Situated in Aswan, within 23 km of Aga Khan Mausoleum and 600 metres of Nubian Museum, Kashta Guest House & Hostel features a bar. Among the facilities of this property are a restaurant, a shared kitchen and a shared lounge, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The property is non-smoking and is set less than 1 km from Kitchener's Island.

We spent two nights at Omar's guesthouse on Elephantine Island. The accommodation was clean and well-equipped, offering comfortable beds, modern bathroom and efficient air conditioning. The location provided a peaceful retreat from the city, yet it was conveniently accessible via a short ferry ride to central Aswan.The breakfast and dinner were delicious, and WiFi is available. Additionally, Omar arranged a trip to Abu Simbel for us, which even included a packed breakfast. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay and would rate the guesthouse outstanding. We highly recommend Omar's guesthouse to others visiting the area.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit 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!
