Heissa Hostel is located in Aswan. The accommodation provides evening entertainment and a shared kitchen.

The hostel offers a sun terrace.

The nearest airport is Aswan International, 11 km from Heissa Hostel, and the property offers a paid airport shuttle service.

On the banks of the river Nile Every single moment was valuable at this property like a wonderland of simplicity and beauty. Nothing could be a relief for soul like it was. Waking up every single day to see such a sun rise pallet could completely suffice, but limitless joy and kindness of warmhearted hostesses take it much further to become an implicit pleasure and connection. Thanks for “Rehab” the mayor😁 a name which means in English “the open arms welcoming person”, she truly was in all aspects.

At the hostel, rooms are fitted with a wardrobe. All rooms are complete with a private bathroom and air conditioning, and some rooms here will provide you with a balcony. At DoroKa Nubian House every room is fitted with bed linen and towels.

Very friendly staff headed by genuinely caring manager Mr Ahmed. I would recommend the place to anyone I know heading that way because of him.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    This village is great if you want to experience local life. The staff here are really nice and always ready to help with a smile. It's very safe to walk around this island even at night. I felt comfortable with the Nubian people and trusted them completely. For those seeking conformity, this hostel may not align. But if you want to relax and enjoy the peacefulness while looking at the stars, this is the place to be

    The very best hostel in all of Egypt. They have a bonfire everyday from 8 to 9 pm by the Nile and owner/manager Gandi was the best person I met in all of Egypt. We celebrated a birthday with the locals. The hosteliers were very engaging.

    One of the best hostels I've been staying at. Gandhi is really kind and will help you to organise your trip. The view from the rooftop is simply breathtaking and you can rent a kayak to enjoy the Nile in a peaceful way There is also a great common area where you can meet other travelers. Thank you for everything 🙏

    We were very impressed by the humility and the genuine service of the Nubian hosts. Mostapha, the owner of the building where the hostel is located, took us for a beautiful tour of the nile around Aswan in which we watched rare birds at the nearby protectorate, swam at bank of the river in a beautiful and crystal clean location, and finally, visited the lovely nubian village (gharb suheil). The breakfast was satisfactory, the room was spacious, and the private bathroom, located outside the room was workable. Great budget choice!
