Pet-friendly hotels and homes in Jazīrat Salūjah

Our stay at Nala Narty was nothing short of exceptional and truly became the highlight of our trip to Egypt. We originally arrived in Aswan planning to board a Nile cruise, which was unexpectedly canceled the night we arrived. What could have been a major setback turned into a blessing in disguise, thanks to Sherif, the incredible host and owner of Nala Narty. Sherif went above and beyond to help us completely replan our trip—from arranging activities to sharing local insights—and ensured that our experience in Aswan was not only salvaged, but far exceeded our expectations. We ended up doing all our sightseeing and excursions with Nala Narty as our base, and we’re so grateful we did. The property itself is stunning—peaceful, beautifully designed, and deeply connected with nature. It provided the perfect calm and relaxing atmosphere we needed. The home-cooked meals were absolutely delicious, and the care and hospitality we received made us feel completely at home. What started as a disruption to our plans turned into one of the most memorable parts of our entire journey. We left Aswan feeling rested, inspired, and incredibly grateful. We can’t recommend Nala Narty—and Sherif—enough.

Stay and rooms at that place is too good. We didn’t expect it will be very neat. Would love to come back and stay at this place very calm and peaceful. We took Trip to Abu simbel is also very nice.

Loved the vibe of the property and the look of hotel. The staff was AMAZING very friendly, helpful in every way. Food was the best food I’ve had in Egypt. We didn’t end up eating anywhere else because the food was so good. The view of the Nile was beautiful.

Never expect the experience at Opal is so good. The welcoming drink: my favorite and local specialty—Karkadé, and then the Tagen Lahma served as dinner dish was also remarkably delicious. I have tried the other dishes like grilled chicken and fish fresh from the Nile which were also good. Hytham, Nasser and other staff helped me a lot along my 3 nights’ stay here, with notably hiring a local taxi driver, which saved me a lot of time. When there was a small construction on going, they changed my room to a quieter level. Hytham and Nasser’s English is good, no need to worry about the communication.

Our stay at Dolly Kato was nothing short of magical. Nestled at the heart of a Nubian village, this property offers a genuine cultural immersion that is truly unforgettable. The room's decoration was charming and reflective of the local culture, while the balcony provided breathtaking views of Aswan and the Nile. Watching the serene beauty of the Nile from our balcony was an experience we will cherish forever. The staff at Dolly Kato went above and beyond to make our stay exceptional. Their hospitality was unmatched, and they were always ready to assist us. When we needed to leave early for a trip to Abu Simbel, they thoughtfully prepared a breakfast box for us. The range of activities they offer, such as the boat ride and the drive to Abu Simbel, were not only reasonably priced but also of high quality. One of the highlights of our stay was the Nubian party with live music hosted by the property. The lively atmosphere and the enchanting music made the evening an unforgettable experience.

The hotel is a bit far from the village but it’s definitely worth it. It was one of the most special hotels that I have stayed. Dessert+nild view was spectecular.

Location was great! Owner has an incredible spice and perfume shop. Breakfast was good.

The unique Nubian architecture made our stay special, and we thoroughly enjoyed feeling immersed in this Egyptian culture. All of the amenities were perfect as well, with hot water, AC, and wifi working perfectly. We were also served with a delicious Egyptian breakfast in the morning.

Super friendly and helpful staff. The guest house is nicely decorated and clean.

The location, rooms and staff are excellent 👍

Location is stunning Staff friendly and helpful Price is right

Very welcoming hosts, clean and comfortable room, and a peaceful location in the Nubian Village. The breakfast was fresh and really good each morning.

Everything was fantastic. The food, the service, the short day trips, the view, the peaceful surroundings. Pedro was also a fabulous guide/host, very responsive and helpful. We could have stayed there 3 days. It is such a wonderful place.

Amazing for everything: staff, location, value for price, atmosphere, cleanliness. Perfect.

Every single second of our stay was admirable but I will try to conclude it in points 1. Very very very quiet place to have some peaceful moments for your soul 2. Nature evey where especially that the guest house is built in a nature preserve so you would see a lot of creatures in there nature 3 . Staaaffff what a great group of people they were very friendly very helpful and very kind to top all of that 4 . Mr. Nasser which is a great person ,helpful ,kind and smile bringer 5. Owner of the guest house Mr . Waleed is very kind and very helpful man ( he helped me puying some top quality spices and brought me a boat cruise for a very good price ) 6. Lamiaa the receptionist with the great smile kind attitude and warm welcoming 7. Mohammed and Mahmoud of the buffet they are the best 8. Top quality of food the chef was 👌 9. Amazing room space and cleanliness and one of the most amazing room views I have ever had Over all it was an experience that would never be forgotten with evey detail of it and actually I stayed there for 7 nights but I didn't want to leave at the end of the reservation that's how I was attached to the place

We loved the quiet tempo of life, no request was too big or too small and they really tried to accommodate us. There were lovely boat transfers to/from Aswan town! The rooms were very comfortable with a nice a/c! Other reviews said there were no towels, but we had towels, so that wasn’t an issue for us! It was our favorite place we stayed in Egypt. You can hike the Sahara sand dune behind the chalet at sunrise and see a stunning view over the Nile. They also sorted out a fellouca ride for us which was so lovely and definitely a highlight!! It’s not a 5-star hotel, so be ready for a little rustic living with some quirks, but the friendliness of the staff and the quiet from the town was absolutely worth it!

We had the most wonderful stay at this beautiful nubian house ,From the moment we arrived Mrs aAsmaa made us feel right at home with her warmth, kindness and genuine hospitality. The nile view is breathtaking and you can spend the whole visit in the terrace enjoying the scene. I highly recommend this house for anyone looking for a cozy, clean and welcoming place.

A very charming property on a magnificent Nile view. The staff was too friendly, helpful, polite and proactive. we had a complementary round shuttle service from/to the Airport with Mr. Ahmed who was very nice and gentle. The property Manager, Mr, Galal he was so nice and supported us when we asked for the attractions.
