Guest Houses in Ash Shallāl

Good staff， Said is very helpful and warm-hearted. We arrived at Aswan late and did not book the trip to Abu Simbel early， but Said help us find a van lin the end after many calls in the evening. Thank you very much！

The property is very very beautiful, clean and new. The location is amazing for the view on the nile. It's also close to the airport, as there is a new road being constructed which makes access easy. The food was also great. We are vegan and we had an easy time finding great food. They even made an extra breakfast box for us to go to Abu Simbel. The room was beautiful, cozy and comfortable. Everything was clean. Momen was extremely helpful to show us around, as we came a little unprepared to aswan. He answered all our questions very patiently and organized us transport to Luxor.

Nubiano Cataract is a great authentic hotel in Nubian Style. I loved the colorful walls and the room was charming with a beautiful view over the Nile River. The breakfast was very tasty and the staff was very friendly and correct. I slept like a baby at night. I felt at home and happy. The location is close to Philae Island, it was perfect for me!

My husband and I are from Vietnam. We spent our honeymoon here. - The hotel is in a very convenient and quiet location. - The owner and staff are very friendly and enthusiastic. Although they cannot speak much English, but they are very honest. When I asked for a car for the next trip, they also helped me very well. - The food was delicious, but too much for us. When we did not finish it, we asked them to keep it in the refrigerator and in the evening they reheated it for us and they did not charge anything. Although I gave them a tip. I recommend you guys should try Grill Chicken. Conclude, I would give this hotel a score of 10/10, which is suitable for the cost we spent.

this is a true gem of a guest house. it’s run by warm and conscientious owners who really understand how make the experience memorable. small touches go a long way, including the lovely communal spaces and gardens. the rooms are spotless and the location great. our family found this place a nice respite from a busy aswan.

JJ guesthouse is a wonderfull place. The all family is welcoming, and always smiling. You will feel like home. The rooms are spacious, fully equiped (AC, fridge etc) and beds are very confortable. The house is perfectly located with an amazing rooftop with Nile view. On the rooftop the best chef of Aswan will take care of you and served you delicious breakfast. We could wash our clothes here, wich was usefull. Do not look for another place, book here and you wont regret it. We were really lucky to be there and we hope we will come back one day. Thank you again JJ for everything.

Staying at King Mena Nubian Guesthouse is an experience that goes beyond just finding a place to rest—it’s about being embraced by the heart of Nubian culture and hospitality. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and kindness that made us feel like part of the family. Mohammed, Mena the staff were always attentive and caring. They made every effort to ensure we felt at home! The guesthouse is nestled in a picturesque Nubian village, offering a perfect blend of convenience and tranquility. It’s easy to explore local attractions, yet the serene setting allows for a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The proximity to the Nile and the nearby villages adds to the charm, offering stunning views and opportunities to immerse in the local lifestyle. The food at King Mena Nubian Guesthouse is another highlight. Each meal was freshly prepared, showcasing authentic Nubian flavors that were both hearty and delicious. Dining here felt more like sharing a meal with friends than eating at a guesthouse—every dish was served with care and generosity. One of the best aspects of our stay was how connected we felt to the local community. The village’s vibrant culture and the warmth of its people made every interaction memorable. Whether we were strolling through the Elephantine Island, or chatting with the Nubians, there was a constant feeling of being welcomed and embraced. We even had the honor of attending a Nubian wedding! If you’re looking for a place that combines comfort, genuine hospitality, and cultural immersion, Basmatic Nubian Guesthouse is a perfect choice. We left not only with beautiful memories of the place but also with a deep appreciation for the Nubian people and their rich traditions.

Really loved all in this beautiful guest house, and will come back for long stay Very clean, staff very friendly and so closed to the public ferry dock if you have luggage 🧳

Fadl Kato is very clean and comfortable, in an excellent position, with a great view over the Nile. We had a very friendly welcome. There is a very good restaurant within easy walking distance.

If you want to live the Nuba tradition and kindness, this is the place to visit! Picturesque place, next to beautiful mountain that you can visit by camels or on foot, 7 min away from the ferry that takes you to louder and more crowded places! We were walking around the village and everyone was so friendly and wanted to help us!
