Boasting a patio with sea views, a garden and a bar, Nile View Guest House can be found in Aswan, close to Nubian Museum and 23 km from Aga Khan Mausoleum. This beachfront property offers access to a terrace. The guest house has family rooms.

Perfect romantic location right next to the Nile river. Far away from Egypt's street noise. It has a rural feel, which is exactly what we looked for. The property is exactly as shown in the pictures and the view to the river is breathtaking. Very comfortable beds, typical hearty and delicious Egyptian breakfast (the best we've had in Egypt). Ahmed is extremely kind, welcoming and very funny. He picked us up from the airport even at midnight. He also organized at reasonable prices a private boat trip to the Botanical garden and Nubian village (he even demonstrated his Nubian braveness by holding a crocodile). He is very honest and it's best to ask him to organize tours because he gives attractive offers, much better than the tour agencies. It is the perfect place to immerse yourselves in the traditional Nubian culture and way of life. Right next to the guest house is a "Kafana cafe", where you can enjoy delicious and freshly prepared food with a stunning view to the Nile. If we ever visit Aswan again, we will undoubtedly pick Ahmed's guest house and we definitely recommend that you do so as well. You won't regret it!

The air-conditioned accommodation is less than 1 km from Nubian Museum. The accommodation provides airport transfers, while a car rental service is also available.

Kafana was amazing in every single way. We had already spent three weeks in Egypt before reaching Kafana and his guest house. This was by far our favourite. Only two rooms on the property but it makes it so intimate and special. You can be sure when you stay here that Kafana and his team will make sure your every need is taken care of. Such a relaxing and special place.

    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!

    Perfect in every way. Marta and Osama are kind and generous hosts, helping us out and extremely responsive on WhatsApp. The room is beautiful, clean, with a good shower and comfortable bed. The rooftop looks over the quieter side of Elefantine and is great for breakfast or a beer in the morning. The ferry is close, regular, cheap, and easy, and the island also has the Aswan Museum and ruins of Abu within easy walking distance. There are some nice restaurants close by too. The best place we’ve stayed in Egypt and we were very sad to leave!

    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.
