“Our stay at Nile Bride was absolutely perfect.
Mustapha and his nephew Hamada are truly exceptional hosts — warm, generous, and always ready to help.
They prepared wonderful breakfasts every morning and even cooked delicious dinners for us in the evening.
They also came to pick us up by boat when we arrived and offered to organize outings, like visiting the Nubian village, which was a great experience.
The place is peaceful, beautifully located on the Nile, and ideal for relaxing.
We felt at home and cared for the entire time.
I recommend this place 100% — it’s one of the best experiences we had in Egypt.”
“We had such an amazing stay at JJ’s. We originally booked for three days but ended up extending for another three because we loved it so much.
JJ and his family/staff are all very kind and friendly — they made us feel so at home in their beautiful slice of the world. Elephantine Island is very relaxed and has a lovely local feel (a very nice change from Aswan city and the rest of Egypt!). That said, you’re only a two-minute ferry from the mainland which was super easy and we went in most nights for dinner.
We booked a tour to Abu Simbel through JJ which saved us from having to think about logistics of getting there ourselves 🙌🏼 we ended up being the first group there for the day so got some amazing photos and we’re back in the guesthouse by 1pm.
Also the included breakfast was incredibly generous. Everyday we had fresh juice, eggs, bread, salad, cheese, fruit salad, jam & honey. Honestly amazing value and cooked with love. Plus the view from the rooftop (where breakfast is served) is beautiful, looking over the Nile. Our room also had an amazing view of the river.
Honestly I can’t rave enough about this place. We feel so happy to have stumbled upon JJ Guesthouse and are leaving with some very special memories ✨🩷”
“Hotel is really nice, beautiful, peaceful and the views from the rooftop are amazing.
The owner made my trip a lot easier as he was really helpful to arrange trips to luxor and Abu simbel”
“The location and views of the accommodation are unbeatable. On Elephantine Island but at the foot of the causeway that takes you to Aswan in a few minutes. The rooms, without luxuries, are clean and comfortable. The air conditioning and fan work well. I recommend staying in rooms with a balcony and river views. The staff is very friendly and always trying to give you a hand. They organized a felucca trip for us. The breakfast was plentiful and good. A pleasure...”
“Owner is very helpful, he is always taking care of you and he can get you what you need: Tickets for night light show or tickets for the morningi in Abu Simbel, transfer from/to Aswan. Besides, the room is excellent and the breakfast is superb too!”
