We have nothing but good things to say about Habibi Nubian Guesthouse! We had a party of 6, booked the lower level which had 2 bedrooms, a living area, kitchen and attached full bathroom. Also booked a room upstairs with 2 beds and a shared bathroom. Both were very clean, and comfortable with AC. Habibi is a fantastic host! Whatever you need, he will accommodate you. He is quick to answer whats app, and he will handle boat transfers for you, set things up etc. It made things much easier for us as we weren’t sure how things worked getting back and forth from the 2 banks of the river. We also chose to eat dinner in the guesthouse and it was delicious with a very fair price. For 6 people it wasn’t even $10 pp USD. Well worth it if you want a nice meal delivered to your room! We also had 2 early days and (4:00 am and 6:00 am) and we had breakfast boxes to go for us in the refrigerator, as well as ample bottled water. Overall, a great guesthouse! We definitely recommend. Thank you Habibi for the wonderful...

Kingfishers, coots and the full range of heron on a marsh further on plus hoopoe, plus a meal with family after. Not...
Read moreHabib is a wonderful host. VERY helpful on all accounts. Strong WiFi which is extremely rare in Egypt, hot water and a comfy bed. On request, Habibi arranged multiple drivers to the Tourist locations enabling us to cover a lot of ground in a relatively short period of time. We liked it so much that we actually extended our stay at Habib's and commuted to Luxor from his place. There is a pharmacy & small food market that sells fresh product in short walking distance. It's a short ride or walk to the ferry to cross the river to the city. The local Nubian ppl were welcoming and very approachable. Btm line a very authentic experience with many comforts..I would...
