Pet-friendly hotels and homes in Abu Simbel

Beautiful place and host - loved our stay there, the staff and everyone is so helpful and friendly. We were invited to a Nubian Party and had an amazing time - loved the music! The owners are a lovely couple, and wish we could have stayed longer!

The service is great, the owner is very friendly and we do recommend this apartment!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Wawat — it was truly the highlight of our entire trip in Egypt. The owner, Assem, was incredibly warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived. He went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. His kindness and hospitality made us feel completely at home. Assem speaks excellent English, and communication with him was always smooth and easy, both before and during our stay. He was always available, attentive, and genuinely cared about making our visit as comfortable as possible. The guest house itself is clean, quiet, and very comfortable. The air conditioning worked perfectly — which was such a relief in the summer heat — and there was strong Wi-Fi and reliable hot water. Everything was well maintained. This was by far the best place we stayed during our time in Egyp. If you’re planning to visit Abu Simbel, I 100% recommend Wawat. Assem is the best host you could hope for, and staying here truly felt like being welcomed into a home, not just a hotel.

Great host. Clean and spacious. Proximity to sites. Good wifi.

Apartment styled hotel in family-like building with cosy rooms and tremendous hospitality by the host owner Mr Mohammad & the hotel staff. Ir is near to Abu Simbel temple (10-15 minutes leisure walk) or 3 to 5 mins drive. Breakfast is served with kind homely atmosphere. The hotel is located 1.1km nearby the Abu Simbel temple entrance ticket area (15mins casual walk) and hosted by the most friendliest, honest & hospitable down to earth owner in Egypt. We booked the Economy Double Room and it was really spacious similar to a master bedroom complete with private bathroom toilet, waldrobe cupboard, table and fridge. The beds and mattresses are really comfortable and thick and the 2 pillows provided per person is equally fluffy thick and soothing for an ergonomical good night's rest. We love staying in Sama Stars Hotel in Abu Simbel and the owner also offered guests an option to enjoy a sunset boat ride for USD$15 per person in Lake Nasser to experience a kaleidoscopic boat ride overlooking the lake and the majestic stone rock mountains nearby the temple. Breakfast is also provided complimentary in the room that we booked from bookingcom and the host really served a hearty breakfast of pastries, yogurt, cheese, bread, olives, scramble eggs, cucumbers and tomatoes mediterranean egypt style. Really recommend to stay here if you are at Abu Simbel as for only USD$60+ (bookingcom rate), we had a fulfilling stay and experience and comfort in Abu Simbel while visiting the famous UNESCO Abu Simbel Temple

The studio is massive and the Owner Hany is a Gentle Giant. The studio has a kitchenette and it was just right for us. He was very kind and offered us fruits. He also helped arrange Abu Simbel sound and light show tickets.He is a very knowledgeable person and gave us very useful tips on going around. I was running short of EGP and he kindly arranged for the same. Highly recommend staying here.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. They are the most honest people I've seen here. The place is clean and spacious.

Great apartment with nice views over the lake. Perfect location (downtown, only 15min walking distance from the temple) and very comfortable. The host Yassed is a wonderful person, he accompanied us to get food from the market and allowed to cook it in his family kitchen. Brekafast is delicious as well. Super recommended!

If you’ve come all the way to Abu Simbel, think of Habib Camp as an additional must-try in your itinerary. Full-on Nubian-influenced hospitality with a stunning lakeside setting and view of Jebel Shokha. Everything feels natural and not over-wrought, with just the right balance of traditional warmth and modern comfort. The owner, Habib, is the jewel in the crown - a constant presence, yet never intrusive. He knows when to tend to your needs, and when to stay out of your way and is an utterly lovely person to boot. And the food - wow, the food needs to be experienced to be believed. Just tell Habib your preferences, and you’ll have never go hungry!
