Quiet, beautiful, peaceful. The hand-painted rooms are even prettier than the photos online.

Read what guests have written.
A real Nubian guest house — not a chain hotel pretending to be one. Worth every minute of the journey.
The cooking class with Mama was the highlight of our entire Egypt trip. We still cook her foul recipe at home.
We booked two nights and ended up staying five. Don't make our mistake — book five from the start.
Wake up to the river, eat breakfast on the rooftop, fall asleep to the call to prayer. Heissa Artie makes you slow down in the best way.
The most special place I stayed in Egypt. The staff treats you like family from the moment you step off the boat.
