Artika Wadi Kiki

I have been to Aswan three times before and even to this Nubian village before and I find myself asking, HOW did we miss this hotel before? I planned to stay there with two friends, but their flight was cancelled so I ended up staying there on my own. I wish I knew about this little gem on previous trips! Forget about the fancy hotels! This is a genuine piece of Nubian HEAVEN! In typical Nubian fashion, the hotel and all communal areas are painted in beautiful, bright, happy colors. You can't help but LOVE it! The staff are out of this world and meet and greet you with a warmth that you will be hard pressed to find on a continent other than Africa! The domed ceilings in the rooms are such a part of the Nubian architectural style and there are gorgeous murals painted inside the rooms. I was blessed enough to see a Nubian wedding, while sipping wine on the banks of the Nile river. And the breakfast was humungous! In the morning, I'm glad I had enough time to shop in the village. Thank you for helping me shop! I will definitely be back! Thank you so much!

Our family of four (including two teen boys) absolutely loved our stay at Artika Wadi Kiki. The colorful Nubian-style houses and the riverside courtyard created a magical, welcoming vibe. The rooms were cozy, clean, and decorated with charming Nubian art. We arrived after 1am after a long flight, but the staff checked us in immediately and made us feel like we were at home. The rooms and beds are very comfortable, the food is amazing, you can have breakfast right on the Nile in the morning and the hotel restaurant food was next-level. In the evenings, we ate under the stars by the Nile and enjoyed a fun Nubian music night at the hotel. We felt cared for and immersed in local culture throughout our stay. The hotel was in a great location with easy river pickup for our tours. We were sad to leave and are grateful for the wonderful experience. Highly recommend Artika Wadi Kiki to anyone looking for a warm, authentic stay in Aswan!

This is a lovely Nubian guest complex located a bit off the beaten road near Aswan. Traditional mud brick houses which are brightly painted are located directly on the Nile River. There are multiple different guest cottages and a central lobby/eating area and a separate restaurant. Many of the cottages have a terrace overlooking the Nike River and we caught a boat directly behind the establishment for a cruise on the Nile. Breakfast is served in the lobby restaurant area and consists of a mix of traditional and continental cuisine. Only instant coffee is served here. The newer cottages facing the Nile River are the best and have a modern feel with good ambient lighting, sliding glass doors that open onto a terrace, modern bathroom fixtures and decent water pressure. The mattresses are firm but comfortable. The cottages are naturally cool due to the building materials and physical design. A small safe was located in the room. The WiFi signal was weak and intermittent throughout my stay which is common in the more off the beaten tracks part of Egypt. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was charming. I stayed in several hotels and lodges in Egypt and this place was my favorite. I highly recommend this establishment.

Great place , special thanks to Om Moaz for the great hospitality and great organization 👌🏻👌🏻 Food and service are Excellent … view from room was great . Procedures on check in was done in few minutes . They have airport to hotel transfer service .

We cane with a group of 20peoplr and everyone loved it and felt at home - great owners and staff so friendly and nice - we will always come back - sending love to Karim and Dudu ⭐️🙏🏼 we loved the newly renovated part and happy to book again - food was great

I spent the new year's vacation in Anakato. People are so friendly. Food is nice, yet needs some more varities. Weather is amazing. Nile view is breathtaking, you never get enough of it. Close to the airport and almost all sightseeing attractions. Rooms are clean yet no TV in the room which needs to be reconsidered. The place needs more lighting as the streets inside the hotel are neither paved nor enough lightened. Overall experience was great, and can easily be much better. Manager was so helpful and polite.
