Guesthouse Bet el Kerem - Aswan (Aswan) - Egypt

The first and only guesthouse in Aswan on the West bank. Top location near the Nile river, the desert and the Nubian villages; beautiful view. Private chef services healthy meals. Peaceful atmosphere, friendly and hospitable staff. “Feels like staying with family”; “a home away from home”. Two floors, 8 double rooms with air-conditioning, collective roof garden with restaurant. Quiet, in front of the Tombs of the Nobles, at the edge of the Nubian villages; Nile and desert view. The local ferry - within walking distance from the guesthouse - brings you in 10 minutes in Aswan centre. Facilities: transfers from airport (Aswan and Luxor) and Aswan railway station. Organizing trips to sights in and around Aswan. Bicycle rent, camel safari, ... Morefelucca trips.

The West bank is quiet and staying in the village means living with the local Nubian population (in pharaonic history "the black pharaohs"), who will welcome you as one of them, not as a tourist.
Although it is opposite Aswan centre, living in a Nubian village feels like being far away from the mass tourist resorts. This is highly appreciated by our clients. They learn about the Nubian culture and traditions and find back what is lost in the modern European life style: a relaxed atmosphere and a warm social community life.
