Basically everything! After a long travel around Egypt, I was looking for some peace and quiet but at the same time have the opportunity to explore my final destination, Aswan. Nala Narty was the PERFECT option. Calm, clean, aesthetic, organic food, hippie chic vibe in an island of Aswan near the Nubian village! What else would you ask for? Ah YES! Sherif's dogs, absolutely adorable! Please do not doubt to book this place! You won't regret it ❤️

We had an amazing stay at New Abu Simbel Hotel—by far the best experience we’ve had in Egypt. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The whole place has a more relaxed, warm vibe than anywhere else we visited in Egypt, which made our time here especially memorable. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and tastefully decorated, and the food in the restaurant is absolutely delicious. We can’t recommend this place highly enough—if you’re visiting Abu Simbel, spend a night or two here. It’s the perfect way to experience the town beyond just the temples.

Just a no less than perfect hospitality experience. We came to stay at the hotel as a young couple on our honeymoon during a two-week trip to Egypt. The stay at the hotel was the "indulgent night" we allowed ourselves. Everything exceeded our expectations - We start by arriving at the hotel which is so physically impressive - on an isolated island and passing by in its beauty. The hotel itself is clean and sparkling, everything is even more beautiful than the pictures! The room is wonderful - it is huge, the bed and shower are great, and the private pool on the balcony is just a wonderful touch. The hotel staff is kind, pleasant and charming. They helped us with everything we needed and even more, and even sent us a cake to celebrate our marriage with us. It touched our hearts very much! I have no doubt that on my next visit to Egypt we will return to Benben, and I will recommend it to anyone who is thinking of visiting the hotel.

Opal Nubian hotel is located at riverside on the Nile and has an amazing view and ambience. Our room had a terrace overlooking the river with a great view and was comfortable. Selim the owner is a great guy and will do anything to help make your stay more comfortable and pleasant: he picked us up at the airport personally and arranged everything we needed - tour to Abu Simbel (and later its cancellation because my wife was sick on that day), and he even called the guys from our next tour to explain to them how to get to the hotel. It’s so relaxing to spend some hours at the restaurant reclining on some pillows and watching the river go by. another high point is the good prepared by the chef Mahmoud - really delicious, and he always had a smile and a nice word. really recommended!

I would like to say the pictures of the hotel are beautiful and great on the internet, but you have to experience this hotel in person. The wonderful staff from driving up to the hotel gates are amazing and classy. So where can I start with this dream vacation of me and my wife. The security team and Mr. Mustafa was courteous from the check-in. We later entered the beautiful garden and reception area and was greeted by Mohammed Khaled. He was the best and treated us well from the beginning of our visit until the last day. My wife became slightly ill on one of our day's visiting this historical hotel. He sent out help to retrieve the necessary medication so her and I can continue our dream vacation. It so many things to list but the great restuarant staff is top shelf. The great Chef Mr. Zackariya and staff entertained our taste buds with wonderful meals on our entire stay. We recommend visiting The Catarat Hotel and plan to visit again in the future.

This hotel has been absolutely amazing! It’s literally just two minutes from the Abu Simbel Temple — the perfect location. The property is new, beautiful, and spotless, with a stunning infinity pool overlooking the desert and Lake Nasser. Watching the sunset from their terrace is truly magical. The food is delicious and freshly made, but what really makes this place special is the people. The staff are incredibly warm, kind, and attentive. A special thank you to Asma, who greeted me so warmly at reception, organized my airport transfer, planned my morning visit to the temple, and helped with every little request. She was always available, caring, and made sure I felt completely comfortable during my first time in Egypt.

We didn't have great expectations because the rating was not the best for this property; however, we were nicely surprised. In fact, we booked just one night in case we didn't like it, and ended up extending for another two. The room was very clean and comfortable, and it wasn't loud at all (many reviews pointed to that, but our room was quiet). The staff are extremely kind, dedicated and accommodating. Breakfast was traditional Egyptian and abundant, we really enjoyed taking it with the beautiful view from the 6th floor where it is served. A nice detail is that you also get the gorgeous view of the Nile while using the lift. The location is great with restaurants at walking distance. We also arranged the Abu Simbel tour with them, which was good and at a fair price.

This is one of the hidden gems of Aswan. To be honest the pictures don't do justice to the hotel. We got a river view room and it had one of the most picturesque views of the Nile and Aswan. The staff was very helpful, and right from checking in to checking out we had such a pleasant experience. The reception can also help with local tours and taxis. The location of the hotel is also ideal and you have access to most facilities nearby (railway station, busses or boats). They even packed us breakfast when we planned leaving early for other destinations in and around Aswan. This was one of the best experiences we had in Egypt.

