The location is fantastic — right on the Nile with amazing panoramic views of the river and nature all around. The whole place is super calm and serene, no noise, just peace and fresh air.
What really makes it special is the people. Hagga Rawiya and the family are incredibly welcoming, generous, and full of warmth. Their kindness and hospitality make you feel at home instantly. Everything feels authentic and simple in the best way.
Clean, comfortable, amazing food options, and that Nile view from the room… honestly, it’s hard to leave!
If you want a real Nubian experience away from the tourist hustle, this is the place. 100% recommend! 🙏
Rawia welcomed us with a lot of hospitality and we enjoyed her dinner meal!
The accomadation is clean, air conditioned and benefits from a wonderful view on the west Nile river side.
We all three recommend this place !
One advice : when you arrive in Aswan, make sure to take the local ferry at good price (close to the KFC restaurant). A little walk will lead you to Baba Dool place and make you discover the Elephantine island atmosphere.
