Kato Waidi Nubian Resort

It's located in the heart of Nubian Village's downtown area (?) and right next to the pier, making it easily accessible from the boat. It seems like it's just barely accessible by car (depending on the day). The rooms are cute, and while not exactly hotel-like, they're well-maintained. Contrary to reviews, there was someone at the front desk both morning and night. I was worried about my early morning flight to the airport, but they provided a breakfast box, so I didn't need to worry. There was no hair dryer in the room, but I was able to borrow one. Wi-Fi is available, but it's best to assume it won't work (though I guess that's unavoidable). I had requested separate beds, but for some reason they provided a king-size bed. When I asked for separate beds, they changed them, even though they looked surprised. It must have been difficult, especially since it was on the third floor and only had stairs. I'm grateful. I also had dinner there, which was delicious. They seemed to be open until quite late. There were a lot of flies, even though it was October, so there may be even more in the summer. The bath has plenty of hot water, but since it is a water heater that uses stored water, if two people are using it, it is better for the first person to use it sparingly or for the second person to use it after a while. The water heater has a gauge indicating the amount of hot water remaining. There is no shower curtain, but the bathroom is spacious, so as long as you are careful, the toilet should not flood. Everyone was kind, and I enjoyed the unique village atmosphere.

I heard that the more prosperous part of Aswan is the east bank of the Nile, but this is a small hotel in a Nubian village on the west bank of the Nile. If you have a chartered car, you can stay in the village to experience the Nubian culture (there is a section of road under construction into the village, it is not easy to walk and it is very dark at night). You can see the sunrise over the Nile when you go out in the morning. It is very quiet and the small village is also very beautiful. The service is particularly good. The breakfast (some bread, yogurt and boxed juice) will be packed for the morning meeting. There is an independent bathroom, but the light is dim, so I lowered my expectations. It is normal and good conditions in Egypt. At least it is clean, the bath water is hot, and it is not a problem to sleep in clothes for a night.
