Habibi Nubian Guest House-Nubian Hospitality

The room was very comfortable and had a nice balcony. They even let us use their washing machine for free which was very nice of them. The food at the restaurant was super tasty and the staff were very accommodating

Host was super fast and keen to help with any questions or concerns about Aswan or the property. Staff were very friendly. Upstairs restaurant is delicious and great value so another reason to stay. The view of the nobles tombs and desert scape from the rooftop is incredible

On the west bank of the Aswan BUT if you take the local ferry (3 mins walk). Boats cross the Nile every 10 minutes from 6am to 11pm and they are 20 egyptian pound (super cheap!) so you can get to eastern Aswan very easily

It has been a great more local experience, the square where it is, the guest house, beautiful, room nice and very clean, we could do also the laundry. The staff was really nice with us and accommodating, the food at the restaurant upstairs cooked completely from scratch at the moment and delicious. We stay only one night but we decided to come back few days since we loved this guesthouse and Assuan

Our stay was truly wonderful. Nubian Village may feel surprising at first, but the guesthouse is beautifully located in a peaceful area, within a charming village full of kind and welcoming people. The children are especially lovely, always greeting you with a cheerful “Hello, welcome.” The guesthouse is spotlessly clean. The rooms are perfect, well-equipped, and feature a balcony as well as a very comfortable bathroom. The rooftop terrace is a real highlight, offering a breathtaking view over the Nile and Aswan. Breakfast was absolutely exceptional — without a doubt the best we had in Egypt. Everything is homemade and simply delicious.

Unfortunately, and of course this is absolutely not the fault of the guesthouse, it is important to know that Aswan is a city where tourists may encounter many scams, so extra caution is needed. The public ferry to reach Aswan city (crossing the Nile) is very close to the guesthouse, about a 10-minute walk, and normally costs 10 EGP per one-way trip. However, even if you use it daily, some people may try to charge you more or even prevent you from boarding, so be vigilant. The same applies to felucca tours on the Nile. I strongly recommend booking an organized tour, as many people around the city may try to scam or mislead tourists. Being aware of these issues is important, as scams can unfortunately affect the overall experience of staying in the city.
