FinlandA highlight of my 11-day trip through Egypt!
After experiencing all kinds of accommodations—including a luxurious all-inclusive five-star resort in Hurghada—this was hands-down my favorite hotel and the one I absolutely have to recommend.
The location is excellent, and thanks to the warm hospitality of the owner, I even got to enjoy a rare experience: swimming at a sandy beach on the Nile River. Yes, a beach on the Nile!
Each day we enjoyed delicious local Egyptian food for breakfast and dinner, made with fresh vegetables. The owner would personally introduce the dishes and explain how to eat them, which made each meal feel special. And let’s not forget Cooper, the adorable dog who kept us company during our stay.
The room was a bit small, but the staff were incredibly kind and made everything feel effortless. We had a 3:40 AM departure to visit Abu Simbel, and the staff were already up waiting for us—with a packed breakfast ready and even a boat to take us to the dock. Not once did anyone mention tips or extra charges.
If you've traveled in Egypt, you know how exhausting it can be to constantly deal with price changes and repeated tipping. Here, everything felt honest and respectful—you tip if and when you feel like it. That level of trust and kindness made a big difference.

From
TurkeyThe place is in a remote location in the calm waters, facing the Philae Temple. Room feels like a highly comfortable house in a dream village. Spa facilities are amazing, I would highly recommend the Egyptian hot stamp massage of Mrs. Zainab. The staff is super kind, joyous and peaceful, Mr. Shoum from the restaurant, making my check-out breakfast box with a fresh mango juice ready in a blink of an eye, Mrs. Merna and Mr. Joseph in the front desk being very helpful, upgrading my room to a jakuzi room, solving all my requests in minutes and, Mr. Besim delivering me my necklaces (that I realized that I forgot in my bathrobe’s pocket in the airport) in a speedy way right to the airport, all unforgettable… With the elegantly natural interior and exterior design in breeze of basil Ben Ben by Dhara is an oasis for Egyptian tourism.
Because the place takes place in the lower dam you need to reach there by taxi and take the hotel’s boat waiting in the dock, but it’s worth the distance. I’d highly recommend, do not hesitate.

SpainI love all of it! The location is perfect, the house is just beautiful with all the nice colors and paintings and amazing views to the Nile. I stayed in a very comfortable and big room with a small balcony. The staff is very friendly and helpful specially Aya and Tamer. And Tamer even speaks a bit of Spanish which is not common in Egypt. The breakfast is amazing as well as the Egyptian food options available if you want to have lunch or dinner. It is very nice to walk around the streets of the Nubian village and there is a local market very close where you can find lots of nice things.

This hotel is now one of our favourites. It was such a unique place to stay. If you are hesitating, don't! It was a great choice.
The decor, in traditional Nubian style, is colourful and amazing in every last detail. The location allows for an outstanding view over the Nile river - we couldn't stop looking at it and we stayed in the infinity pool for a long time just watching the boats. The pool is refreshing after a hot day. There are also comfortable lounge chairs around the pool area that also have a view (as well as from your balcony). The drive to the hotel is up a long bumpy road by car or tuk tuk and you will feel like you are in the middle of nowhere, but this allows for a very quiet stay and the beautiful view! We were worried about not being in Aswan but, in our opinion, this was better.
The shower pressure was great and the air conditioning works very well. The bed is very comfortable with great pillows and linens.
The staff is kind and they arranged all our excursions and drivers and that all worked very well - on time and organized and we thought it was reasonably priced. It is perhaps best and easiest to organize airport pick up and excursions with them as the hotel is quite isolated.
We ate dinner at the restaurant every night and the food was the best we had in Egypt - the Nubian tagine was great. There is a large variety of food to choose from. The breakfast was eggs done any way you would like, baloney and cheese slices and yogurt and pita. It is served fresh (not a buffet) which we liked, just leave a bit of time for it to be served. There was plenty of food to fuel up for the day.
We watched the locals and tourists swimming in the Nile for a long time and wanted to try it and the staff showed us a staircase down the hill behind the hotel for us to walk down. It looks steep and long, but is reasonably easy - ask the to show you - it was so fun!

it’s in a very central place, down stairs you can find the market, and it’s also not far from the Nile river. the room is big, the staffs are nice, we all feel safe and comfortable here. Also the car service from this hotel is nice. The car looks new and clean, the drivers are professional and won’t take us to the unwanted shopping stores .
Who I want to mention is Aladin, he has charge of reception. He is very professional and patient, even when we have some misunderstandings. On one occasion, we lost a sunglasses in the travel bus, he helped us to make a phone call with the local driver and found out a simple but perfect solution to get the glasses back very quickly. we all thanked him.
In the future if I take my parents to Aswan and have a travel, I will choose Cleopatra hotel again ;)))

