From the moment I arrived at Nubian Palace Hotel, I was absolutely blown away. This place is truly a hidden gem and without a doubt the most impressive hotel I have ever stayed at. Everything from the welcoming atmosphere to the stunning surroundings made my stay unforgettable. The staff were beyond incredible — every single person I met was kind, professional, and genuinely eager to help. I felt like family from the very first moment. Whether it was assisting me with questions, organizing my tours, or simply making sure I was comfortable, they were always one step ahead. Special thanks to Hamo, who provided the best guidance and support throughout my stay — his knowledge, friendliness, and dedication made my experience even more memorable. The restaurant at Nubian Palace served some of the best food I have ever tasted. Every meal was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Dining there was a highlight of each day, and the service matched the quality of the food — warm, attentive, and always with a smile. Thanks to the hotel staff, I was able to easily book all of my tours and excursions directly through them, making everything completely stress-free. Their recommendations were perfect, and every experience exceeded my expectations. Nubian Palace Hotel is not just a place to stay — it’s a place where you feel truly cared for. I can’t recommend it enough, and I will absolutely be returning. Thank you to everyone at Nubian Palace for making my trip so perfect!

Nubian Palace - Best resort-style and relaxing place to stay in Nubian Village My husband and I stayed at the Nubian Palace for 2 nights! We had an amazing time staying at this beautiful resort-style nubian accomodation!! Let me start with the food. The food was DIVINE with amazing presentation and quite generous servings! My husband and I always shared one meal as it’s huge!! Their food was probably the BEST one we’ve tried in Egypt and we’ve already been to a lot of restaurants and hotels in Cairo, Luxor and Aswan! Next, the people. Probably the loveliest people in Egypt!!! We’ve had negative experiences as tourists when we were in Cairo and especially Luxor as most of the people we’ve encountered we’re too aggressive in terms of offering services at much higher prices, always expecting huge amounts of tips and asking for more and overcharging food, drinks and services. They will keep on physically following you even if you’ve already said No so many times. But the people in Nubian Palace have always been so sweet and accomodating, very relaxed and professional, they even packed us breakfasts without telling them to when we had to leave at 5am for our Abu Simbel tour and also on the day of our departure which was at 6am. Our room was also comfortable and cool because of the aircon with a nice view of the Nile river. They also provided generous amounts of toiletries in the bathroom and they are always accomodating to our requests. Their manager (I forgot his name), has always checked in on us if everything is alright. The photos that you see online are not enough, you have to be there to see it in person and feel the amazing relaxing vibes this accomodation gives!! Definitely the place to stay if you’re going to Nubian village!!!✨

This place is beautifully decorated in a traditional Nubian style. It feels like a dream sometimes. Getting to this place is not easy, 30 min from Aswan by taxi including a short walk by the village market (watch out the camels!) Or a costly motor boat ride, but it adds charm to the experience. Staff was super attentive, gave us a free tour in the village (refused our tip), and helped us organise a tour to Abu Simbel for the next day, including packing our breakfast. We saw a live music show also one evening.

Nubian palace is a really beautiful and Instagram-able place in the Nubian village. Breakfast was yummy. The food in its restaurant was scrumptious. Although it was a bit pricier than other restaurants, the food was simply amazing and the portion was big. Guests from other guesthouses also came for the food. Shoutout to the spaghetti and drinks!! Welcome drink hibiscus tea tasted so good. There was a shopping street nearby. Staff were very helpful and easy to reach. Bed was comfy.

It was located further in the Nubian village, expect ~ 35min drive to east bank centre.

In all honesty, there are no words strong enough to describe the feelings that you experience when visiting this place. First off, the actual accommodation is wonderful, really pretty and very clean. The hotel features a restaurant which serves homemade meals which are prepared on the spot and taste great. We opted to have dinner at the hotel all the nights we spent here because we simply wouldn’t bother to look elsewhere after dining here once - and we usually like to explore more options. In terms of service the hotel helped us organize our trips and excursions around the area, which was very convenient for us and, surprisingly was settled at prices very similar to the ones we found online (by unknown to us organizers) - sometimes even better! Lastly and most importantly, the attentiveness and kindness of the staff has been truly unbelievable. Every single person from the staff helped and answered every question we had and they were always happy to do so. We have travelled in many places around the world, yet the Nubian people have really been spectacularly amazing, both in terms of their hospitality and their kindness. Never have we ever felt so sincerely welcomed by accommodation staff. Each and every one have been unique in their own way and each and everyone stole a piece of our hearts. We will be back!

