“Stayed four nights at Krouma and it was amazing. Out of the main hustle and bustle of Aswan, which is what I wanted. The boat to take you over to the island runs until 10pm but I arrived late and also got back late one evening and Mody got me across! I found not all taxis through the indrive app wanted to come and pick me up, it's pretty off road. Getting a tuktuk back from town is probably easier. It's a short walk up to the main road where you can flag a taxi down. Or Krouma can arrange a driver (250egp from the train station when I stayed). It's about a 10 minute walk along the Nile to the ferry for Seheil Island. The island is so beautiful, being able to get up and walk into the Nile for a swim was so special. I also hired a kayak and went round the island which was fun. I went the wrong way round and couldn't make it against the current but was rescued by a boat who took me back. The oriental breakfast was delcious and the cafe is a gorgeous place to sit with a fresh juice or a turkish coffee any time of day or night. The lodge I stayed in was basic but the shower was hot and the bed was comfortable. There was no Nubian entertainment on while I was there, but I found out on the last day that there were some musicians staying. Krouma hosts art residencies and they are connected to local artists. I hope to come back and get involved with something like that.”

“优点： +房间干净整齐，有nubia风格，has private bathroom +房东非常热情，人很好，提供了很多帮助 +房间外有露台，可以边看尼罗河风景边喝茶 +离dock不远 缺点： -elephantine岛上都是石头土路和上下坡，入住roma house又要爬三层楼梯，对拿行李箱的人不太友好，适合背包客或者要在这里住好几天的人”

“Asraf is a hospitable hosts. He was seated outside of his Nile River facing house (sunrise riew) , with an English speaking friend, awaiting our arrival. Our room equipped with air-conditioning comes with bathroom attached and hot shower, and a louvre window that opens up to a scenic view of passing yachts and the Aswan Dock across the river. We had a great stay. If you want to experience Nubian village life with Nubian host, Asraft is your pick. ”
