If you want to see another side of Egypt on your trip, spend some time in the Nubian area near Aswan to experience a different culture. The Kato Waidi Nubian guest house is rustic, colorful, and full of friendly staff and great food.

I stayed there for 6 nights with my dog. We liked the service in everyway, evereyone always took care of us. The employees are very relaxed and helpful. They also help to make tour accommodations and whatever you need really. The only thing I would change is the loud knocking doors for tours in the am, they woke me up 3 nights and was tired all day from it.

I loved everything about Kato Waidi Nubian House. It is in the heart of a Souk, as well as having access to boats to take along the Nile for various outings and sites. The hotel restaurant is outdoors and is also located on the bank of the Nile, which changes with the hour in its beauty and stillness. The food here is fantastic and very reasonably priced. The hotel is beautiful and the room and bed were comfortable and clean, colorful. The whole area is colorful and the Nubian people are laid back, kind and proud of their heritage. It was a great, great pleasure to stay here, and I will come back. I want to particularly thank Ahmed, the day manager, for his excellent listening skills, and his thoughtful responses to my questions and my desires. He arranged several outings for me, by boat and by car, as is his job, and catered the tours to my uniqueness which I am very thankful for. If you come you should consult with him and he will listen closely and appreciate you, and guide you in the right directions as well as giving you many options to choose from. He is very hospitable and a great representative of the hotel and of the people here in Aswan. I have nothing negative to say. The place was like heaven to me. Thank you Ahmed!

Très bonne place avec vue sur le Nil, chambre propre, personnel aux petits soins. Restaurant sur place, très bon et très accessible. L’hôtel offre des services de taxi pour venir vous chercher à l’aéroport, visiter Philae ainsi qu’un bateau pour aller à Assouan et se baigner dans le Nil (très belle expérience!) Ne pas hésiter à négocier les prix des excursions 😉

Nice hotel to stay in Nubia village which is a must-visit place when you come to Aswan. The only difficult thing was, the only way to get to the hotel is by car or by expensive boat.

The Nubian Village was fun, but neither of us were keen on shopping. But the hotel itself was very nice and a different experience for us. The food was wonderful and the staff very helpful and very friendly.

This is a super unique and fun property! We would definitely recommend anyone staying in/around Aswan to stay here! It’s a bit out of the way, but that makes it off the beaten path. Big cars can’t get back to it so we did need to walk a little ways to get there, but it is worth it! The rooms are beautifully painted, with a cool-looking brick dome ceiling and a cute balcony that overlooks the Nile. The restaurant has AMAZING food. We would recommend you eat more than just breakfast here. All the staff are so nice. The one downside is the wifi isn’t super strong in the rooms - it kept cutting in & out, but it does work well in the restaurant area. The manager is also very kind and helped us book a private driver to Abu Simbel. We loved our stay and would definitely recommend you stay at this place!

HAPPIEST HOTEL ON THE NILE!
Kato Waidi House is a boutique place and the dhappiest hotel on the NIle. This house is smack dab in the middle of the action. It is literally on the nile and a man named Fufu takes you everywhere in his boat...very cool. The outdoor dining is not only delicious, beautiful and food is love here! One night a group of local musicians came and everyone danced....The rooms are happy, colorful, so clean its crazy, comfortable, super good AC, and the best mulit task bathroom ever (one room shower, sink, W/C all in one. Love that. OK, the best thing is the hotel is located in a Nubian village and how cool is that...fun shopping, lots of good loot. I give this place : 100%, A++++

Peaceful stay in Nubian village
Nestled in the colourful Nubian village just beside the Nile, Kato Waidi is truly a place of ultimate calm and peace. Our room was spacious, east facing and offered superb view of the river. The manager and most other staff speak good English and helped us with boat tour and transfer to train station. The breakfast was super tasty, fresh and came with big portion size. They even packed us breakfast boxes for our early morning tour to Abu Simbel. Wifi signal was also fair throughout the property. We recommend strongly.

Die Unterkunft liegt in einem Nubischen Dorf direkt am Nil. Das Zimmer war sehr sauber und ordentlich und alle unsere Wünsche wurden erfüllt. Die Dusche ist direkt im Bad integriert, heißt man duscht sich quasi über der Toilette, keine Kritik nur man sollte darauf vorbereitet sein. Das Hotel Personal ist sehr sehr freundlich und höflich. Das Essen im Hotel war unser Highlight, es gibt eine Vielzahl an Gerichten, die uns alle super geschmeckt haben.

C’est étonnant et reposant. Par contre l’arrivée en taxi peu surprendre car on se croirait dans l’Afrique profonde, c’est un chemin, c’est sale et plutôt en ruine. Je recommande d’arriver plutôt en bateau si peu de bagages. Le personnel est accueillant et on y mange très bien pour un prix très raisonnable. Je recommande.
