Miskaa Nubian House

“A wonderful stay with warm hospitality, great food, a beautiful location and excellent service.”

We had a fantastic stay at Miskaa Nubian House: the accommodation, food, location, and service were all perfect, and the boat transfers were excellent. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, especially the lovely breakfast team. A special thanks to Yousef and Medhat for going above and beyond to make our stay memorable. One highlight was their suggestion to visit Bob Marley’s Café on the island for sunset and freshly hand‑roasted coffee – a truly special experience! We felt very welcome and can wholeheartedly recommend Miskaa Nubian House. Thank you for a wonderful stay! We do have one small constructive point: as travelers, we value discovering the authentic side of Egypt – its people, traditions, and genuine hospitality. Unfortunately, this can be hard when shopping turns into organized tourist sales presentations with prices that feel far removed from local reality. We experienced this at the spice shop in the market. We wanted an authentic local shopping experience with trusted advice to find good quality at fair prices, not a tourist‑oriented sales situation. We understand tourism is important, but visitors like us value honesty, trust, and feeling treated as guests rather than potential customers. This isn’t meant to detract from our wonderful stay; on the contrary, we share it because we genuinely appreciated Egyptian hospitality and believe authentic, pressure‑free experiences are what make Egypt truly special.

“A great place to stay if you’re happy with the basics in life and just want a restful break away from it all.”

The property is very peaceful; you have to get there by boat. It’s run by several members of a friendly Nubian family. Once you’re there, there’s nothing to do; you come to unwind with a good book and rest. The views are lovely, given it’s situated right on the waterside. The menu was very limited, but everything was freshly made. It would have been nice to have a greater choice of food and drink. There were no towel rails and only a tiny mirror in the bathroom. It was rustic, which added to its charm but could have been improved with one or two more niceties.

A unique experience, away from the cities and noise, but just a short taxi from Aswan, plus the hotel provided a boat crossing. If you want something different this place is a great option. The staff are friendly, prices reasonable, food lovely. The Nubian people are super friendly and we were welcomed twice by locals who offered us a hot drink and wouldn’t accept any payment. The hotel has kayaks for hire, you can swim in the Nile. For us it was a perfect spot for a short stay relaxing after Cairo and Alexandria sightseeing and noise! If you want typical western hotel food and facilities this is not the place for you.
