Reviews of King Nubian House

It was very quiet. At night some kids might play outside but when they are done you hear almost nothing. Everyone was super friendly and always tried to help, if wanted.

The amazing place ever 🙌 ✨

The hospitality was amazing. Abdullah and his family are very helpful right from airport pickup to boarding the ferry back. Abdullah's father even came all the way to the ferry stop at 6am to make sure we get a ferry. It was good he came since the ferry just left and he asked them to come back soon to pick us up. The stores in the island also don't charge special price for foreigners. And also no vehicles in the island so very peaceful. The rooms are also spacious. The island is also a cat paradise and if you are a cat lover, the family has 3 cats outside!!

Nothing major during our trip. Though the toilet / bathroom might be shared if someone is staying in the other room. But we were alone and hence it was private to us. It would be better to have liquid soaps than bar soaps.

A great experience of Nubian hospitality. It's a family run business and they make their best to make you feel welcome and meet your requirements. I was picked up at the dock on Elephantine Island and before I was in constant contact with the owner to help me get there. They also took care of the booking of the transport to Abu Simbel and Philae. The room is spacious, comfortable and clean, big beds, the wifi was very good and they prepared for me an excellent breakfast on the last day.

The doorknob of the bedroom door needs to be repaired or replaced, it was very complicated to open the door.

Very lovely and hospitable host! They helped us with washing our clothes and getting us to and from the main land. It is lovely to stay in a guest house when visiting Aswan. Would highly recommend.

Comfortable large room, queen size beds. I loved the “body length” pillow. Wi-Fi, hot water, as expected. The owner came to pick me up by boat at the ferry, which was very nice, since the property is quite a bit of a distance away and there is no transport on the island. There is a shared kitchen and the owner’s mother cooked me a yummy dinner a couple of times. The property is about 7 minutes walking from the ferry that would take you into Aswan city center. The area is very quiet, compared to the hustle of the city nearby. You can book boat/felukka trips or transport to Abu Simbel through the property.

Abdullah is very helpful and approachable, and goes out of his way to make sure that your stay is good. He can propose good trip or restaurant options. The size of the room is also good, since it comprises a kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and lounge, that are quite large.

Quite frankly, the mattresses on the beds need changing; they are worn out. The same thing goes for the towels provided; Abdullah would do well to change/upgrade them. The kitchen also is in dire need of cleaning, even though you are unlikely to do a lot of cooking (good restaurant close by). Finally, the room is quite chilly at night.

King Nubian Guest House overall an amazing place...best stay so far in Egypt, Abdullah was always ready to assist and has helped me to organize the tour to Abu Simbel swiftly, definitely going back when in Aswan. To be mentioned as well home made breakfast prepared by Abdullah's mother simply perfect. Walking distance from restaurants. I do reccomend it.

large rooms, very nice hospitality of the host, location near some restaurants, so very good considering you’re inside a very very local and simple island
