    We liked everything.

    We loved our stay at the Eco Nubia. Not only was it itself beautiful with amazing views over the Nile and Philae temple, but the staff were friendly and professional and gave us a truly memorable stay. The food at the hotel was delicious and the outdoor dining area looks over the Philae temple. Boat transfers are easy to organize. The rooms are comfortable and the views from the balcony were gorgeous.

    The only thing because i personally don’t like lizards, they were in rooms which it was super helpful cuz we had no bugs in our room even with doors and windows open.

    Amazing location and view, the people work there are extremely polite and kind and helpful. So chill and relaxing vibes. I like the most swimming in nile with beach chairs and shower.

    Love the location, the staff and the island. The main problem was the shower, as we don’t have any water for 2 hours. But we really enjoy our stays there and would definitely recommend it !

    The arrival experience to Eco Nubia is not to be missed. Excellent place, location and staff - I have stayed 2 nights at Eco Nubia and had great breakfast and diner. You can walk on the island and enjoy the hidden Nubian villages and some more nice discoveries. Place is super calm and a place to relax and disconnect. Easy to get in and out of the island with the help of the staff. The view day and night to Philae Temple from your room is unique. Nice small private beach and awesome garden. I will do it again.

    Beautiful, peaceful, location on an island next to the philae temple complex - can see the sun setting over the temples + the evening light show. Staff were very welcoming and happy to help. Great food at the restaurant on site with very reasonable pricing. Was able to organize a trip to abu simbel through the accommodation, along with visits to other nearby places of interest. Room was very comfortable and tidy. A bit rustic and cozy in size but a pleasant temperature even on a hot day - the architecture stays naturally cool plus there are fans and windows. Nice hot showers. Able to rent a kayak to explore around the island where you can see the remnants of a temple before it was relocated. There is a sheltered waiting area for the ferry at the dock with the name of the accommodation on it.

    The Nubian-inspired decor is vibrant and authentic, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. The staff are incredibly kind and go above and beyond to ensure a memorable stay. The food is fresh, flavorful, and showcases local specialties. Waking up to breathtaking views of the river and surrounding landscape was truly magical.

    Its a no brainer to stay at this place for at least a night or two.. the location is just out of this world. Having dinner or breakfast while watching the Philae temple is something else. The employes are super nice, the rooms are clean and the food is great.

    It’s 30 minutes drive and a boat ride away from the city center. If you prefer to have the freedom to get to visit the city center easily, this is not the place for you.

    The place is right in front of Philae Island, so you get to have a clear view of the island and the temples, really breathtaking. The hotel is very beautiful, has their own organic garden and some lovely dogs. The service is top notch.

    Maybe a bit expensive, but at the same time we understand that certain privileges as the location or silence and the food were worth paying for.

    Location (isolated from the overwhelming Aswan), and the fact that you need a little boat to reach the resort. The views from the restaurant in front of Philae Temple. The delicious food. Peaceful, relaxing atmosphere. The staff very helpful and kind. Mohammed & his team were very well organized and supportive, and anything requested was easy to do through them.
