We had a wonderful stay at Kato Waidi Nubian House. The staff were incredibly polite, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything we needed. They arranged all our transportation smoothly and made our stay completely stress-free. The traditional grilled dinner was excellent and felt very authentic. We highly recommend staying a couple of days to experience and explore the more traditional side of Nubian life.

Stayed here the night before starting a Nile Cruise. It's an unusual experience-the transfer from the airport eventually puts you in a tuk-tuk to get you there! And we had to take a boat to transfer to our cruise. It feels rustic, but in a good way. Staff very attentive, but not much english speaking. Rooms were simple but comfortable.

Great Stay. Great Food. Great Location.

The Nubian Village was fun, but neither of us were keen on shopping. But the hotel itself was very nice and a different experience for us. The food was wonderful and the staff very helpful and very friendly.

I really enjoyed my stay at this family-run hotel in the Nubian village. The place was clean, the family was very kind, and the location couldn’t be better — right in front of the Nile, with beautiful trees in the dining area that kept the space fresh and gave it a natural, charming atmosphere. It’s also right next to the dock where the small boats arrive, and in the center of the village, so everything is within walking distance. Just keep in mind that cars don’t go into the center, so if you arrive by car you’ll need to take a tuk-tuk for the last stretch. Also the prices for the food are not as expensive as others places such in Aswan

A great place along the Nile

The hotel was exactly what I wanted. Our room was comfortable and interesting, the people were lovely and helpful. The food was tasty and the view spectacular. Some of our taxi and tuktuk drivers needed help finding the correct hotel, but we were not in such a rush that it was a problem.

You can stay in Nubian village

Nice hotel to stay in Nubia village which is a must-visit place when you come to Aswan. The only difficult thing was, the only way to get to the hotel is by car or by expensive boat.

If you want to see another side of Egypt on your trip, spend some time in the Nubian area near Aswan to experience a different culture. The Kato Waidi Nubian guest house is rustic, colorful, and full of friendly staff and great food.

We liked the uniqueness of this area, Nubian Village, and the colorful of the properities. We stayed for two nights. The hostel is located on the Nile river that provides scenery views of the surrounding nature. The food was good. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable and the sheets were clean. The only issue, there was no internet in the room, just in the common area. Overall, the experience worths it.
