Nubian Holiday House & Restaurant

Loved this property. Me and my family were extremely comfortable in this holiday house. The location is perfect and the waterways provides an easy commute. The ferry point is just 2 mins walk away. Tomb of Nobles is 2 mins walk away as well. The location provides a quiet and peaceful environment. You get a river view from the terrace top restaurant. Overall a good experience.

We came here to get some lunch before going to the tombs, and we couldn’t have wished for anything better. After traveling around Egypt for over a week, this was seriously in our top 3 of best food we’ve had (completely by accident as we just ran into this place). Definitely worth it and reasonably priced! Don’t skip this place if you’re here

A friend and I stayed at Nubian Holiday House & Restaurant for three nights. First of all, the place is simply gorgeous. It represents the traditional Nubian architecture both from the outside as well as from the inside. It is just a joy to be in. The rooms are clean and include all the essentials. The restaurant has a beautiful view of the Nile and literally serves Nubian mum-food as the meals are prepared by the mother of Baher. Baher is the friendliest staff one can wish for. He provided us with all the information we need, be it related to Aswan, nearby temples or how best to travel to other cities. He introduced us to Nubian music (which we thought was Sudanese) and even invited us to his wedding one day for us to experience Nubian music live. Finally, the location is also quite convenient, as the place is five minutes walking distance from the port where the boats to the east side of the Nile take off. All in all, staying at Nubian Holiday House was an immersive Nubian encounter on its own and made our trip to Aswan much more pleasant.

Only went to get food here, but it’s literally the best food I’ve had after travelling Egypt for 2 weeks. Very nice staff as well.

Best stay of Egypt, Aswan. People here are so nice, the food is great and the vibes are amazing. Down at the river is a farm which can be visited. The view from above over the river is like a dream :) from Cairo to Aswan in two weeks I must say this is the best place of Egypt, yes!

7 of us stayed here and loved it! Great location: peaceful and clean, and a short walk to the ferry. Habib is fluent in English and very chill. Breakfast was included and great—we also opted for dinner. I’d recommend this guesthouse for single travelers and families alike.

We stayed 3 nights with the family and enjoyed our stay! This is a basic, air conditioned and very clean hotel with very friendly staff and a fantastic view over the Nile from a roof terrace that always has a nice breeze! Breakfast is good and in the evening a typical Egyptian dinner can be ordered. To get to the East Bank one can take a ferry that runs constantly until 22:00.

5 stars!! By far the best place to stay in Aswan. Friendliest staff by a long way. Very chilled and peaceful. There is also the friendliest little dog, who is an absolute treat. Rooms is so clean you can take a cup of tea at the roof with a wonderful view. A definite must if you are in the area.
Thanks Baher for your hospitality

The hospitality of these people is amazing, the place is clean, the food delicious, and there is a terrace overlooking the Nile. West bank might be harder to reach and a bit underdeveloped, but it's also more authentic and we highly recommend it. My husband and I would love to come back.

We had an amazing 3 night stay at the holiday house. All of the staff were great and every meal we had was excellent.( Even when we forgot to order it was no problem) we had a boat for the day organised for us one day and the public ferry is a very short walk along the river from the house.

Super nice place! Beautiful Nubian house, Perfect if you like hostel / little hotel vibes. Super nice for staying with friends, they have a very big terrace upstairs to chill while admiring the Nile!

It's really comforting place. You feel home easily. Everybody there meet you with a smile full of love. Rooms are clean. Roof has a great Nile view . You can go easily to Aswan the city with a very near , cheap ferry. Go and you will not regret

We stayed in nubian holiday house and we felt completly at home! Perfect place to relax and to visit Aswan. It stays near a friendly nubian village wich we loved to be lost for one day.
The house is amazingly clean and have such beautiful rooms and decoration. Our Room was huge with a King bed and bathtube! The big living room with fireplace is so fresh to rest and so peacefull to read a book! The rooftop is also perfect to drink a tea and watch the amazing view over Nile. Is also were the breakfast is served. There is a pool/snooker table that makes the beginning of our day more fun.
The owners and staff treat us like family and we are going to coming back for sure. We already miss Nubian holiday. We hope it stays Forever like it is! It was one perfect experience that we want to repeat!

This Nubian house is so special, I really couldn't recommend it more. If you're not a big fan of these fancy and super crowded resorts with no character, then this is the place for you. You can reach it by crossing a ferry with the local people from the village, just across the train station..and then it's a 10 minute walk to the house.
The rooms and bathrooms are extremely clean and the staff is friendly and helpful. I would recommend having dinner on the rooftop at least one time and enjoy eating a wonderfully home cooked meal while watching the city lights across the Nile.
Ps. They also have an adorable dog!

I visited Aswan and had such a great experience with Habib and his family! They were so accommodating and friendly that immediately I felt like part of the gang, hanging out with wonderful people from around the village. Had so many laughs with these guys and was honestly an experience I will remember for a very long time! I am still in contact with Habib and his family and hope to return soon to get back to paradise. The house was very clean, with high ceilings perfect for ventilation, plus the food was delightful. Could not recommend this enough if you want to have a real Egyptian experience and really feel included in the wonderful culture.

The owners here are amazing! The house is designed like a traditional Nubian house with some western luxurys. The people there are amazing, they keep everything completely clean, even with a dust storm rolling though! The accommodation is great if you're not a big fan of massive hotels etc, this place has great character! The staff also will organise everything for you there for a reasonable price. If you want to travel back and forth from the main city you can take the public ferry which was around 1-3 £. Or you can get a taxi over, we got one for £60 but maybe £100 is the going rate as he sounded a bit annoyed even though he agreed to the price and tried to hike it up when we arrived.

We came to Nubian Holiday house for few days. The place is very clean, we felt at home. The Nile view on the terrace is wonderful. Habib was very friendly, he did recommend us few places and gave a lot of tips for visiting Aswan. Habib organised a minibus with a french guide for a day, it was very professional and we enjoyed it. I can only recommend this place.
Thank you Habib for everything, we will come back !

I stayed a couple days there, had my best time in Egypt. Habibi was a very nice person who was always there to offer you help and advice. This is the best hotel I found in Aswan, the house, the roof, the food , and mostly the people are fantastic. Highly recommended this hotel to everyone, you definitely need to stay one night there to see what a Nubian family is.

A lovely stay on Nubian Village, clean room, very nice typical house with friendly owner !! After being in crowded Luxor, it is exactly what you need 😊 I would have stayed more if I could !!

I came as Guest an go as a Friend. Quiet Location, near to the puplic ferry. The atmosphere at the rooftop is amazing. Ask for a room at the room.
The staff treat me anytime well. They cooked special vegetarian or vegan food for me! The food is very delicious!
It will come again!
