Nuba Dool

Location is elephantine but just 10m from the river. It's very budget and quite clean and safe. Hosts stay below on ground floor and there are 2 rooms only on first floor. Hosts were also very helpful in all queries and checkin chekckout were also smooth. Walkable to restaurants and points of interest on elephantine island

Liked: Nuba Dool was a lovely place to stay. Would highly recommend for those interested in staying on Elephantine Island. I found it comfortable, secluded, and safe even as a female solo traveller.

Disliked: There is only a communal fridge, and occasionally items would go missing. Otherwise, no real complaints. Be sure you know which ferry to take from main Aswan. The one by the KFC is far, so try to head further South.

Liked: Amazing location, very traditional, enjoy it a lot here

Liked: The people who own it are lovely. The daughters speak English and were VERY easy to communicate with and answered questions quickly. I appreciated that very much. They arranged transport to Abu Simbel which went well. You do have to take a ferry back and forth but it was super easy and 15 egp each way (about 30 cents in USD and took 2 minutes. I added a picture of the ferry spot you want to take because our driver was confused. Once off ferry, it was the 1st house. The rooms were rustic but good for the price. It is no Hilton but for the price was great. The bed was new (a little hard/ uncomfortable but ok). AC worked very well. They cooked us breakfast (if you ask) for a small fee. Was great. Peaceful balcony for relaxing. A small community kitchen area on balcony was nice bonus. The people on the island were remarkably friendly. Good restaurants within walking distance on island. King Jamaica and Kona Kano (spelling?). I do recommend this place for an authentic Nubian experience.

Disliked: The bathroom door in the room next to us was super loud. They were our friends so ok, but if not it would have been annoying. I recommend they fix that. Otherwise, nothing was bad.

Liked: Great place to stay on elephantine island. Very close to ferry dock on island. Rooms big and spacious. Nice terrace as well.

Liked: Best place in Elephant Island and very comfortable to stay, the host is amazingly friendly and suggestible. Besides the residents over here are neighborly, I think stay in this inland is more safe than east bank. I love this island and this homestay.😄

Disliked: nothing

Liked: Wish the shower will be more up to date.

Disliked: The shower and bathroom

The location is very convenient, just a short walk to the left after getting to the pier. The owner is very friendly and keeps asking us if we want coffee or tea. The room is clean and hygienic. Concerned that we might not have water, they kept offering us drinks. Luggage storage is free, and they even gave us a small gift before we left 💝.
