Super relaxing stay!
Pros:

We only stayed at Nala Narty for one night but we wish we could have stayed for longer! A lovely location on a little island on the Nile near Aswan and when you're on the island it feels incredibly peaceful. Our room was spacious and very comfortable and it was lovely to be able to walk around the grounds and gardens to just relax. Highly recommend taking the free shuttle boat to the Nubian Village as well!

Cons:

Nothing, everything was great!

Une très belle parenthèse à Assouan
Pros:

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié le lieux et le design donné à cette petite île. Les endroits communs sont très charmants. Le calme de l’île était tres appréciable. Nous y avons dîner à deux reprises et la nourriture typique égyptienne était particulièrement excellente !!! Le personnel extrêmement gentil et serviable !
Nous avons pu nous baigner dans le Nile !

Cons:

Dommage qu’il n’y ait pas de rapide nettoyage prévu dans la chambre entre les nuits, au vu du prix de la nuitée cela semblerait raisonnable. La literie n’était pas la plus confortable. Nous n’avions pas anticipé autant de moustique sur l’île, pensez à prendre de l’anti moustique efficace dans vos bagages !!!

Beautifully simple, low frills and grounding. A great place to get away and re-centre.
Pros:

A lovely property with an authentic Nubian feel that’s located on an island. It was scenic and lovely to be by the water and away from the hustle and bustle.

The food at Nala Narty was divine - the organic ingredients from the farm definitely had us coming back for more.

Fashioned on a communal living premise, Nala Narty manages to create a communal sense whilst providing privacy as well.

The staff were great and really helpful.

It is what you expect and matches the description shared.

Cons:

There’s no Wifi on the property - which tracks for a low connectivity stay. Mobile data works well on the island though.

Pros:

Lovely authentic setting. Biso has great hospitality skills and discussing with him was always a pleasure. Tasty garden aubergines.

Cons:

In a way poorly managed (Biso is not the owner) and overpriced experience. Cleanliness and tidiness could be really improved. They organized a wedding which is unacceptable but we got a fair commercial geisture.

Must visits on your Egypt trip!
Pros:

Highlight of our Egypt trip! We enjoyed every minute of our stay. Safe haven, lots of activitys provided and so easy to book. Very authentic, off the beaten path. Kayaking tour was great. Visiting a fisher on his island and experience a real Nubian lunch.
The Nubian village just a 2 minute boat ride away. The whole staff felt like family.
It felt like a second home. A must visit on your Egypt trip, 100% recommend staying here

Pros:

This was such a lovely way to end my first time in Egypt. The property is so calm and has beautiful views. Bassem and all of the staff were so kind and welcoming. The breakfast was delicious as was the dinner. They gave really nice suggestions for my other stops in Egypt as well as ones in Aswan. I look forward to returning one day.
