location and facilities are fine.)

N/A

Good location for a guest house and a very helpful owner who can organise transport and sightseeing. His location is close to cafes and restaurants on the island. The island is free from noise and traffic which means no cars or jeeps and you can walk through nubian villages and houses.

Not much to dislike.

Great staff. Abouda and his family accommodated us warmly and organised any activities we asked for.

Extremely clean! And pretty rooms, with good decor and color combinations. Good breakfast too. The owner, Mohamed, is very helpful and organised a visit to Abu Simbel for us. With a good safe driver and a guide on site.

Nichts

I liked how Abouda made it his mission to greet us and spend time on his roof top balcony talking through the area and history. This property is loved. It is well maintained and super clean. Shoes off at the entrance. Stayed an extra night. Very happy.

It is a bit of a first impression snag, but as soon as you get inside and see how the property is perfectly clean and cared for, it quickly disappears.

Ali the host was absolutely amazing and was extremely hospitable!! He welcomed us to the guest house and made us feel at home, showed us where to get dinner and helped us make travel plans. He made sure we were looked after and felt like he was really looking out for us. Elephantine Island is a great place to stay and the Nubian people are so kind and welcoming. Thank you to Ali and his brothers for hosting us, we hope to be back!

NA

the host was very hospital, maybe a bit pushed too much as he was eager to know my itinerary and tried to offer better tour options for me, which some of them worked and I really appreciate that. but the overall feeling was a bit too over-controlled. the connections the host has were amazing, taxi driver, ferry, and sailing boat all beyond expectation. if you would like to experience the life on elephantin island I would highly recommend this place.

the fact it's on a remote island sometime brought some inconvenience which I didn't know when I booked the place in the first place. but all solvable and worked out well.

I stayed here three nights at the beginning and end of my stay on Elephantine Island. Mohammed Abouda is a great guy who really looks after his guests and goes out of his way to ensure they are comfortable and at ease. The roof terrace has a wonderful view of the Nile. If I return I will certainly stay here again.

The room was nicely decorated. Staff was helpful. Breakfast was decent. Roof had a good view.

Guest House is located on a side alley.

The host was a very nice middle-aged man, Abouda (hence the guest house name!), one of the 10-15 Nubian families on Elefantine. He met me upon arrival and gave me keys (front door & room), showed me the rooftop where I'd have breakfasts, and talked me thru available excursions. I chose the following add-ons and experiences from what the host talked me through upon my arrival: • $30 for a driver + permits for Abu Simbel (incl. a 3:50am motorboat since the ferry doesn't operate that early & a seat there+back in a shared minivan) • $40 for a sunset felucca ride around Elephantine (incl. getting picked up & dropped off at jetties of my choice; the ride was around 1.5hrs) • $100 for a private car & driver from Aswan to Luxor (incl. stopping at Kom Ombo, Edfu, and Esna temples). The driver was excellent, told me a lot about local life & agriculture & how things work in Egypt in general. • $15 for a driver + motorboat to Philae temple (private car, private motorboat, incl. both waiting 2hrs while I explore the temple) I also opted for the $5-a-day Nubian breakfasts (I had 2 on the rooftop terrace, and 1 as a breakfast box for the Abu Simbel trip; I'd 100% get the "for here" breakfasts if I visited again, they were delicious!). The host wasn't pushy about the excursions and extras, and I was happy to invest in them. I paid in cash, and no receipts were exchanged. Beyond that, regarding the stay itself: the room was the cleanest I stayed in during my Egypt trip. The bed was comfortable, the room itself was spacious, and the small kitchenette would've been a special perk if I was the type to eat in my room. There's a number of tasty restaurants in the area serving tasty Nubian food, so the lack of a wider meal offer wasn't an issue.

