Nubian Palace - Best resort-style and relaxing place to stay in Nubian Village My husband and I stayed at the Nubian Palace for 2 nights! We had an amazing time staying at this beautiful resort-style nubian accomodation!! Let me start with the food. The food was DIVINE with amazing presentation and quite generous servings! My husband and I always shared one meal as it’s huge!! Their food was probably the BEST one we’ve tried in Egypt and we’ve already been to a lot of restaurants and hotels in Cairo, Luxor and Aswan! Next, the people. Probably the loveliest people in Egypt!!! We’ve had negative experiences as tourists when we were in Cairo and especially Luxor as most of the people we’ve encountered we’re too aggressive in terms of offering services at much higher prices, always expecting huge amounts of tips and asking for more and overcharging food, drinks and services. They will keep on physically following you even if you’ve already said No so many times. But the people in Nubian Palace have always been so sweet and accomodating, very relaxed and professional, they even packed us breakfasts without telling them to when we had to leave at 5am for our Abu Simbel tour and also on the day of our departure which was at 6am. Our room was also comfortable and cool because of the aircon with a nice view of the Nile river. They also provided generous amounts of toiletries in the bathroom and they are always accomodating to our requests. Their manager (I forgot his name), has always checked in on us if everything is alright. The photos that you see online are not enough, you have to be there to see it in person and feel the amazing relaxing vibes this accomodation gives!! Definitely the place to stay if you’re going to Nubian village!!!✨

The property is in a very good location, just in front of River Nile. I used the hotel pick-up service, so did not get an issue to find the property. The staffs are super nice and very helpful. The food is awesome and dinning area is superb. You can enjoy the view of the river Nile while having the food. They provide a free tour to their village which is awesome and you will experience the Nubian life/culture. Overall very nice and comfortable stay in the Nubian palace hotel. They provide the car service to Abu Simbel and other local tours as well with a decent price.

I find that the rooms are very small and no space to properly open the backpack or trolley. Wifi connectivity is not good, other than these 2 issues, I do not find any other issues as such.

We visited whole Egypt from north to south and this was our last stay, a truly outstanding place. A unique and authentic experience. The route to the guest house has numerous beautiful local shops for souvenirs made by locals, some area may look dirty around, but when you arrive to the place is everything perfect. The staff is really nice, the room and bathroom is really clean and the food delicious. The management has offered us a free tour in town, airport transfer and we got a beautiful bag with breakfast to take with us to the airport. I could only recommend this place to anyone who wants to spend an unforgettable night in the Nubian village.

We had a really amazing stay at nubian palace. The place has an amazing view from the terrace, where you can sit whenever you want and wont be urged to buy something or something like that. I also really liked how calm it was. The noises of the city are gone, so you can really relax after a day in the city or a busy sightseeing. I espacially want to thank Ahmed, who is always there, always smiling and providing just the nicest and best service ever. We really felt at home because of him. He also made sure we get a really nice boat driver, so ask him for this. The driver was chill, calm, provided tea and snacks for every single trip and didnt hassle even once. He even waited for us at every single destination so we wouldnt have to wait for him or call him. The Breakfast is AMAZING. We could never ever eat everything. There was egg, flat bread, a salad, a local kind of cheese, two nubian dips for the bread that you could also eat just by itself and fried potatos. They also make you water with lemons or other stuff in it, which is safe to drink. They say they detoxyfied it, i dont know exactly what they did but none of us ever got any problems from it and neither did any of the other guests. For dinner we just stayed on the terrace, where they serve a variety of meals. A lot of guests from other houses came over every day for dinner so i am going to let that speak for itself. The rooms are pretty, everything seems like you live in a smaller version of the village around the hotel and everybody has their own house. There is air conditioning in every room, the beds are comfortable and everything was clean. Over all i can really recommend to stay here and enjoy the amazing place.

The only downside was that the shower was just built on the wall of the bathroom without an enclosure, so the whole floor of the bathroom gets wet. But we didnt really have a problem with it, they provide a swiper to clean everything up, so its just one extra step. And the shower itself was really good.

We really enjoyed our stay at Nubian palace. Saeeda, Ahmed, Mai and team are great and communicative and responsive. The place is beautifully painted and decorated, with a lovely ambience, rooms comfortable, food is delicious and they are very helpful and supportive in organising trips and tours both locally in Aswan but also beyond to Abu simbel and further away temples as well. The location is great for accessing Aswan and locations like the Philae temple. The guides they arranged were informative and helpful. The free local Nubian tour and experience was fantastic. Our children loved it as well. Highly recommend.

Nothing that we did not like!

The manager of this hotel is amazing! His kindness and care to his staff and his customers truly made my experience in all of Egypt incredibly impactful!!! I went on a tour with him twice, learned a little but of Arabic meant his family, and visited his old home. Thank you for making my trip to Egypt so impactful.

It would be nice if when we have tours early morning we get something healthy to eat in our breakfast box like fresh sliced fruit instead of bread. However, I appreciate the effort to provide breakfast boxes when we have flights. This act alone shows how much the staff cares.

It's a beautiful boutique hotel in Nubian village. Very clean and comfy rooms. It has a gorgeous terrace overlooking the Nile, so so peaceful. I stayed 3 nights there (originally it was 2 but I extended it by one more night as I absolutely loved the place). Special thanks to Samah, Saidah, and all the staff for their help, kindness and amazing hospitality. You really made my stay very pleasant in Aswan. The food in the restaurant is truly amazing! (thank you, Chef!). They also have a great free daily tour for the guests led by Ahmed (thank you!) who is a native Nubian and gives you insight into Nubian culture and everyday life firsthand. I'd highly recommend Nubian Palace to everyone.

Nothing

My room had a great view of the Nile. Huge breakfast.

I saw a quote written in the hotel "when hospitality becomes an art" and that's absolutely true! All the staff is warming, friendly and welcoming. Saeda, Ahmed and I totally forgot the name of the greatest chef and who gave us a free tour to the nubian village and told us stories and history of the village and even took us to a Nubian party cause I asked it and arrange everything without expecting anything besides helping. My mom and I stayed for 3 nigths (inicially we just booked for 2) we needed to move room every nigth cause it was for different rooms and reservations, but they made it easy by having the room ready earlier.

There is no place where to put the baggage in most of the rooms. Wifi doesn't work good in the rooms, just in the communal area.

The place is very well decorated. In a nice and tranquil spot. Good food and comfy rooms. The view of the Nile is very relaxing and can make you feel like you are somewhere special. The staff is amazing and very friendly, one of the best people I have ever met. Idris made us feel like home and we got along like he was an old friend of us. Nubian people are very friendly and it was also nice to learn some aspects of their unique culture. Definetely recommend this pleace to anyone. Far from the chaos of the city centre.
