At the hostel, rooms include a wardrobe and a patio with a garden view. Featuring a private bathroom with a bidet and a hairdryer, some rooms at Kashta Nubian Guest Houst also boast a balcony. The rooms have a safety deposit box. Very nice place! The owner picked me up at the ferry stop with his private boat, which is much easier than taking my bags and walking to the place (there's no transit options but your feet on Elephantine island) Very clear room. Great shower, great wifi, great AC. Elephantine island is very lovely, quiet and peaceful. Free homemade breakfast is lovely as well. Highly recommend 👍🏻

Set within 19 km of Aga Khan Mausoleum and 4.3 km of Nubian Museum, Nubian Hights guesthouse offers rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Ash Shallāl. Among the facilities of this property are a restaurant, a shared kitchen and room service, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The hostel features city views and a terrace. The hotel is in a privileged location, with stunning views of the Nile and direct access down a set of stairs. The surroundings are peaceful and beautiful, perfect to relax. The room was excellent: spotless, cozy, and tastefully decorated. Asmaa, the owner, was incredibly kind and welcoming. She also cooks wonderfully – if you’re lucky enough to try her traditional homemade food, you’ll truly enjoy it. The breakfasts were fantastic too, and one morning she even prepared a takeaway breakfast for our excursion. I absolutely recommend this place and would love to stay here again

The location is excellent—quiet, safe, and close to everything in Abu Dhabi. It felt like a very homely place to relax after a busy day.
