Kony Nubian Guest House has quiet street views, free WiFi and free private parking, situated in Abu Simbel, 2.5 km from Abu Simbel Temples.

The nearest airport is Abu Simbel Airport, 2 km from the bed and breakfast.

The host of Kony Nubian may be the smartest host I ever seen in my trip of Egypt. Without losing any detail, he knows how to arrange guests’ dwelling to maximise their benefit . Also, he could read guests’mind. That’s the reason why I feel like a VIP in the period of staying in Abu Simbel. No doubt, the quality of the “guest house” is the best one I experienced in my trip of Egypt.

Boasting air-conditioned accommodation with a heated pool, sea view and a patio, Erki Guest House is set in Abu Simbel. This apartment offers free private parking, free shuttle service and free WiFi. The accommodation features airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available.

Erki House and owner Ahmed are amazing! The location is superb with a short walk to Abu Simbel. I can’t recommend enough staying at least 1 night in Abu Simbel and staying at Erki house! Ahmed is the definition of a great host and will go above and beyond to make sure you have an easy stay. I recommend letting him know what your plans are and he will help you with anything you need. Ahmed got me ticket to light/sound show and day ticket next day for Abu Simbel at same cost if you walk up to window but without hassle of purchasing one at temples. Erki house is spacious, clean and welcoming. The breakfast in the morning that is offered is authentic Egyptian made by his mom. I will be coming back to Erki house when I return to Egypt for sure! You will come as a guest and leave as family! Thanks Ahmed and Erki house!!

Featuring a terrace and views of sea, Abu simbel Nubian Guest House is a recently renovated apartment located in Abu Simbel, 1.6 km from Abu Simbel Temples. The property features lake and garden views. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared kitchen and free WiFi.

Big spacious rooms that were spotlessly clean and with comfortable beds. The showers were excellent too. The apartments were well equipped and the upstairs one had a nice big balcony to sit out on. Breakfast was very good and the owner went above and beyond to be helpful, including giving us welcome soft drinks, water, and a selection of fruit, driving us to a restaurant for lunch, and picking us in the evening after the light show was cancelled due to technical issues. He also organised a nice boat trip for us. This was one of the nicest places we stayed in Egypt and it was well worth spending the night to avoid the crowds and not have 6+ hours of travelling in a single day.

    During my tour through Egypt I saw the inside of many hotel rooms. I have had very expensive rooms and also very cheap rooms. Traveled from Cairo to Luxor nasr Dendera to Aswan to Abu Simble to Hurghada. But one room that I remember most is Erki Guest House. The owner and his family are extremely hospitable and helpful with everything you need to make your stay as pleasant as possible. Highly recommended for everyone, especially if you want to experience the warm hospitality of this Egyptian family. Super.

    Good choice traveling on car. Very nice and quiet place next to the lake. Small, family runned hotel , green, clean well maintained territory. Host is very helpful, ready to fill all your requests. Very good food for brekfast and dinner – local fresh fish is recommended. Room is bright, very clean bed linen and towels. Quiet air heater to the cold winter nights. Abu Simbel is very clean and pleasant town.

    There were not many options available for our dates and looking at the positive reviews we booked this guest house. We booked two rooms and they both had twin beds. Rooms were clean but bathroom and other areas of the house were not kept well. Kitchen was looking filthy and bathroom had a bad smell. There was nothing in the room - no coffee tea making facilities, no decor and not even a water bottle. Only positive was that host was very pleasant and friendly

    The guesthouse is located in a quiet side street, from where you can walk to the 2 temples of Abu Simbel in around 20 minutes. The host is very friendly and generous, for example bringing coffee/ tea or even something to eat at his own cost. He takes much care that you feel very well and I liked it much to talk with him. The room is clean, the bed good, but you should not expect a luxurious room. If you arrive by plane there is bus transfer to your accomodation free of charge.
