Reviews of Kabara Nubian House 5 stars

We really liked the people. The whole team was so nice and considerate. My wife was sick for the majority of the time we were there and everyone was very helpful by checking in to see how she was doing. I was also very sunburnt from being in Giza a few days before we checked in. They called a Tuk Tuk for me and we went to take me to a few Aloe plants. The food was very good also!

The WiFi was kind of slow and it didn’t work very well in the room. But i think it’s just temperamental because it worked perfectly in the room our last day.

This a unique property of Nubian origin. It was in a perfect location to the Abu Simbel Temple. The staff were absolutely courteous, friendly and very helpful. They went of their way to help us with all our needs. We enjoyed staying in this unique structure. The food also was very good. I recommend this beautiful place to anyone going to visit the Abu Simbel Temple.

Beautiful hotel, rooms were very comfortable and the staff couldn’t do enough for us, very pleased with this hotel and will happily come back.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The dinner was very nice and super great value for money

On booking.com it is advertised as a 5 star hotel. It is by far not a five star hotel. It’s a very basic Nubian guest house. The five stars are very misleading when booking this place.

If you visit Abu Simbel, you need to stay here The accomodation gives feeling of living in Nubian village type houses. Very beautiful Rooms are big, extremely clean. Beds are the most comfortable we slept on. Staff is very helpful and friendly Very close to Abu Simbel temple (5 mins drive) Breakfast is basic and homely. Omlette and bread basket with butter, jam and honey I liked the bread which is soft at top and crusty at bottom. Hot coffee or tea is provided

For Lunch or dinner, the food takes minimum 45-60 mins to arrive. Please improve the food service and delivery times. 1* cut only due to this reason

The service of the staff was very good. Normal early breakfast could be served, no packed boxes. The food was very good, both for breakfast and dinner. Location was good.

The beds were very hard, not comfortable. Pricelevel for this location was high, also for other services.

Nothing

Uncomfortable

It was just as wonderful as I had imagined. Dinner and breakfast were also delicious. The tajine pot was especially tasty. There was a bathtub in the room, and since it was very windy and cold at Abu Simbel Temple, it was nice to be able to soak in the bathtub when we got home. I asked a driver to drive me here from Aswan Airport, and he was very helpful. I am very grateful. I have been to Giza, Cairo, and Luxor, but The Nubian House in Abu Simbel was a place where time passed slowly, and we woke up to the birds singing. It was an unforgettable and wonderful memory for us. Thank you very much❤️

The hot water was poor. It was cold at night, so I wanted to relax and warm myself up with a hot shower, but after a while, only cold water came out.

The restaurant on site is good. We had dinner and breakfast there and were happy with both experiences. The portions are good, and the bread with the dips were delicious. The location is 20 minutes walk to the temple. The property owners are very friendly and helpful.

There is no shower curtain so water gets all over the bathroom floor, and we ran out of hot water halfway through our shower. It would be a good idea to install shower curtains to prevent water damage and guests from slipping. Lack of counter space in the bathroom, lack of closet to hang things. There is a dresser but you can't hang anything from it, nor were there any hangers to wash and dry your belongings.

The complex is really well kept. Very nice courtyard and the rooms are amazing. If you're planning a visit to Abu Simbel I'd say the overnight trip is really worth it.

Electric kettle is not provided in the room. Location is a bit farther to the temples than other options so you need a car. In any case, we had hired a driver for the trip so it's not something we needed to add up.

Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Very well docorated, beautiful looking place. Clean rooms and awesome food. Helped us book a sunset boat tour.

When I saw on the map and read in reviews that it was on Lake nassar, I was disappointed upon arriving that there is in fact no view at all of the lake. The place is situated on a reed filled cove of the lake. It's a pretty cove full of plants and wildlife, but not the views I was hoping for. Not a negative necessarily, just want to let other travelers know what to expect.

good food, very friendly and helpful staff - they help me to find car and driver from and to Aswan, and guid to the tempel. simple but lovely place.

Hospitality on another level, absolutely recommend. If you need a boat ride on the sunset or tickets to the light show of Abu Simbel, ask the host.

The rooms were big and spacious. The people were friendly.

The included breakfast was minimal. For dinner they charged 500le each and wasn't that great

The place is amazing, views over Aswan and the Nile are incredible. Rooms are really intricately decorated. The food is delicious and the staff are really friendly and helpful. They can help arrange tours making everything very easy. It's not far from the Nubian village and a short car ride into Aswan.

Could be a bit more environmentally friendly, e.g. a lot of unnecessary plastic used for covering food and in breakfast packs - but this was the only downside for me

The property itself was great. During the evenings, there's a chill atmosphere of simply sitting in their restaurant, enjoying the breeze, and being in a laid-back mode. Given how remote the place of Abu Simbel is, this is quite a good place to stay overnight with all the normal facilities one may need.

Like any other place in Egypt, the WiFi was just okay to text but not anything more, but that's okay. We had a 4G SIM and the network coverage was decent.

Colourful traditional Nubian style hotel. Friendly staff. Large room with out door sitting area. Very quiet at night. Comfortable beds.

It was very rustic and colorful . 10 minutes walk to Abu Simbel temple. Food was delicious, staff very hospitable.

The rooms lighting was insufficient
