Hostels in Ash Shallāl

We had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful nubian house ,From the moment we arrived Mrs aAsmaa made us feel right at home with her warmth, kindness and genuine hospitality. The nile view is breathtaking and you can spend the whole visit in the terrace enjoying the scene. I highly recommend this house for anyone looking for a cozy, clean and welcoming place.

Jimmy is such a nice and calm guy. He's gentle, helpful,smart,cool,wise, I can't stop describe how nice person he is. He knows how to taking care of guests very well. When I had troubles to making travel plan he always helped me by suggesting tour or providing transport but that was no pushing at all. So it was always comfortable to talk to him. Location is perfect, middle of a big market. I stayed 4th floor and I really loved that shower there. It's hot and water pressure is very strong, hard to find this much good shower in any place.

We have arrived at 5pm due to delay flight from cairo for 2hrs! Omar's still waiting and picking us up. The room is so lovely as nubian style, also the breakfast is so good!

Nice stay at the Doroka Nubian house, right on the nile.. The staff was very helpful and nice. The rooms were clean and the view stunning. The breakfast was an Egyptian one which some of us enjoyed and other less. Next to it is the Nubian village which is nice to visit.

It was super nice and clean. Loved the location. It can be a little stuffy and hot in the room but the owner addressed issues promptly so I’m happy with my stay there.

We had an amazing time staying at Chams House! My family (3 people) and I stayed for 3 nights. They greeted us with a fruit basket and lemon mint juice, which was such a thoughtful surprise! The house was super clean, spacious, and very comfortable, and the family made us feel at home the entire time. Since we had a lot of luggage, they arranged a microbus to pick us up from the train station, which made things much easier. At first, we were a bit unsure about the location, but the family helped us plan a great program for the 3 days, taking care of every little detail. A big delicious breakfast was waiting for us every morning. We also asked for a homemade traditional dinner, and they cooked an amazing meal for us. The family was so friendly and kind—we had wonderful conversations with them, and they were some of the nicest and most humble people we met in Egypt. They even called the bus station to help us with an issue we had with our bus to Hurghada. The wifi was surprisingly great, I was able to work the whole time freely. But the highlight for us was how authentic and local the whole experience felt. It was so different from anything else we saw in Egypt, and being immersed in the Nubian culture was unforgettable. The islands were beautiful, the food was fantastic, and the Nubian massage my mom, aunt, and I got in the guest house was amazing! They even let us check out late, since our next bus was untill 3pm. We absolutely loved our time at Chams House and would recommend it to everyone. Don’t think twice— I'm sure you’ll love it as much as we did! Thank you to Mr Chams, Mrs Bertuda, Khetamy and the cutest little Anas, you all made us feel at home.

I loved that the hostel is remote and in a super quiet place. They have a menu and they can make special requests too, like vegetarian food in my case. The owner was very helpful and assisted organising a last minute boat trip on the Nile to the Nubian Village - which I highly recommend. I've done it with a motorboat, and it was magical. I wish I could have spent more days here.
