Guest reviews for Om-Abdallah
"If you are looking for a place to stay at in Aswan and you are considering Elephantine Island for your stay, then look no further. This place is the place to stay at. The location is great, the accommodations are great, and the host is truly great. He will make sure you feel at home and provide a great conversation. It is a short walk from the ruins and everyone knows the host. He will schedule the ferry for you if need be and will be message away if you need anything. The place was great and comfortable. It is definitely a diamond to find and to stay at."
"It may be a little difficult to find, going through the buildings and walking alleys but you will find signs to guide you. It is not that difficult but it can be."
"Mr.Said was very kind and showed great hospitality."
"Nothing, everything was good."
"Saef's hospitality is unmatched. His kindness alone made it such a great stay; he provides snacks and tea, makes an AMAZING omlette, coordinates transport/tours, and is wonderful to talk to. Outside of that, everything I was looking for accomodation-wise was there: the Wi-Fi was strong, room was comfortable, and shower was hot."
"Nothing. I highly recommend staying here."
"Saif was a real joy to meet and was a beautiful host; genuinely concerned about my having a positive experience. The room was quite nice, comfortable bed, large mini-fridge,large private bath ( water pressure was a little on soft side, but plenty of hot water). There was a shared kitchen and Saif provided options for breakfasts and dinners at a nominal cost- aromatic and delicious. Large, comfy common area with water and fruits available everyday. Rooms were secure and nights were quiet so sleep was sound and deep. Everything was walkable from house so a very convenient location. Saif is a wonderful host. Ferry runs very consistently and only 10egp to cross."
"Elephantine island is a little challenging to navigate due to the many winding and narrow walkways between all the buildings. I'm not great with direction so I kept missing turns, but the locals were always so nice in helping me find my way. It is actually a wonderful village with no cars and no horns and I always felt totally safe. The "inner courtyard" view left a little to be desired."
"The host's hospitality and kindness, the neighborhood, and the whole ease in experience."
"Aucun."
"Gracious and welcoming host made me feel comfortable especially after the chaos of Luxor. He walked me to a restaurant on the Nile and sat with me until the food came. Felt genuinely cared for. Room was way above expectations."
"Aucun."
"Staff was very friendly and helpful. It is so quiet and calm here with a nice lounge area to sit and have tea or coffee."

"Everything was great! The brothers who run the place were amazing and provided excellent hospitality. They also set up my tour to Abu-Simbel and airport shuttle at a great price."

"Kind and friendly host: Mr Saif. He cooked a homey dinner for us and breakfast, but too much food for us! He was very helpful with our children, offering fruit, anti-mosquito and did our laundry for a fee. Also took us to his friend who has a pet alligator! Wireless Internet works well. We had 2 simple rooms,with perfectly clean and functional bathrooms. It's a few alleys away from the public ferry, max 10min walk with small kiddy legs. Extremely calm. Would definitely recommend. We went to swim at Basma Hotel on 3 afternoons. You can order a meal or drink and stay at the pool! They have changing facilities."
"Aucun."
"The island is very quiet and I felt secure. The delicious breakfast was sufficient food for the entire day. The staff are helpful and kind. Many people coming from Sudan, as I was, felt at home here."
"Water pressure was sometimes an issue, but that is to be expected."

"Baraka Camp is a place of friendship, relaxation, and beauty. I spent a week here on my own as a solo female traveller, and had a wonderful time. I felt completely safe and met lovely other travellers both from Israel, Egypt and Jordan. The staff is most hospitable and helpful, and always come with a good attitude. The food is tasty, and better than many places around, they make the effort to even plate the dishes beautifully. The beach is sandy, but to get into the water, you have to walk on a soft flat rocky area that leads to the drop off where you can go snorkelling. Unfortunately, the reef around South Sinai seems to be suffering in recent years, but they are still fish and corals. The bungalows are new, with a new clean bathrooms, and have hammocks at the front. You get clean bedlinen, and nice blanket, and all the electricity works! I will definitely be back!"

"Amir Palace Hotel is located in a working-class neighborhood near the station. I’m the side streets there are all kind of small shops and market stalls. The staff of the hotel do not speak English very well, but they are friendly and helpful. They arranged for me to travel to Abydos by taxi and with a translator to visit the famous Temple of king Seti I and the 5,000 year old enclosure of king Khasekhemwy."

"Exploring Siwa with Adham was exceptional and the city is magical Adham was very welcoming and is a very nice companion, god bless him and his family. We went to various places in the city and I enjoyed each of them :) The places, the people of Siwa, the atmosphere, everything was so beautiful that it would make you want to return again to it."

"Heavenly stay in the heat of Siwa Oasis! The staff is so welcoming and helpful, they made my mum and I feel so welcomed! Shakshuka (eggs with vegetables) is not to be missed for breakfast. The rooms are equipped with pillows, soft blankets, hot water, fridge, TV, and a spacious closet. A huge thank you to the owner (Amr) and the amazing team: Mohamed, Ahmed, Shaaban, and Hussein. I can’t wait to be back. Bonus: they have camels, dogs and cats around the property if you love animals, this is your spot :)"