We stayed here for one night - super location overlooking Lake Nasser - 5 minutes drive from Abu Simbel. The hotel is very impressive set in its own private grounds and with a great pool area. The room was very spacious and tastefully furnished. Cool balcony with a view of the Lake. On checking in, we were upgraded to have breakfast included - this was great as it cost around $30 each. The breakfast buffet had a great variety to suit all tastes. Would definitely stay again if we could afford to!

This place is a hidden gem of Aswan. While it is technically on Elephantine Island, it is easily accessible to Aswan by a 2 minute ferry ride. It's beautiful, serene, peaceful and my stay was greatly enhanced by the hospitality of owners, Marta & Osama. This place is truly a labor of love and they facilitated a carefree experience. Traditional breakfast is included and made by Osama himself. If you are looking for a place that is really rooted in community, you will thrive here.

No other hotel closer to Abu Simbel(5 min walk). They never tried to scam me or ask bagsheesh every 10 seconds. The hotel have one rooftop with partial view on lake Nasser, and 2 intimate garden well decorated. Most of the rooms are also interestingly decorated. Breakfast was good. Bedsheet were clean and comfortable. Hot water was good at night. Slightly lukewarm in the morning but that was quite acceptable.

Visit the temples in the afternoon (after 03.00pm) because the is nobody (except perhaps some extroverted sceaming chinese girls - but once they are gone). Yes, it´s hotter than in the morning and the light is not prefect. but you will have the temple for yourself and you will be able to make perfect photos from inside.

The stay at Abdu’s houseboat was nothing but mind blowing.

The stay at Abdu’s houseboat was nothing but mind blowing. I stayed in the houseboat for 5 days with my mother. We both feel like we gained a friend in Abdu and hope to see him again one time. He is so kind and caring! Not only did he help us arrange everything in terms of tours (to Filae, Abu Simbel, a Nubian village, the botanical garden and more) and activities (Falluca sailing, Zaraha sand meditation, bird watching trip, exploring the Souk, swimming in the Nile, transfer to Luxor via Edfu and Kom Ombo and more), he also helped us with his second smaller boat to get everywhere, get local products for local prices, assimilate to the local culture by clothing and customs, cooked for us (he also made sure all food was well washed), helped us donate goods and clothes to the local school, and assisted us in getting tickets for the night train from Luxor to Caïro, ATM withdrawals and simcards). We truly think he has a heart of gold and works with honesty not soley for money. His houseboat has everything you need for an authentic stay. Our cabin was spacious enough for the two of us and had an amazing view over the Elephantine Island. The terraces was facing the beautiful botanical garden on Kitchener Island. Due to the placement of the boat you have some shade in the morning and you can enjoy the sunset in the evening. If you look for a real experience and want to dive in the culture and day to day livestyle on the Nile, the boat is definitely something for you. We are truly greatful we’ve met Abdu and can definitely recommend a stay with him on his lovely houseboat. We hope to see him again one day!

From the moment I arrived, I felt embraced not just as a guest, but as family. The warmth and genuine hospitality of the entire household created a peaceful refuge that allowed me to rest, reflect, and reconnect with what matters. I especially appreciated the loving way they cared for their children, the heartfelt conversations, and their openness to cultural exchange. The meals were nourishing, the environment was clean and safe, and the small, thoughtful gestures—like helping with errands or offering fruit—left a deep impression on me. I was also moved by their humility, sincerity, and the quiet strength with which they manage the responsibilities of life.

The bed was super comfortable and the balcony view of the nile was beautiful during sunrise. Hotel can offer roundtrip shared van to Abu Simbel and they provided a packed breakfast. Location is set to more calm side of Aswan blending with the locals. ATMs are nearby as well as few restaurants and many local shops. You can also take the boat for a trip or to the other side of Aswan. Aircon and hot shower were working fine.

We spent a lot of our time just enjoying Elephantine island, which is quite, safe, and very relaxing, compared to much of the rest of what we experienced in Egypt. There is certainly enough to explore in Aswan that one could easily spend several days.

Abu Simbel is truly breathtaking.

Abu Simbel is truly breathtaking. We visited around noon on a blessed day during Ramadan, so there weren't many tourists. At times, it felt like we had the entire sites to ourselves. You can walk or take a transport cart to the sites.

Allow at least 2 full days for Aswan region.

Allow at least 2 full days for Aswan region. It s a great stopover for a break after the madness of the tourist sites. The Nubian village ( with the colored walls, where all the motor boats end up) on the other side of the town has been a place where i could have made local friends if I stayed longer. Of course the money making is also there in the mindset, and it s over touristic but you experience the vib of a local village if you stay overnight there. I suggest Ekadolli guesthouse for location outside the touristic area, still close enough to the village, up a hill offering nice view at the Nil. Nebro Guesthouse is better if you wish to wake up right beside the river, in the heart of the village but quiet enough.
