Awi Guest House

"Les ciutats d’Egipte són molt sorolloses, i després de venir del Caire va ser un gran canvi arribar a Awi Guest House, un lloc tranquil enmig del Nil, concretament a l’illa d’Elephantine. L’Awi és molt amable i servicial. A la nit, quan vam arribar, ens va venir a buscar a la Corniche amb la seva barca per travessar el riu. També ens va aconseguir un taxi des de l’aeroport d’Aswan fins al centre, i un altre per fer el trajecte d’Aswan a Luxor. Ens va organitzar una excursió d’una tarda al Nubian Village amb la seva barca, una experiència molt recomanable. Per anar al centre d’Aswan també es pot agafar el vaixell públic per molt pocs diners. Esmorzar a la terrassa de l’Awi, davant del Nil i veient sortir el sol, ens va encantar. Serveix un esmorzar típic egipci. L’allotjament és un espai gran amb dues habitacions, un bany i una cuina-sala d’estar. Si vols una experiència autèntica, de contacte real amb el Nil i amb els pobles nubis, és un lloc molt recomanable."

"The owners were lovely, the location was right on the water, relaxing and calm. We arrived at 2am after flight delays and the owner picked us up in his boat and brought us across to the island and then walked with us to show us the local store before arranging a late breakfast for us the next day so we could sleep in. We stayed for two nights and on our final day, just before checkout our cruise cancelled leaving us stranded. He made some calls and arranged a driver and car to take us to Kom Ombo and Edfu at a very reasonable price. I would have happily stayed extra nights if we had the time. Very relaxing and peaceful ☺️"

"A light cover or blanket would be good. There was a top sheet and a very heavy and thick warm blanket, something light in between would be lovely."

"Beatiful location, spacious, new and clean room with a great view. Good breakfast. Awi was kind and supportive, picking and dropping us to Aswan upon arrival and departure."

"Some noise coming over from the other side of the river at night, but would come back anyway."

"I had a wonderful stay at Awi Guest House, a peaceful retreat on Elephantine Island in Aswan. The location is perfect for anyone looking to experience authentic Nubian hospitality while enjoying beautiful Nile views and a quiet atmosphere away from the busy city center. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with lovely terraces that make sunrise and sunset especially memorable. The host is incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with local tips, transport, and tours, which made the whole experience smooth and welcoming. Overall, Awi offers excellent value, genuine warmth, and a relaxing setting that makes you feel right at home."

"Awi Guest house is in a lovely location in the Nubian village on Elephantine island. The room and terrace looked out over a lovely view of the Nile. Awi looked after us superbly and arranged for his son to take us by boat to a very colourful vibrant Nubian village, which was great fun. He also arranged us a felucca ride at sunset which we really enjoyed. On our final day he made us a very early breakfast and took us over the river in his boat ( to save us getting the ferry). I thoroughly recommend Awi Guest house."

"Lumpy pillow!"

"Very nice accommodation located directly above the waters of the Nile, with a beautiful terrace, just a short walk from a supermarket, a public ferry pier, and restaurants. The owner is very friendly and always willing to help arrange anything you may need. He owns a motorboat as well as a larger boat with a roof. His services are a real experience, and the prices are very reasonable. This was my second stay in this house, and I believe it certainly won’t be the last. Highly recommended! Thank you for all the excellent service."

"Everything was the best..."

"The friendly family went out of their way to make their customers happy. The house is large, clean and has a wonderful view of the Nile. Near the ferry to Aswan, just minutes away, but on the peaceful island of Elephantine. On the day of departure we had to leave too early for breakfast, but they made us breakfast for in the bus, so sweet!!"

"Location : excellent - in an island and 5 min by boat from main island Lots of places to eat nearby ( king Jamaica - recommended place to eat) Staff: exceptional ( family run) Picked up at odd times from main island and dropped us back everytime by boat Offered so many tour options They even do have felucca boat on their own. Took us with their boat to Nubian village and also did felucca ride for sunset . Ahmed and his mom and dad were really kind and also the captain(forgot his name). Beds: comfortable Since I come from village I felt like home. Do not expect hotel like location It’s a guest house and it’s amazing experience."
