Among the facilities of this property are a restaurant, a shared kitchen and a shared lounge, along with free WiFi throughout the property.

We spent two nights at Omar's guesthouse on Elephantine Island. The accommodation was clean and well-equipped, offering comfortable beds, modern bathroom and efficient air conditioning. The location provided a peaceful retreat from the city, yet it was conveniently accessible via a short ferry ride to central Aswan.The breakfast and dinner were delicious, and WiFi is available. Additionally, Omar arranged a trip to Abu Simbel for us, which even included a packed breakfast. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay and would rate the guesthouse outstanding. We highly recommend Omar's guesthouse to others visiting the area.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Property is in a quiet area of Aswan, away from the noisy city. Crossing the street it has an exclusive area to swim into the Nile river or do some kayaking, which are rented for a cheap price. They also offer water and soft drinks and a small breakfast included. You can easily spend many days relaxing in the hostel, without even leaving to do attractions.

    Great owner who was very helpful, the room was nice, and I loved the view from the rooftop! The hostel is on the island and is very easy and cheap to reach by public ferry (takes 5mins). Walking around the island is also fun. Check out King Jamaica for some good food. :)

    This village is great if you want to experience local life. The staff here are really nice and always ready to help with a smile. It's very safe to walk around this island even at night. I felt comfortable with the Nubian people and trusted them completely. For those seeking conformity, this hostel may not align. But if you want to relax and enjoy the peacefulness while looking at the stars, this is the place to be

    The very best hostel in all of Egypt. They have a bonfire everyday from 8 to 9 pm by the Nile and owner/manager Gandi was the best person I met in all of Egypt. We celebrated a birthday with the locals. The hosteliers were very engaging.
