Sharty Hotel

The room was very clean, the facilities were new, the owner is very talented—his piano playing and singing are superb, the breakfast was plentiful, and the hospitality was exceptional. The hotel is located in a very quiet area, right next to a small river, and a ten-minute walk from the temple. Upon check-out, the owner even gave us a brand-new one-pound banknote with the temple on the back, a very meaningful souvenir. It's clear they put a lot of thought into running the hotel. Highly recommended!

A very comfortable and convenient hotel, and the host was incredibly welcoming! The host comes from a musical family and even played instruments for us. The room was clean, refreshing, and smelled wonderful. The breakfast was very plentiful. The host, an elderly gentleman, and his son even helped us book tickets for the light show and kept track of our bus schedule back to Aswan. They were very patient and answered all our questions. The hotel's rooftop offers sunset views, and it's a 20-minute walk to the temple entrance and a 13-minute walk to the bus station – very convenient.

I highly recommend this guesthouse! It's very close to the temples, within walking distance. The owner is a native Nubian, incredibly kind and simple. Upon arrival, they welcomed us with fruit and juice, and when we left, they gave us two bottles of water and drinks for our journey. There are free drinks and beverages in the refrigerator, and a kitchen where you can cook. The breakfast is very plentiful, and they even play and sing Nubian folk songs – so much fun! I also recommend the sunrise or sunset boat tour to see the Abu Simbel temples, offering different perspectives. The owner's prices are cheaper than other online listings.
