Guest house Bet El Kerem Guesthouse
Nagh El Kuba, Aswan, Egypt – Great location - show map
Abdel was a delight. Very hospitable and friendly. Exceptionally clean. Wonderful views from the terrace.

We had a great stay at Bet El Kerem guesthouse. The house itself is an old Egyptian family house with a beautiful garden and sparkling clean common areas. Great rooftop with dining area and Nile view. The breakfast cooked on site every day is delicious, especially shakshuka and taameya (Egyptian falafel). Location is very convenient 5 minutes walk from the arrival of the West Bank ferry. The guesthouse also houses a travel agency which organises activities in and around Aswan (camel safari, trip to Abu Simbel, felucca ride to Kom Ombo) with excellent service providers and at prices much lower than the ones proposed on cruise ships for example. The owner Abdel is very helpful and takes care of every detail along the way. Definitely a very good pick for a 4-5 days stay in Aswan, the wonderful capital of Nubia

Abdel made the stay excellent, very accommodating and he knows the area VERY well.. And they know him which helps!

I had very early starts so a box/carry away breakfast was provided rather than a regular breakfast. What was provided satisfied my needs. The owner was very friendly and helpful and the guests ate together at night which was good for exchanging ideas and sharing experiences. It is not a typical hotel setting: that can be a plus or minus depending on one's needs. Arrangements can be provided for a variety of tours and activities such as felucca sailing, camel rides, etc.

Super clean, great view, quiet, friendly staff, full of flowers, homemade breakfast, free drinks. Perfect place to experience real Aswan‘s Nubian village. There’s no other place like this. The owner Abdul warmly shares his interesting life experience, and that hits my heart really. I hope many people who wants to travel not like gorgeous cruize to stay this little paradise.

Food is super Owner and staff are very friendly Place is very clean They have a ping pong table 😁

Everyone should stay here - be part of the Nubian village, have wonderful conversations with the owner (who is also a wonderful cook), just relax AND also have it as a great starting point for any exploration of Aswan to all places.

Quiet and away from the hustle of the East Bank. Easy access to the main city on local boat 6am to 11:30pm Breakfast and Dinners were the best we have had in Egypt. Abdul and his staff are all friendly and helpful and went out of their way to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. The rooftop dining and relaxation area with views of the Nile and Tomb of the Nobles provide a great place to chill and meet other guests.

Super friendly. Free water, hot and cold drinks, fruit. Lots of info about the area. Nice view from the cosy roofterrace

Simple rooms but very clean and working. What makes this place special is the host, Abdel. He's very welcoming and organized, good cook and well-spoken in (at least English, French and Arabic). Abdel can arrange tours/drivers at reasonable prices and flexibility if the advertised trips don't suit you. All the trips he booked for us went well with good drivers/boats/cars. Breakfast and dinner (optional) are nice. Most guests have the dinner because it's good, filling and easy at the end of a long day. Good coffee (not instant) and bottled water is available all day. The West Bank of Aswan is very quiet, unlike the hectic eastern side. Enjoy the quiet rooftop with lovely views of the Nile and Tombs of the Nobles (day and night). Easy to cross the river from the public ferry (a mere 2LE); only a few minutes walk from the hotel.
