Nubian Kindom Aragheed House

Hospitality was second to none, incredibly friendly, great people and a brilliant place and hang out spot Local freshly made Nubian coffee and traditional Nubian music Great tea and food Highly recommend!

I stayed with a group in Egypt for 2 weeks & spent 10 of those days in Aragheed Nubian Guest House with Bassam & his family. It was the highlight of the entire trip. They make you feel like a part of their family. Such a beautiful home with picture perfect scenery. We could see the Noble’s Tombs & the Nile from the top floor. Breakfast & dinner were always delicious. Bassam has connections for everything we needed. Every night was filled with beautiful music being played live, delicious Nubian style coffee made fresh & many other pleasures. Egypt was wonderful, but it is Bassam at the Aragheed house in the Nubian Kingdom that l will be going back to visit for.

I had the opportunity to come with my group to this safe haven and we all were so happy we did. The place with it’s beautiful decor, zen feel, music and love was hard to leave. Some of the members even extended their trip and stayed longer. The vibe, food and overall stay was more than we can ask for. Thanking Bassam and all the staff that made this stay beautiful and so welcoming a home away from home. We loved it! Recommend 100%.

My friend and I (two girls) had the best experience at the guest house, when we left we honestly felt sad that we would leave captain Bassaam and the rest of the staff. Everyone was friendly and very helpful. We very taken care of very well and entertained every night. From the amazing Nubian coffee with dates, the fresh juice and great food to the musical jam sessions at night in the tent, everything was just perfect. We felt so much at home, we wished we could have stayed longer. I will definitely come back.

It was an amazing local experience for us. We felt like at home. We really enjoyed our time there. The foods were fantastic. Mohammed is a wonderful host. Thanks for the amazing hospitality. We will definitely come back soon. Highly recommended

Everything about my 3 nights and 2 days at the Nubian Kingdom Aragheed experience was absolutely fabulous! The Aragheed house is a family home and the three men who meet and greet each visitor, went out of their way to make sure I felt welcomed and like a valued family member. Thank you Basam, Imad, & Mohamed for your kindness. Nubian people are very very warm & wonderful! It was 40 degrees Celsius when I arrived at 9pm, and Imad greeted me with a warm smile and cold fruit juices. Everything about my 3 nights and 2 days at the Nubian Kingdom Aragheed experience was absolutely fabulous! The Aragheed house is a family home and the three men who meet and greet each visitor, went out of their way to make sure I felt welcomed and helped me laugh, learn and practice my terribly weak Arabic. . Thank you Basam, Imad, & Mohamed. It was 40 degrees Celsius when I arrived at 9pm, and Imad greeted me with a warm smile and fresh & cold fruit juices. I had at my ready at all times the kitchen & kettle to make Egyptian Tea (with garden fresh mint) and Nubian coffee. Breakfast is included and the choice of hot and cold food were plentiful and presentation was very typical for a Nubian family. The first morning while making plans to cruise down the Nile with The Aragheed men, myself & the 2 other guest confirmed having dinner at the house. The afternoon on the Nile was wonderful, and we came home to the most delicious dinner made by Basam’s sister in law (3 different types of fish, salad, rice, dips, and dessert)! The rooms are large, clean, & air conditioned. The bathroom down the hall is just like the bathroom from your bedroom in your apar**ent (3 bedrooms in this (apar**ent). I loved having access to the kitchen, Egytian team ( with fresh mint from the garden) & Nubian coffee were offered and available all day and night. Breakfast is free/included and the choice of hot and cold food was plentiful. The presentation was professional and traditionally Nubian.. The bedrooms are large, clean, & air conditioned. The beds are on a frame on the floor and very very comfortable. The bathroom down the hall is just like the bathroom from your bedroom in your apar**ent (3 bedrooms in this (apar**ent). I shared it with 2 other girls and because there were bathrooms on every floor it was never a problem. The owner Basam has his degree in Egyptology and is very open minded and compassionate when discussing the differences in global cultures. Imad never stops cleaning, cooking and simply checking in on you. Mohammed plays a mean game of Dominoes! As a solo female traveller, Basam, Mohammed and Imad made me feel relaxed and empowered. They asked all the time what I wanted, needed or how could they help me experience Egypt. Not only is the Nubian Kingdom Aragheed House priced very reasonablely, it was easy to tip these 3 men because staying here I only paid for day tors and dinner. -no “extra costs” were added-. I highly recommend the Nubia

Staying here was definitely the highlight of our trip to Egypt. Bassam made us feel welcome and at home from the very first minute. We were immediately welcomed with delicious Nubian food and shared an incredible coffee ceremony with Bassam and his friends. After this it felt like we were staying with friends we'd known for years. Bassam was also an excellent tour guide and showed us some beautiful spots in the local area. This is a place that really has to be experienced and I can't recommend it enough!

Unforgettable experience in the heart of the Nubian Kingdom. Everything went beyond perfect in terms of the location, facilities, food, etc. On top of that, the guys working there are going to make your trip even more joyful and pleasant as they introduce you to their culture through conversations, walks and board games. Totally recommend staying here!

Liked · This really is a home from home . I loved every minute of my stay . Bassam, Emad, Achmad, Karim are the most beautiful kind people I have ever met. Bassam opens not only his home but his heart up to all his guests . this is the place to stay if you want to experience true African hospitality . I can’t fault a thing . the only problem I have is that I could not stay longer. I originally booked for 4 nights and extended that by an extra 5 nights. great location from the ferry from Aswan. Guests coming from Aswan train station walk towards the Nile and you will see the ferry spot , it’s a colourful sign hard to miss it. when you get off the ferry Nubian kingdom is only a short 2 minute walk from the ferry . Basssm will organise any trips and tours you like , I highly recommend going Kayaking or sand boarding with him. but also transport to Abu Simbel etc is no issue to organise. the food is amazing , the people are amazing , book it and enjoy the experience . you won’t find it anywhere else in the world . an amazing place . thank you to everyone in Nubian Kingdom Aragheed House who made me feel like family .
