The first and only guesthouse in Aswan on the West bank. Top location near the Nile, the desert and the Nubian villages; beautiful view. Private chef services healthy meals. We organize trips in and around Aswan and Nubian cooking and music workshops. We arrange transfers from Luxor and Aswan. Quiet location, in front of the pharaonic Tombs of the Nobles, at the edge of the Nubian villages; Nile and desert view. Peaceful atmosphere, friendly and hospitable staff. Two floors, seven double rooms and one family room, collective roof garden with restaurant. The guesthouse is located on walking distance from the local ferry, which brings you in Aswan centre in 15 minutes. The West bank is quiet and staying in the village means living with the local Nubian population (in pharaonic history the black pharaohs), who will welcome you as one of them, not as a tourist. Although it is opposite Aswan centre, living in a Nubian village feels like being far away from the mass... tourist resorts. This is highly appreciated by our clients. They learn about the Nubian culture and traditions and find back what is lost in the modern European life style: a relaxed atmosphere and a warm social community life. In and around Aswan you'll find a lot of (historical) sights: pharaonic tombs and temples - The Tombs of the Nobles, - the Isis temple on Philae Island, The Kalabsha temple past Lake Nasser Other Nubian monuments around Lake Nasser the unfinished obelisk St. Simeon monastery from the 6th century The Nubian museum A boat trip on the river Nile is recommended, as well as a camel trip in the Nubian desert. or rent a bike at the guesthouse to discover the West bank on your own we arrange henna painting Nubian cooking class Nubian music workshop bird watching with a professional guide A day trip to the world famous temples of Ramses in Abu Simbel. And it's possible and not expensive to use the swimming pools of most of the hotels in Aswan.
