Hotels near Sehel Island, Aswan

We arrived at night, so we didn't know what it was like outside, but we were worried about the bumpy roads. We arrived safely at the hotel and checked it in the morning and found it in the souvenir district. It felt like a hotel in a village away from town, but the view was nice and the staff was friendly. I am glad I booked the hotel pick up and drop off. We requested that breakfast be served on the move.

Exceeded my expectation

What you see is what you get, very cute place. The whole village is super cute in dopamine style!  Breakfast is delicious, you can eat on the balcony and the scenery is particularly good, directly see the Nile!  The sister of the homestay also took me to touch the little crocodile for free! Super experience! This small village is especially suitable for hanging out and relaxing for a leisurely day!

Located in the middle of a Nubian village, this hotel is very different to the polished world of resorts and cruise ships that most tourists will see when they come to Aswan. There is a market in the area where you can buy spices, teas, and jewelry. The aesthetic and vibe of the place is bright and colorful, the people are super friendly and there are a lot of camels. Nubian Palace is not just a hotel, but also a coffee shop and restaurant. The food is AMAZING! They even packed us a breakfast box for our early morning flight.

I flew to Aswan and booked a hotel in this ancient Nubian village on Ctrip. The host of the hotel was very hospitable. He first handed over two cups of local scented tea, introduced the local customs, and also took a tour of the village culture for free. The room was clean and tidy beyond our expectations and air conditioning was provided. The hotel owner also helped us book a 7 o'clock SUV trip to the Temple of Ramses II, 280 kilometers away, at a discounted price of $90 the next morning. They also prepared breakfast for us to take on the road, thank you very much! The Nubians are very kind and innocent. It is said that they are descendants of the ancient Egyptian kingdom. They are an Egyptian tribe with historical origins, which are different from the Cairo people who are mixed immigrants.

This is a very contradictory B&B hotel that I don't know if it is worth recommending. Its shortcomings and advantages are very prominent. It is suitable for Internet celebrities to make photos (the following photos are all original photos without retouching), but it is not suitable for anyone who has certain requirements for ”accommodation” itself. If you can find any cheap + clean + similar scenery alternative hotel, it is recommended to change it, but if it is just for taking pictures and scenery, it may be ranked at the top in Nubian Village. First of all, you have to be able to tolerate: 1. The hotel price is not cost-effective in the peak season, and the B&B offers the price of a five-star hotel. 2. Poor room facilities, rough-style furniture and narrow rooms, worrying bed sheets, bathroom shower water overflowing and drainage is useless, no slippers, toothbrushes, hair dryers (phone front desk can provide). 3. The breakfast is self-service and extremely simple and unpalatable, unlike some people who commented on the set and inexplicably praised it. 4. Tolerate or pay more to continue to tolerate the complaints of the chartered driver to drive into Nubian Village, and then contact the hotel by yourself in the middle of the night to change to a three-wheeled motorcycle in the deserted and dark mountains for 15 minutes to doubt life and reach the mountaintop hotel. 5. Other prices are very unreasonable. We originally wanted to book dinner for the New Year's Eve party, but it cost 100 US dollars per person... What did we get here? 1. The balcony of the room can see the unbeatable sunrise on the west bank of the Nile. We witnessed the first light of 2025 here at 6 am. 2. The various poses in the cultural buildings of the Nubian Village are very photogenic. 3. The desert next to the hotel is very photogenic. 4. A very special cultural experience of a group of tourists jumping up and down the mountain in a row of three-wheeled vehicles. 5. The hotel service staff is relatively friendly. Finally, it is explained that Egypt is not a country where tipping is allowed. Carrying luggage is a basic service of any hotel in their country. No one asked for tips during the entire stay.

Meeting the blue lotus means meeting the beauty of Egypt The most satisfying and cheapest hotel in Egypt on this trip, the view is not inferior to the Old Falls Hotel, the front desk is very nice, the restaurant waiters will enthusiastically ask you if you want the meal to be delivered to the room, and will help you reheat the meal because it is windy in the open-air restaurant. In Egypt, you can actually meet waiters who refuse tips (because they are Blue Lotus). I can't praise it anymore, hahaha, because the hotel's reception capacity is limited.

This small hotel is in a small village. I went in February. It was dry and cold. The air conditioner could be cooled. The wind in the door was very strong. The panoramic room had a balcony on one side and it was colder. Sara at the front desk is more professional and can ask her if she needs to ask, but she goes to work at 10 am. The one in charge of the bar was very unreliable. The pot of hot water for us was unwashed. The pot of milk was released. The water soaked was all paste. The food and hygiene were completely untrustworthy. And sold us two bottles of water. We didn't order it, he took it directly to us. So we thought it was breakfast, and finally showed us the price list and asked us for money. I said you didn't tell us, he said you didn't ask. Aswan's first stop impression is therefore very poor!