Unfortunately, the location on Elefantine isn't ideal. I'd advise backpacks rather than a wheeled suitcase. The guesthouse is on a very narrow alley (myself and suitcase barely fit), with a pipe jutting out of the ground. The worst part about the alley, though, was the smell. It mostly came from the dirtiest, stinkiest chicken coop I'd ever seen (I had to hold my breath while passing it for fear of vomiting, and genuinely dreaded the walk to/from my accommodation so planned to stay out as long as possible & avoid multiple back-and-forth walks), and was compounded by a pile of trash in a corner, cat urine, and the heat. Short of renting a private motorboat to pick you up from the neighboring restaurant, there wasn't another way to the guest house, so holding my breath and hurrying over the jutting out pipe was my go-to. Luckily for me, the smell didn't reach my 3rd floor room with windows kept shut, but I wouldn't want to be any lower. Speaking of windows, they weren't fully closable -- so on a night of a major soccer game, when fans gathered in a restaurant next door, I could hear the cheering & booing as the game went on while trying to sleep. Otherwise the area was quiet, though. The only other inconvenience was the result of a family emergency on the host's side, and not a big deal -- we had to delay my check-in as his mother ended up in surgery that day, and I later got some texts meant for another guest while he was dealing with family chaos. It wasn't anything bothersome, and life happens, but if you need everything to be exactly on time, that may not always be feasible with a single-handedly run guesthouse.

Myself and partner travelled around Egypt for 4 weeks so got a good feel for the availability of many types of accommodation, cruise/resort/booking.com and Airbnb. I can honestly say Nuba Tod Abuda was were we felt most relaxed and free from any hassles. We were able to recuperate, turn off totally and chill from our various travels, a major part of this was due to Abouda himself, who is a fantastic communicator and fluent in many languages, including English due to being so well traveled. Abouda kindly accepts you into his home and makes you feel welcome like a returning friend, he is aware what a traveler needs and is well able to provide for your needs, topped with delicious Nubian recipes, large portions of deliciousness! We also went out on his beautiful boat to the botanic gardens which I highly recommend, really memorable trip on the Nile to impressive green sheltered gardens. There is so much to do on Elaphantine Island,the only regret we have is that we did not stay longer. Shall come back again for a longer stay as the place is so comfortable and well equipped, especially the balcony, brilliant space and view. Big thanks again Abouda, you are the Host with the mostest :)

Perfect location on Elephantine Island. Mohamed is a perfect host, who can arrange trips if you want, and also provide suggestions on what to see and where to eat on the island and in the area in general. The rooms are simple but clean and comfortable, and the breakfast is delicious. It's also a nice place to experience Nubian hospitality, culture, and food. It's very close to the public ferry to get back to the city centre, but the location on the river makes it a relaxing, peaceful place to stay away from the city as well. We would happily come back here, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in Aswan.

The location was wonderful on Elephantine Island with great views. Fabulous Nubian food at the nearby King Jamaican restaurant. Abouda the ownner was very accommodating and could organise just about anything for you

Nothing

1. Location: on the isle in the river where there are some local restaurants with balcony. It’s lovely to have meals and shisha by the river 2. Host: the host arranged daya trips and the next day’s transport for me, I hesitated first but the price is quite fair in comparison to online platforms. Communication is easy with him as he speaks English fluently 3. Room: sparkling clean and has basically everything needed for one night. Beddings are comfortable and clean as well with good smell.

I had an amazing time at Nuba Tod guest house! Originally, I booked for just 2 days, but I couldn't resist extending my stay for one more day. This place is spotless, and every morning, I woke up to the soothing sounds of birds and waves. Then, I headed up to the rooftop for my daily dose of yoga. Let me tell you about the owner, Abouda. He's an absolute gem. As a solo female traveler, I truly appreciated how he'd give me a call to ensure I was safe if I happened to return late at night. It felt like being with family. I can't recommend this place enough! It's a real hidden gem. 😊🌴🏠

The location was close to the pier, about 3 min walk. The room was clean, and with aircon. The owner Mr. Mohammed was the best. ALWAYS ready to help you, help you with your tours, give you options,etc.. He has tours also which has a really good and competitive price. His tours are even cheaper compared online.

Abouda is an amazing host, he made our trips to Egypt a truly memorable one. He organized our trips to Abu Simbel, Philae Temple, boat trips to another Nubian village, and an amazing felucca ride from Aswan to Kom Ombo. Abouda’s brother Ali was our captain on the felucca and was as friendly and knowledgeable as his brother. We sailed during the day along the Nile, and slept on the boat under the stars, a really incredible trip! The guesthouse is located on Elephantine Island, where farmers work in the fields, kids play in the sandy streets, and donkeys roam around. The island is extremely charming in its authenticity, and we loved having dinner in the restaurants near the guesthouse. Connection with the mainland couldn’t be easier, with boats going back and forth every ten minutes.

