    Abdu was an excellent host! He helped us visit all the sites we wanted to see and put us contact with great local operators. The houseboat is great, a nice calming location to enjoy the Nile after a day of exploring Aswan.

    Very unique experience, Abdo is amazing and we had the whole boat to ourselves. The view overlooking the Botanical Garden Island and the West Bank is mesmerising. Also, there was no noise from boats (as described in previous reviews).

Welcome! I will make sure you will feel at home on this fantastic boat, and I will help you with anything during your stay. Feel free to ask me anything! There are just 2 rooms on the boat, so it's quiet and calm. You can either stay in one place (our standard spot is just across the botanical garden at Elephantine Island) or we can go to different places! Please contact me to discuss options! I can also organise different tours within Aswan, like kayaking, bird spotting, Philae Temple, Aboe Simbel, Nubian Museum or Nubian village. Here's an example if you want to go sailing: Day 1: Check in Edfu at 1 pm, visit the temple, and spend the night in Edfu. Day 2: Sail to Kom Ombo. Visit the temple. Spend the night. Day 3: See Kom Ombo, sail to Aswan, check out at 5pm.
Hello! I'm a very helpful and friendly person and want to make you feel welcome in Egypt!
Our standard spot is just across the botanical garden at Elephantine Island, but as mentioned, we can also sail to different places, like Edfu, Esna, Kom Ombo or Luxor!
