At bob Marley you feel like home, the staff is very friendly and helpful. We felt welcomed the moment we got there not to mention the Nubian hospitality and always greeting you with a smile. They have a great rooftop restaurant with delicious variety of local and international dishes (unlike a lot of guest houses who don’t have their own restaurant) it’s very close to the fairy and has an easy access from outside of the Island would definitely stay there again.

Really nice rooftop restaurant, and very close to the public ferry. Room is basic, but comfortable and quiet, and we had some solid nights of sleep! Laundry service was a plus as well!

Juan Spain

My room was spacious, clean, and had a fan that kept it cool. The bathroom in the hall was also clean and large, and the property had wifi and outlets that accepted my chargers. Great view of the Nile from the rooftop and great location on the peaceful and safe Elephantine Island. Ali and his staff were wonderfully accommodating and friendly and helped me with everything I needed. An amazing stay for a great price that I would recommend to anyone.

Elephantine Island is a small, tranquil island, located 5 minutes by ferry from Aswan city. During ancient times, Elephantine was a fort that stood just before the first cataract of the Nile, at the border between the kingdoms of Egypt and Nubia. According to ancient Nubian religion, Elephantine was the dwelling place of Khnum, the ram-headed god. You can walk the ruins of the temple of Khnum and marvel at these ancient wonders. Now, the island is populated by four main Nubian families. It is safe and friendly, with children playing in the streets, and colourful Nubian artwork decorating the buildings. With no cars or motorbikes, it is quiet and easy to walk around and explore the various attractions. When you visit, you won’t want to leave!