We left Citymax Aswan with the best impressions. Its location is perfect, the view of the Nile is stunning and you will find everything you need (ATMs, food, the local market etc) right next to it. Ms Martina and Mr Mohammed are excellent professionals, and everyone was helpful, assisting us in everything. They made sure we have a good time and helped us navigate in Aswan. The rooms are very clean and nicely decorated. There's wifi everywhere. Breakfast is rich and has many options (local, vegan etc). Usually, during our journeys we prefer to eat in various places, but we gave a try to Citymax restaurant and the food was great in quality, quantity and price.
Definitely recommended!

The people are so friendly and welcome, we can trust them and enjoy. It’s so close to the temple that you just need to walk five minutes straight to be at the temple. They welcomed us with hibiscus iced tea that was delicious! And the breakfast was also very good, complete and with Nubian specialty. They assisted us with everything, if you need transfer from and to Aswan, you can trust them, it will be cheaper then talking to guides or other transfers.

Visit the temples in the afternoon (after 03.00pm) because the is nobody (except perhaps some extroverted sceaming chinese girls - but once they are gone). Yes, it´s hotter than in the morning and the light is not prefect. but you will have the temple for yourself and you will be able to make perfect photos from inside.

The stay at Abdu’s houseboat was nothing but mind blowing.
I stayed in the houseboat for 5 days with my mother. We both feel like we gained a friend in Abdu and hope to see him again one time. He is so kind and caring! Not only did he help us arrange everything in terms of tours (to Filae, Abu Simbel, a Nubian village, the botanical garden and more) and activities (Falluca sailing, Zaraha sand meditation, bird watching trip, exploring the Souk, swimming in the Nile, transfer to Luxor via Edfu and Kom Ombo and more), he also helped us with his second smaller boat to get everywhere, get local products for local prices, assimilate to the local culture by clothing and customs, cooked for us (he also made sure all food was well washed), helped us donate goods and clothes to the local school, and assisted us in getting tickets for the night train from Luxor to Caïro, ATM withdrawals and simcards). We truly think he has a heart of gold and works with honesty not soley for money.
His houseboat has everything you need for an authentic stay. Our cabin was spacious enough for the two of us and had an amazing view over the Elephantine Island. The terraces was facing the beautiful botanical garden on Kitchener Island. Due to the placement of the boat you have some shade in the morning and you can enjoy the sunset in the evening. If you look for a real experience and want to dive in the culture and day to day livestyle on the Nile, the boat is definitely something for you.
We are truly greatful we’ve met Abdu and can definitely recommend a stay with him on his lovely houseboat. We hope to see him again one day!

From the moment I arrived, I felt embraced not just as a guest, but as family. The warmth and genuine hospitality of the entire household created a peaceful refuge that allowed me to rest, reflect, and reconnect with what matters. I especially appreciated the loving way they cared for their children, the heartfelt conversations, and their openness to cultural exchange.
The meals were nourishing, the environment was clean and safe, and the small, thoughtful gestures—like helping with errands or offering fruit—left a deep impression on me. I was also moved by their humility, sincerity, and the quiet strength with which they manage the responsibilities of life.

We spent a lot of our time just enjoying Elephantine island, which is quite, safe, and very relaxing, compared to much of the rest of what we experienced in Egypt. There is certainly enough to explore in Aswan that one could easily spend several days.

Abu Simbel is truly breathtaking.
Abu Simbel is truly breathtaking. We visited around noon on a blessed day during Ramadan, so there weren't many tourists. At times, it felt like we had the entire sites to ourselves. You can walk or take a transport cart to the sites.

Allow at least 2 full days for Aswan region. It s a great stopover for a break after the madness of the tourist sites. The Nubian village ( with the colored walls, where all the motor boats end up) on the other side of the town has been a place where i could have made local friends if I stayed longer. Of course the money making is also there in the mindset, and it s over touristic but you experience the vib of a local village if you stay overnight there. I suggest Ekadolli guesthouse for location outside the touristic area, still close enough to the village, up a hill offering nice view at the Nil. Nebro Guesthouse is better if you wish to wake up right beside the river, in the heart of the village but quiet enough.

In my case it was a check on my to do list.
In my case it was a check on my to do list. Went from Luxor day one, over night in Abu Simbel town and day 2 visit the tempel for 2 hours, then back to Luxor, a trip 2 x 500 km.
Interesting to have seen, impressive story!
