Pet-friendly hotels and homes in Abu Simbel

(From Switzerland, not Greenland as noted!) I can highly recommend Eskaleh Eco-Lodge for a stay in Abu Simbel. It occupies a quiet location on the edge of the small town with direct access to the lake and boats that you can take to the temples, though it's also within walking distance of them. "Far from the madding crowd", the buildings are in the beautiful traditional Nubian style, the welcome is friendly, the service very good and always with a smile, the food is delicious (especially the fish!), the rooms were perfectly comfortable and clean. Fikry & Shady and their staff will make sure you are well looked-after and wanting for nothing. Airport pick-up/drop-off, taxis and guides to the temples can all be easily and swiftly arranged. An experience to be repeated!

The host was amazing and very friendly, the place was super clean with all necessary amenities. The breakfast was also very good. The owner also offered us a free ride to the Abu Simbel temple though it's just 15 mins walking distance.

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.

Yahya was the perfect host, he did his best to make our stay very comfortable. For the price and the place the property far exceeded our expectations. I'm glad we booked this place.

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

A very friendly and friendly host. For some reason, it seems that many Japanese people are staying, and there are some souvenirs from Japan that can be seen as souvenirs from Japan. I couldn't go to the Absinbel night light-up show, so I watched the footage that he recorded in advance and taught me a lot about the temple knowledge. It would have been better if there was a trash can in the room.

Friendly, warm and kind manager, Mr Shaban and staff, Abdul n chef (cant remember his name) were all helpful and sweet. Mr Shaban shared with us his books on Abu Simbel Temples and arranged a boat cruise n the Sounds n Light shows too. He was kind to let us have our breakfast after we ended our tour to Abu Simbel after 10am. Chef was so kind to wait and provided our warm breakfast. Abdul was also so sweet to share baked sweet potatoes the night after our dinner! The property location is also excellent as it has a nice garden, Lake Nasser View n 10-15 mins walk to Abu Simbel temples. Very convenient.

New Apartment, good locatiin, host so nice! Shukram
