Guest Houses in Abu Simbel

We loved everything! Mr Ashraf our host treated us like family and helped us organise transport tickets to the sound and light and onward car to aswan. The room was spotless, the beds comfy and a lovely view to the water from our balcony. Highly recommend. Also very close to both temple and town easy walk.

Well, what a terrific place. Amazing location on the water about 15 mins walk to the temple complex. Very comfortable accommodation with large bedroom and bathroom. Wonderful sitting and breakfast area over the water watching the boats going to Sudan. Great breakfast but really the best part was the host and his family. English speaking they gave us some tips, some special tea for my unwell partner and drove us to an excellent Nubian restaurant. Fast wifi. A great stay.

The Hoster is a very friendly local man who is very patient and respectful of his guests. He was very reliable and considerate. We booked tickets for the light show that night and the sunrise boats the next day by him .he was very punctual and always contacted us 5 minutes before we were going, which made our trip very comfortable. There were welcome refreshments when we checked in, mineral water and fruit in the fridge, and he prepared coffee and tea for us at breakfast. A very memorable stay and will book again next time.

Such generosity and hospitality. We were looked after as if we were visiting family. The experience of Abou Simbel is one that we would have missed if we had not been staying at Wawat. We happened to be there at one of the 2 busiest days of the year. Assim, our host, personally arranged for us to attend all the festivities. He found us tickets to the night show and tickets to be at the temple for sunrise the next day, charging us only the ticket price in spite of all his work to get them. He then was up at 4am with us to ensure we were in the right place in the huge festival queue to see the remarkable sunrise event as designed 3000 years ago. We literally would not have been able to do this without Assim and Hamsah. And all with such warm, genuine smiles. Thank you.

Clean. Rooms large. Nice bathrooms. Great aircon. 10 mins walk to Abu simbel site. Owner helpful. He can organise things before you get there. He organised our tickets for AS and the sound and light show. He also arranged a great guide that was really good and informative. Place was lovely and nicely done. Was very impressed. Would definitely stay there again.

Our stay in Abu Simbel was simply sublime. Before arriving in Egypt we chatted with Safari to arrange transport after our stay (from Abu Simbel to Luxor with stops at Philae temple, Kom Ombo and Edfu), every question we had about the temples, transport, food in the region, etc. were answered/arranged in a timely fashion. When we arrived in Abu Simble our host was gracious enough to welcome us at 8 AM in the morning! He showed us our room, brought us some tea and told us to get some rest after getting up at 4 AM. When we were rested he told us the best time to visit Abu Simbel temple and the best way (on foot) to get there. He also offered us tickets for the light show at night. The next morning the arranged transport arrived at 5 AM so we had to say goodbye to our very kind, jolly and warm-hearted host. Just want to add that the arranged transport couldn't have gone any better! We had a great time visiting the temples at our own pace and an air-conditioned car to jump into at any time. Safari guest house, thank you for your recommendations and all the help. You are simply amazing, we are very grateful. Keep in mind : Egyptian bathroom standards differ from Western standards. Apart from that little thing this house and it's host are a one of the better options for your stay in Abu Simbel.

The location is good. You can walk 15-20 minutes to Abu Simbel temple. The place is very quiet and comfortable. The owner provide coffee, tea, fruits, and cold water for free. Breakfast is very rich in Egypt style. The owner provide any information you need. Everything is perfect and it is definitely recommended.
