The hotel was located on the West Bank but it was easy and cheap to get a public crossing to the East Bank. The ferry is only a 10 minute walk from the hote. The hotel is extremely quiet. The staff, namely Bassam, was exceptional and his English was perfect. I got everything I needed. The rooftop terrace is covered with sand and bohemian and cool. Bassam was always available with any questions or concerns on WhatsApp. My room was huge and comfortable. There is tremendous competition for rooms in Aswan as it is a tourist city but this hotel recognizes that tourists want exceptional value. I got exceptional value and more at Nubian Kingdom. There was also a coffee ceremony conducted while I was there which was complimentary and interesting.

The area is sleepy which might be an issue for some people and is not nearly as developed as the Nile's Eastern city side. Restaurants and shops are not as numerous. There is a ferry that is run regularly and the daily crossings back and forth that actually added excitement and fun to my stay.

I had an excellent experience with Bassam and his wonderful staff. A big shout out for Mohammad and his helper Mustafa who made amazing coffee in the traditional Nubian way, well worth the wait watching the process and and the taste was delicious. Thank you Bassam for organising our tours of Philae island and surrounds and the time on Lake Nasser. I look forward to, God willingly, to the all day trip on Lake Nasser, to see the Sunrise, food, storytelling of Nubian traditions and culture, music, visit to Temple of Kalabsha, (3.59pm purchase ticket0 and then on to see Sunset later in the year

Every thing was perfection

Beautiful, welcoming, attracts interesting guests. Bassem is very inviting and helpful. Really nice to live in the Nubian village across the Nile from Aswan proper. Ferry is very easy to access and negotiate. One of our favorite places we've ever stayed.

We liked everything.

La struttura è pulita, i bagni sono in comune ma sono talmente tanti che è come averli privati e soprattutto sono pulitissimi. Colazione locale abbondante e possibilità di fare anche cena in modo conviviale con gli altri ospiti: più che una guest house una casa in cui si vive con altri ospiti. Il proprietario è gentilissimo e sempre disponibile a rispondere a qualsiasi dubbio. L’unica nota negativa è che si trova sulla sponda occidentale del fiume, cosa che si supera senza problemi a qualsiasi ora con un traghetto che fa spola continua partendo dal lungo Nilo in corrispondenza della stazione ferroviaria (0€80). Possibilità di organizzare tour, peccato non averlo saputo prima altrimenti ci saremmo rivolti qui per Abu Simbel.

Nulla.
