**Hi there, I’m Asim, the owner of Weawat Guesthouse.** I’ve been working in the tourism industry since 2000, and I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with some big names in travel, like Thomas Cook and American Express. I was born and raised in this beautiful city, and from a young age, I dreamed of creating a small hotel or guesthouse that was a little different—one that blended the charm of the past with a unique, fresh twist. Over the years, through working closely with travelers, I gathered all kinds of ideas and experiences that helped shape what Weawat is today. It’s a place crafted with love and care, designed to offer an unforgettable experience that appeals to travelers' hearts and desires. I truly hope that when you stay with us, you feel the warmth, the history, and the modern touches that make Weawat special. Looking forward to welcoming you and making your stay memorable! Thanks for choosing Weawat, and we can’t wait to have you here with us
Why It’s Special Staying here means more than just visiting a landmark — it’s about living the story of Abu Simbel. Guests leave with memories not only of colossal temples, but also of shared meals, Nubian songs, and the gentle rhythm of life by the Nile.