(1) The lady at the reception is excellent, very nice and friendly. The rest of the staff, too. (2) The cook and the food are wonderful. (3) The bed is very comfortable. (4) The Nile view from the terrace is impressive. (5) It’s a nice place to stay for a couple of days if you are not in a hurry or planning to embark on a cruise ship.

(1) The location - it’s too far from the airport and from Aswan. The road to get to the hotel is very bumpy. No taxi driver would be happy or willing to take passengers to the village where the hotel is located. (2) The WiFi signal in the rooms is extremely poor. (3) There’s no coffee nor juice included in one’s breakfast.

The property is in a very good location, just in front of River Nile. I used the hotel pick-up service, so did not get an issue to find the property. The staffs are super nice and very helpful. The food is awesome and dinning area is superb. You can enjoy the view of the river Nile while having the food. They provide a free tour to their village which is awesome and you will experience the Nubian life/culture. Overall very nice and comfortable stay in the Nubian palace hotel. They provide the car service to Abu Simbel and other local tours as well with a decent price.

I find that the rooms are very small and no space to properly open the backpack or trolley. Wifi connectivity is not good, other than these 2 issues, I do not find any other issues as such.

We visited whole Egypt from north to south and this was our last stay, a truly outstanding place. A unique and authentic experience. The route to the guest house has numerous beautiful local shops for souvenirs made by locals, some area may look dirty around, but when you arrive to the place is everything perfect. The staff is really nice, the room and bathroom is really clean and the food delicious. The management has offered us a free tour in town, airport transfer and we got a beautiful bag with breakfast to take with us to the airport. I could only recommend this place to anyone who wants to spend an unforgettable night in the Nubian village.

We had a really amazing stay at nubian palace. The place has an amazing view from the terrace, where you can sit whenever you want and wont be urged to buy something or something like that. I also really liked how calm it was. The noises of the city are gone, so you can really relax after a day in the city or a busy sightseeing. I espacially want to thank Ahmed, who is always there, always smiling and providing just the nicest and best service ever. We really felt at home because of him. He also made sure we get a really nice boat driver, so ask him for this. The driver was chill, calm, provided tea and snacks for every single trip and didnt hassle even once. He even waited for us at every single destination so we wouldnt have to wait for him or call him. The Breakfast is AMAZING. We could never ever eat everything. There was egg, flat bread, a salad, a local kind of cheese, two nubian dips for the bread that you could also eat just by itself and fried potatos. They also make you water with lemons or other stuff in it, which is safe to drink. They say they detoxyfied it, i dont know exactly what they did but none of us ever got any problems from it and neither did any of the other guests. For dinner we just stayed on the terrace, where they serve a variety of meals. A lot of guests from other houses came over every day for dinner so i am going to let that speak for itself. The rooms are pretty, everything seems like you live in a smaller version of the village around the hotel and everybody has their own house. There is air conditioning in every room, the beds are comfortable and everything was clean. Over all i can really recommend to stay here and enjoy the amazing place.

The only downside was that the shower was just built on the wall of the bathroom without an enclosure, so the whole floor of the bathroom gets wet. But we didnt really have a problem with it, they provide a swiper to clean everything up, so its just one extra step. And the shower itself was really good.

The manager of this hotel is amazing! His kindness and care to his staff and his customers truly made my experience in all of Egypt incredibly impactful!!! I went on a tour with him twice, learned a little but of Arabic meant his family, and visited his old home. Thank you for making my trip to Egypt so impactful.

It would be nice if when we have tours early morning we get something healthy to eat in our breakfast box like fresh sliced fruit instead of bread. However, I appreciate the effort to provide breakfast boxes when we have flights. This act alone shows how much the staff cares.
