Set in Ash Shallāl, 20 km from Aga Khan Mausoleum, Nubian Hights guesthouse offers air-conditioned accommodation and a terrace.

The place is amazing, a fantastic location that is unparalleled in all of Aswan. The service is excellent. The reception is more than wonderful. The owner of the house pays attention to all the details. There is also a tuk-tuk in the hotel that you can use to take to the main street. I will come back again.

Set in Aswan, 24 km from Aga Khan Mausoleum, Wanees Hostel offers air-conditioned accommodation and a shared lounge.

Very cool place, staff incredibly friendly, they made my life so much easier. Props to the night shift receptionnist Hassan Mohammed who guided me through the options and through local life. The hostel, although hard to find at first, is really well located if you want a deep and authentic immersion into Aswan's life.

Kashta Nubian Guest Houst has a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and restaurant in Aswan.

Wonderful stay in a traditional nubian guest house. Very clean and comfortable, and nothing was too much for Omar. He helped us to organise any trips we wanted and to navigate the island. Fantastic breakfast on the rooftop and a refreshing welcome drink. If we had an early trip, Omar made us breakfast to go and showed us the best of Arabic hospitality. Thank you Omar we are very grateful 🙏 We felt very safe on Elephantine island, relaxed and quiet, easy to get to and from the mainland and some lovely nubian restaurants. Would definitely recommend to stay here rather than the mainland.

The host is so lovely and helpful and the place feels very comfy and safe. I stayed in the private room, which is very nice and spacious and has a great shower. A lot of love and attention to detail went into it! And it‘s so quiet at night!

Very beautiful place, well taken care of, with colorful paintings on the walls, Nubian style. The owners were very kind and welcoming. They helped us with the trip to Abu Simbel and with transfers. They welcomed us with a cup of mint tea, which they grow themselves. The breakfast they prepared was delicious and very big. Amazing quality for good price. Strongly recommend!

Set in Aswan, 23 km from Aga Khan Mausoleum, Go Inn Backpackers offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace.

The location of the accommodation is not very convenient, as you need to take a taxi to get to the city center. However, the hostel is close to the Nile River, offering beautiful scenery. The staff are helpful and friendly, and they offer very affordable canoe rentals, allowing you to spend a relaxing afternoon paddling on the Nile.

The location was perfect, almost right to the Nile. 1 min walk and you have a little beach to swim in the Nile. Everything in our stay was good :)

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
