    Nubian Lotus is a charming guest house on Elephantine Island. Osama and Marta were very accommodating. Osama came by motorboat to the ferry dock on Aswan to load our luggage on arrival and again when we departed. Breakfast was lovely upstairs...

    my family and I really enjoyed with the hotel. The owners treated us well. Especially, their homemade foods were all good and it was very quiet.
