At the hostel every room is equipped with air conditioning, a seating area, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, a kitchenette, a dining area, a safety deposit box and a private bathroom with a bidet, free toiletries and slippers. All units will provide guests with a desk and a kettle. Nadia, the owner, is so sweet. She really made me feel welcome, and her breakfast was great! The hostel is clean and quiet, and the other women there were very nice. It felt like a family there. I would definitely recommend this hostel to any women who are traveling in Riyadh. I felt very safe which is important as a solo female traveler. Each bed also had a locker, so you could put your stuff there if you needed. She also gave us a little welcome package with a disposable towel and some toiletries. I wanted to stay longer, but she did not have availability the next couple of days that I was here. There were also laundry facilities, a game room, and a nice place on the roof to hang out.

Omar was incredibly nice and attentive. He helped us cross the island to the city side to take some tours and then to be driven to the airport in the middle of the night/early in the morning. Breakfast was very good and the guest house is beautiful. The island is super calm and nice with a delicious restaurant that has a great view of the Nile. I would definitely recommend his place!!!

It’s value for money, the staff were all warm and accommodating! Ahmad, the manager helped us arranged the excursions to Abu Simbel and to Luxor. It all went well and felt safe. Both trips require us to get up early, they were so nice to pack up breakfast meals for us. We tried to have dinner and it was delicious, we enjoyed the meat tagine in particular, similar taste to moroccan tagine actually. Internet was working, not so strong but it’s expected so nothing to complain about. The corner room on our last night was weak, it was okay coz we just crash to sleep for our early morning trip. Overall, everything went well and practically just what we need to experience Nubian community. Thanks to everyone for their hospitality.

Among the facilities of this property are a restaurant, a shared kitchen and room service, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The hostel features city views and a terrace. This beautiful guesthouse hosted by the most wonderful lady has an incredible view of the Nile. The facilities are clean and the bed and pillows are very comfortable. The breakfast was absolutely delicious and she was kind enough to make us a superb dinner too as we were too tired from our travels to go out. The lovely host is responsive and happy to organise cheap transport for you to go wherever you need in Aswan. It might seem out of the way but the location is perfect for all the sights. I would 100% return here to enjoy the beautiful view, the delicious home cooked food, and the company of the wonderful hostess.
