Om-Abdallah

Saif was the perfect host and went out of his way to make me feel welcome. He gave me great advice and when I asked where I could swim he walked me to the spot.

Es ist ein ruhiges Leben auf Elephantine. Die Zimmer im Om Abdallah sind gut ausgestattet und sehr sauber. Der Besitzer ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit und es war auch sehr interessant, sich mit ihm zu unterhalten. Das Frühstück war auch sehr gut!

Wir wurden in jeglicher Art unterstützt. Touren, Frühstück, Transfer, alle schnell uns fair. Die Restaurantempfehlung, top.

Saif was a real joy to meet and was a beautiful host; genuinely concerned about my having a positive experience. The room was quite nice, comfortable bed, large mini-fridge,large private bath ( water pressure was a little on soft side, but plenty of hot water). There was a shared kitchen and Saif provided options for breakfasts and dinners at a nominal cost- aromatic and delicious. Large, comfy common area with water and fruits available everyday. Rooms were secure and nights were quiet so sleep was sound and deep. Everything was walkable from house so a very convenient location. Saif is a wonderful host. Ferry runs very consistently and only 10egp to cross.

Elephantine island is a little challenging to navigate due to the many winding and narrow walkways between all the buildings. I'm not great with direction so I kept missing turns, but the locals were always so nice in helping me find my way. It is actually a wonderful village with no cars and no horns and I always felt totally safe. The "inner courtyard" view left a little to be desired.
