Everything. Front wheel beginning you feel like a guest and he is an incredibly kind host. There 2 rooms on the boat. Staying on the Nile on a quiet island with regular ferry (every 10min from 6am to midnight). Abdul is always around to help you with anything and makes your trip easy: last minute kayak booking, late arrival, early booking, felucca booking, airport pickup with kind driver, regular use of his smaller motorboat, breakfast at the time you choose. He is always on WhatsApp. You get all the convenience you want and more at the most reasonable cost you can imagine. My friend and I travelled the world for work and leisure and this is the first property I take time to review.

This hostel is located in the West bank, next to the Nile river.
Very close to the entrance of Abu Simbel highway which opens at 5am, hence I could leave slightly later compare to those who lives on the East bank (Aswan city) and Elephantine island.
<Service and Hospitality>
Greeted and welcomed by the Hostel Manager upon arrival with a welcome drink (Hibiscus juice)
Clear explanation on the hostel facilities and the accessibility (via motorboat/tuk tuk) to get around.
All hostel staffs were super friendly, kind and helpful.
<Facilities and Amenities>
Bedroom comes with air conditioner and ensuite bathroom. Both were clean, shampoo sachet is provided.
Quiet at night and well functioned water heater and water pressure.
Really enjoyed my time at the hostel cafe, overlooking the Nile river with a nice drink, Nubian music and the cool breeze.
Offering spectacular views of the Nile from the Corniche El Nil, Marhaba Palace provides a friendly and relaxed base in Aswan with spacious rooms, close to the center and bazaar.

The location is opposite the Nile river very near to the cruise ships docking area. A standard hotel for a short stay if you arrive early and need a place to stay before boarding the cruise. Very limited menu for vegetarians in the restaurant.
The stay at Abdu’s houseboat was nothing but mind blowing.
The stay at Abdu’s houseboat was nothing but mind blowing.
I stayed in the houseboat for 5 days with my mother. We both feel like we gained a friend in Abdu and hope to see him again one time. He is so kind and caring! Not only did he help us arrange everything in terms of tours (to Filae, Abu Simbel, a Nubian village, the botanical garden and more) and activities (Falluca sailing, Zaraha sand meditation, bird watching trip, exploring the Souk, swimming in the Nile, transfer to Luxor via Edfu and Kom Ombo and more), he also helped us with his second smaller boat to get everywhere, get local products for local prices, assimilate to the local culture by clothing and customs, cooked for us (he also made sure all food was well washed), helped us donate goods and clothes to the local school, and assisted us in getting tickets for the night train from Luxor to Caïro, ATM withdrawals and simcards). We truly think he has a heart of gold and works with honesty not soley for money.
His houseboat has everything you need for an authentic stay. Our cabin was spacious enough for the two of us and had an amazing view over the Elephantine Island. The terraces was facing the beautiful botanical garden on Kitchener Island. Due to the placement of the boat you have some shade in the morning and you can enjoy the sunset in the evening. If you look for a real experience and want to dive in the culture and day to day livestyle on the Nile, the boat is definitely something for you.
We are truly greatful we’ve met Abdu and can definitely recommend a stay with him on his lovely houseboat. We hope to see him again one day!