-

I liked how clean the place is, also there's a rooftop with a nice view of the Nile where you can chill. Place is also close to the boat in the island. The owner is really nice and helpful. He will assist you in whatever you need, and would go out of his way to help you. He has tour packages which has a good price and competitive pricing. We booked 1 night here, but then decided to extend 2 more nights. Has also strong wifi. You would feel at home on this place. Highly recommended!

The owner, Mohammed, is very helpful. Very relaxing and clean room.

The location, people, everything are lolely!

This Guest House is good for back-packers. Not adapted for families. It was clean and breakfast prepared by the owner, reasonably good. No doubt, the best is the roof terrasse, with excellent views. In the neighbourhood, good restaurant.

The access to the Guest House is difficult when coming to the island with a large suit-case using the normal public boat. Better to order a boat from the guest house. Pictures do not reflect genuinely the type of guest house proposed.

Excellent stay lovely super clean guesthouse. Abouda is a lovely man extremely helpful and knowledgeable of Egypt. He can plan everything for you Abu Simbel, airport or train pick up, day trips, sunset boat trips, overnight boat trips, basically everything he even arranged a transfer for me to Marsa Alam Red Sea. Lovely roof terrace. 10*

Nice roof terrace with excellent view, front row to the Nile, and a comfortable room with a fridge. Value for money. Best of all is the friendly host, Mohamed, who speaks perfect English. He helped us organize our trips, had a lot of good advice to share, and even fixed it so we could have clothes repaired. Mohamed rocks!

Mohammed is a wonderful host--he checked with us throughout our travels to make sure we were able to find the way and he also helped us set a good price for the taxi from the airport to the ferry. His guest house is beautifully made, with vibrant colors and a welcoming arrangement. We had everything we needed. Mohammed also welcomed us with tea on the roof and joined us to talk more about the area before suggesting where we could go for a late night snack and beer. We wish we had planned to stay longer.

Very clean.

Location. A bit dirty around the island

🇮🇸 we stayed for a week and enjoyed it very much. Mohammed was very helpful and friendly and speaks excellent English. He helped us organise day trips from here that were successful. The guest house is clean and pleasant and has a wonderful view of the Nile from the roof.

Nothing

very clean abhuda is very helpful

Host Abouda was very helpful and friendly. Even got us a mango from the market!

Everything was great!

Great place, in a great location. Abouda is a great host

The room felt very homely and was very conveniently located close to the port. The amenities were also very good.

Nothing

It was clean Good hospitality from the owner

Nuba Tod is on Elephantine island with a different vibes from the Aswan city and where Nubian people live. I felt welcomed from the time I arrived. I really enjoyed my stay here. The rooftop has amazing sunrise & sunset views. There are also a few restaurants nearby, even one next to the guesthouse with friendly staff. Mr. Abouda was super helpful in organizing last-minute trips for me: trips to Philae temple, Abu Simbel, and a private transfer to Luxor. Thank you, Abouda!

Great location, good rooms (with a nice hot shower) and Abouda is the best host you could wish for!

Nice room well situated on Elephantine island. Host Mohamed has a huge knowledge of the what’s on offer in Egypt and can help with any arrangements.

room clean stuff nice good view of the Nile from the top floor sth wrong with the google map，its hardly to find the guest house，better ask the locals.

We had a great stay at Nuba Tod Abouda Guest House. Abouda was very helpful and responsive helping us to find a boat as we arrived very late in the middle of the night. The room Is clean with AC. The guest house has a wonderful rooftop terrasse with a beautiful view on the river.

The view of Nile River is fantastic through my room (room 6) windows. It also can enjoy the beautiful view of Nile River on the roof. The host Abouda can arrange all the transportation matters. I have great time of his felucca.

It's quiet during the day time. There is a restaurant next to the hotel and will play music from 18:00-23:00. It will be a little be noise, if you want to sleep early.
