One of the best stays I had in Egypte on this beautiful Elephant Island in the Mango Guest House. The staff was really nice and helpful! The location was very quiet, no sounds of cars only nature. The rooms where very clean and comfortable in a beautiful building with garden!

Offering garden views, Nuba Heart is an accommodation situated in Aswan, 24 km from Kitchener's Island and 25 km from Aswan High Dam. The property has mountain and river views, and is 7.6 km from Aga Khan Mausoleum. The guest house features family rooms.

The Nuba Heart is a spanking brand-new Nubian accommodation on the west bank of Aswan, so very clean, it has the most comfortable brand new beds and sheets, the highest rooftop in the village that has an extremely friendly vibe where you eat breakfast and dinner. The owner is very proud and wants to do his best for everyone and his wife cooked the best Nile fish dinner I’ve have eaten in Egypt, highly recommended. Mohamed the owner’s son is a huge Asset to the family business, as he’s incredibly friendly and such a special person, his English is very good too. The lovely children could not have bigger smiles and so well behaved. You can walk to the Tombs being just up the road (which has fabulous views), then walk to the old Monastery and also to the mausoleum. I recommend that you come back to Nuba Heart by Camel and look for Harris at the mausoleum, he’s a lovely peaceful guy, who even bought me tea, he has 2 Camels, or more 🐪 are available if you’re a bigger group. There’s a public boat that crosses the Nile 24/7 costing 10 Egyptian pounds to reach the Nubian village on the West Bank and it’s either a short walk or a few minutes ride by tut-tut to Nuba Heart

Everything was wonderful, I think I never had an experience this great. We were warmly welcomed, everything was very clean, very comfortable. The breakfast was always amazing and very flexible according to your own shedule. The host always helped us to fix a boat, or car to get to the sites we wanted to visit. She is an amazing woman, with an amazing place to stay at. We will definitely be coming back, and definitely be staying here again because other accomodations are not an optian. Truly this is one of the best experiences I had

    Property is in a quiet area of Aswan, away from the noisy city. Crossing the street it has an exclusive area to swim into the Nile river or do some kayaking, which are rented for a cheap price. They also offer water and soft drinks and a small breakfast included. You can easily spend many days relaxing in the hostel, without even leaving to do attractions.

    Zolly was and excellent host, his hospitality was warm and welcoming and he couldn’t be more accommodating. The guest house it’s self is a nice spot over over views over the Nile and Aswan. Facilities are all up to scratch and the rooms well equipped. The guesthouse offers excellent value for money and you can put a price on the hospitality Zolly offers .

    The host was amazingly friendly, even inviting us to his nieces engagement party while we were there and we got to experience some authentic Nubian food! The location is great, much quieter than staying on the east bank but also just a short and very cheap ferry ride over to the hustle and bustle. The room was nice and clean with a bathroom, ceiling fan, heaps of cupboard space, supplied towels and a really comfy bed. Would definitely reccomend!

    This is a lovely, quaint guest house on the quiet side of Elephantine. We loved how peaceful it was and away from the hustle and bustle of the town: Mohammed and Basser were very accommodating hosts throughout the stay. A highlight being we got to go on Mohammed’s boat for a sunset journey on the Nile. Highly recommend!

    Great location next to the Nile and 5 minutes on foot from the ferry. Also very nice rooftop to chill by the river. The room was clean, quiet and comfortable. Ahmed is a great host, we were able to take our breakfast in a bag when we had to leave at 4am. He can also organize a trip to Abu Simbel at a reasonable price.

    This is a great location, easy to access from the elephantine ferry boat port for a cheap ride and short walk. nice and peaceful. great host who is very helpful and organised felucca rides, boat rides and trip to Abu Simbel for us. there is a wee restaurant next door with yummy food - it takes a while to cook but is a nice relaxing atmosphere. breakfast is decent enough and served on the rooftop. the host is Nubian and the house is in a Nubian village. I highly recommend BAYT ZAINA.

    Great place to stay in Aswan, in the peaceful, quiet and charming island of Elephantine. Gasser is a great host, honest and kind, and makes your visit to the island unforgettable.
