They helped us with excursions and boat trips in good prices It is located on the Elephantine island. It just takes some minutes to get there from Aswan by the ferry. It was also very clean. I highly recommend it!!

Staying at Nubian Soul was my best experience in Egypt. Bibo the owner assists you with everything, but gives you the freedom to make your own plans. We spent every night on the terrace having drinks and making music with the guests including Bibo. On a few minute walk you can have a swim in a oasis of the Nile. The breakfast and dinner made by Bibo’s mother are absolutely amazing! I highly recommend everyone going to Aswan to book this gem on Elephantine Island.

The facilities are very nice, everything was very clean. Mohammed was the absolute best, extremely helpful. He arranged our taxi from the airport, and the boat to elephantine island. He also helped with our day trips to the different temples, and booked us a taxi to get to Luxor. He was very kind and nice. We would definitely go back.

: Very close to public ferries to Aswan. Rooms were functional, on the livelier side of Elephantine islands. Great views on the balcony for breakfast. Most importantly, staff were amazing, helpful and welcoming. They provided advice on how to get to main sites in Aswan, helped us secure good prices and booked day trip to Abu Simbel. Highly recommend this place and will definitely return! Thank you again for making our stay on Elephantine very nice and memorable , I was truly overwhelmed by the warmth and hospitality at this place. Ahmed the owner, along with his staff went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. They arranged a car from the airport, and the driver was in touch with me well in advance of my arrival. Despite my late arrival, Ahmed prepared a delicious homemade dinner at a very reasonable price. She also organized a felucca ride on short notice, again at a fair rate. During our conversations, I shared some stories about my family who couldn’t join me on the trip. In a beautiful and thoughtful gesture, Ahmed gave a small gift for my wife and kids — a touching example of Nubian hospitality and culture that really stayed with me. On my first day, her son kindly accompanied me on the ferry to help me get familiar with the area — another thoughtful gesture I really appreciated. Every request I had was taken care of promptly and with genuine care. Do note that the place is located on an island, so you'll need to take a ferry to get in and out. The service is frequent, but it’s something to be aware of when planning. Overall, an exceptional stay with an incredibly kind and generous host family. : They arrange for me all tours around Aswan and Luxor with very reasonable prices I will come back sure

Beautiful house on Elefantine Island. Everything brand new and of good quality. Host Abu picked us up on arrival, organised a free sunset tour (just tip the guide at the end). We also booked transportation to Abu Simbel and Luxor at a very reasonable price through Abu, in very comfortable cars. We were able to use the washing machine for free, there is an equipped kitchen to use. Food is very tasty. Beautiful rooftop restaurant.

Mohammed and his family were amazing in every aspect of the stay. They were always avaliable if we needed anything and were very flexible. He was also great at helping us arrange trips for a great price. The location was great with an amazing view pf the Nile and the Aswan bank, getting top and from the city is easy. I particularly reccommend eating dinner at least once on the terrace which Mohammed and his family will easily prepare for you, the food was great.

We had the most wonderful stay at Airkela! The rooms are clean and nicely decorated in Nubian style. You stay on Elephantine island, away from the busy city but so easy to cross. The staff was so helpful and nice. Special thanks to Abdullah for his hospitality and helping us to get around! They offer local tours and can arrange everything you ask for. Would highly recommend!

I’m convinced this is the best place to stay in Aswan. It might be a little bit hard to find in the island, but there were locals who kindly showed me the way upon my arrival. There’s a beautiful garden, the staff is friendly and the room is very nice. The breakfast they serve is superb and you can also buy water and soda’s for a good price instead of having to go to a shop. Extra points for having the goodest dog in Aswan.

The experience is unmatched. First homestay and very memorable. Family friendly atmosphere. Comfy room and bathrooms. Trip along the Nile to Philae Temple. Eating dinner together was special. Really tasty food. Relaxing in the evening and listening to locals play music. Being able to absorb the Nubian culture was special.
