"Pros: I tend to be a tad cynical with reviews that say "I felt like part of the family" but I can say in all honesty that this is how I felt staying here. Khalids boat trip was absolutely wonderful, a taste of the quieter side of the nile, beautiful, relaxing, lots of birds, drifting past reed-fringed islands, watching kingfishers. I'd recommend staying here for so many reasons. You won't go hungry, trust me. The delicious breakfast will set you up for the day (with enough falafel to make a packed lunch) The family are lovely, the accommodation is spacious, fully furnished and homely, and you have the whole second floor to yourself, front room, bathroom, bedroom, kitchen (kettle, fridge, pans, stove, kitchen stuff) and can come and go as you please - it feels inclusive yet private. We had wondered about staying on Elephantine island as we weren't sure about the ferries but they work really well, regular (every 10 to 15 minutes during the day until midnight, (every half an hour during the night) and cost 10 egyptian pounds p/p per crossing, and they're a fun mode of transport. Adad Nubian House is a minute or two walk from the ferry stop, so handy. The island has local restaurants that serve good food, and it has shops we used for drinks and snacks. It's peaceful whereas the mainland is touristy and busy. We were very happy with our choice of accommodation, we have good memories and will stay here again when we return to Aswan." ~Tracy
