The food is just amazing (we ate only here all the time), everything is clean and cozy, the hosts are extremely nice and welcoming, and if you are interested in any trips, they will help you with that easily.

I arrived as a guest and left as a friend. So Many kind and helpful work at that place, I felt like part of the family. I will come back soon to meet Bassam, his Friends and his staff again.

All was great! This is our 9th trip here and we love it so much! Basaam is awesome and it’s the most authentic stay in all of Aswan!

Had a wonderful stay here! The owner was super communicative, and both the room & bathroom were spotless. They even packed us a decent breakfast box. The musical evening was a highlight, immersing in their culture and stories made it even more special. Truly one of the best parts of my Egypt trip!

We felt more than welcome in here. The staff was absolutely wonderful and helpful in every way possible. The laid-back attitude and peaceful guesthouse was a refreshing oasis in the middle of our otherwise stressful journey. The genuine atmosphere and invitations to hang out with the locals made us feel home and seen as people, not just as tourists and customers. Strong recommendation. Definitely will come here again if I ever find myself in Aswan again. As a plus, the location on the west bank near the public ferry enables a more peaceful experience than staying in the city, but still an easy access for a city visit. Oh, and the breakfast was amazing, make sure not to miss it.

Wonderful staff and available all the time. The location is perfect for travelling 🧳by public ferry ⛴️ East 🔛 West. You are 😎 at the ancient Tombs with no obstruction in sight. Plenty of space at the premise. Different atmosphere and well designed ground open area( comfortable ⛺ + 🏓 table + open 🔥), or the charming upper floors(bedrooms + sitting area) or the open roof top floor. The food was 😋 and generous portions. I enjoyed the company of the staff and visiting locals and the 🎵🎶 sessions.

There is nothing we did not like. I highly recommend this place.

From start to end we enjoyed our stay at the guesthouse. Depsite the fact we sadly booked only one night we were warmly welcomed and served a wonderful dinner (contact the guesthouse to reseve this in advance). A nice surprice was also the invitation for a Nubian coffee and music after dinner and learning more about Nubian culture. The guesthouse also offers a lot of activities including sandboarding and camel riding. It was a wonderful experience for our kids!

No much I didn’t like. I would say maybe more food option at lunch time. The dinner was amazing so amazing u wish he did lunch too. But he didn’t only breaks at and dinner.

Hussan the host made my trip even better, he was very knowledgeable I could ask him anything and he will help me as best as he could. We end up hanging with each other most days.

Nothing comes to mind. It was amazing.

The family that runs the house is super hospitable and welcoming. The place is clean, in a quiet location and has a beautiful view of the Nile and Nubian tombs. Beds were comfortable and showers were hot. The rooftop was amazing for relaxing. The nightly family dinner is delicious.

Wish i could have stayed longer

The place is in my top 10 places i have stayed ever , so much character and the people running it are so generous, they even played ping pong with my son jonas to give me a rest :)

If you want to eat out, there is not much around here in the way of restaurants. So you probably should take the ferry across to the city. But the home cooked dinners here are very good.

If you are a ethnomusicologist you must stay here. If you want to experience Nubian life and music you also must stay here. Every evening after dinner the instruments come out and you are invited join in. You can listen to the traditional rhythms and melodies of the Nubian people. If you are a musician yourself you will be invited to share a song. There are guitars and frame drums to play and sometimes a keyboard. You never know who will show up on a particular evening. Sometimes guest musicians come from farther away and sometimes it is just the family. This is not a performance. It is a traditional Nubian music jam. So if you wish a laid back emersion into Nubian culture, come here. The family is beyond welcoming. You will be greeted with loving hearts and they will help you with anything you need. The location is across the Nile from the city of Aswan so you must take a ferry to get here or drive the long way around. Ferry is only 10EGP or about 20 cents.

That I could not stay longer

The kindness and the open spirit of the Nubian people

I had a wonderful stay, it was incredibly comfortable and truly felt like I was at home. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a special touch of cozy charm throughout. One of the highlights was the fantastic music jams they hosted—such a great experience! The live sessions were full of energy, and the music itself was excellent. It really brought everyone together and added a unique, lively vibe to my stay. The hosts were also extremely helpful, going out of their way to make sure I had everything I needed. Whether it was offering local tips or just being friendly and accommodating, they made my time there even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a homey, and memorable getaway

It was an amazing experience staying in this Nubian guesthouse. Bassam the host is really welcoming, he invited us to Nubian coffee and we had great conversations learning about his culture. Breakfast that's included is great, and the access to fresh orange juice and water was another bonus. They also offer tours so you don't need to plan too much for your vacation. The location is also very good, being close to the public ferry to cross over to Aswan.

The place was clean and neat. I stayed in a tent and it was comfortable and fine. The hosts were generous and welcoming from the first second. This place will always be my choice in Aswan. Also, great music jamming sessions.

Bassam is a great host. We got a chance to understand more Nubian cultures like their music and coffee during our stay. The environment is very relaxing. The room is very clean and comfortable. Would definitely recommend this place.

I dunno where to start. The house is located in West Bank. We drove there from Luxor and was easy to find. It is located in a less tourist Nubian village which is really calm and relaxing. As soon you arrive you forget the stress of Luxor and East Bank and enjoy a moment of peace. The host gives you a welcome tea to set the tone. You listen the birds and enjoy the view from the Nile from the roof top. They provide you a Nubian breakfast which is slightly different from the Egyptian one. I will miss the Nubian bread! At night the host have friends around and do a Nubian coffee while playing music. The process is remarkable and tastes so different from any other coffee I ever had. The host is very welcoming and talks you through a bit of his culture. I felt so relaxed there that I wish I could have stayed more days. Everything is so clean and tidy and you feel like home. 10/10!!!!

The place is little difficult to be accessible by road from the other bank. So arranging transport for private excursions is little difficult

The place is like a cozy family home. We really enjoyed our stay. The jabana coffee was out of the world and the music at night was soothing to the soul. Mr.bassam was really helpful and the dinner that he had arranged was also really delicious. The hospitality by their team makes you want to stay there longer.

Fantastic stay because of Bassam and his cousin: they are just incredible people who really enjoy sharing their home and culture. The aunt cooked amazing late-night dinner and breakfast for us, everything was super relaxed and friendly, it all felt as if it came directly from the heart. Bassam even took the time to walk us through the village and some farming land to explain the culture and way of living of the Nubian people. If you are looking for a simple but special place with special people, then this is the right place for you.
