The view from the roof is outstanding. Wanted some quiet after busy cairo amd Luxor, find it here. And if there is something better than the view, it's the host and his family. Ahmed made it easy for me to go around the city and philae temple that you can even see from the room.
Thanks very much Ahmed you made my trip to Aswan really unforgettable.

The hotel is next to the ferry to Philae temple but far away from everything else. But they provided every meal we needed. Great view of the harbor, the old dam and Philae temple.

Very bad hotel. The only advantage is that it’s very close to the Philae Temple.

There were lots of mosquitoes, and the bathroom door was broken—we couldn’t use it at all. On top of that, there’s nothing around the hotel, so you’re basically forced to eat dinner there, which was both awful and overpriced.

We stayed with Ahmed and he was so helpful in helping us at the last minute to find a driver to take us to Luxor. It was high season and last minute and yet he was able to accomplish that and help us throughout the trip even though the driver had some car trouble. He went above and beyond a service level that was among the best that I've seen in my previous 100+ countries that I've traveled to.

The hotel owner, Ahmed, is a very nice and helpful person. We ended up in Villa Misk after our reservation for a nile cruise from Aswan To Luxor was canceled the night before. So I made a last-minute reservation at Villa Misk and called them right after. Ahmed was very warm and helpful over the phone. After we got to the hotel, he greeted us and he helped us arrange a tour to Abu Simbel for the next time. Hotel itself is in an area outside the city. The initial room I had booked online did not have river view and had only a ceiling fan, we upgraded our stay to a room with river view and air conditioner for $20 additional fee per night and I think it was well worth it. The view was gorgueos. Thank you for all your help Ahmed!

From 8,000 miles away, Mr Shawky of Villa Misk foresaw and took care of all of my concerns. He took care of my transportation to and from the airport, train station, and any tours that I wanted. He saw to it that I had delicious home-cooked meals served at inconvenient hours, with plenty of drinking water! He knew that Philae and the controversy of damming the Nile were of great interest to me, and not only shared his personal insight, but arranged for a private boat tour with guide and pilot, who took me out to this phoenix of a temple, and then showed me the lake from dam to dam, to show me more of the unimaginable!
My stay was cared for by staff who made me feel at home, and let me relax after an arduous journey, while preparing for the next. Ahmed gave me a room with a panoramic view of the harbor and Philae Temple itself! He gifted me more than just a suite, he gave me memories that will last a lifetime. It took a bus, three planes, and a taxi for me to get to Villa Misk, but once there, I could have just sat by their window admiring the view and it would have been worth it, but only because Ahmed was in the background handling all of my concerns! I thank him, and all of the Villa Misk staff for their efforts. Each and every one of them went out of their way to make my stay a beautiful memory. Thank you for sharing your home with me!

Good place to stay if you are on a budget.

We arrived around midnight, and we had arranged to have them pick us up from the airport. This worked great and they provided great service.
The hotel is small and run by a family. They provided good service in getting our luggage up to our room. The furniture in the room was outdated and felt dusty. The bathroom was clean, and the bed was comfortable.
We paid extra to have breakfast the next morning. It was served family style and none of the foods appealed to me. There was no coffee or tea. The water bottles provided were not cold.
Overall, it is a good place to stay if you are on a budget and you want to see the Philae temple which is pictured on their website/

A hidden gem with views of Phllae Temple

Villa Misk is a real gem.
The views are stunning, the room comfortable and clean.
The home made food was divine and the owner Ahmed was so helpful with arranging excursions and imparting valuable advice about the cruises.

The local road to get there is unpaved - but keep the course because it is worth it !

Initially scary, but clean room, great host & view

Villa Misk scared us when we first got there. It looks very unfinished, and is a project under construction, and the road outside is a mud road, at least when we got there in Feb 2025. But the host, Ahmed, has an American accent and is very friendly and hospitable, as is his family. The room we had was spacious, with an amazing view of lake Nasser, the motorboats in the lake, and the Island of the temple of Isis. The breakfast was authentic Egyptian, but for me personally, it was passable. There is very little around the Villa itself in terms of shopping and restaurants, but the host set us up with a reasonably priced driver that made us feel less stuck. Uber does not work in Aswan, so you need a driver, or the taxis will rip you off. The host also set us up with a motorboat on the evening we arrived, and we saw lake Nasser, the Nubian island of Heissa, and the temple of Isis at night.

Very good communication with us. Young man who checked us in was friendly and good English. The hotel is on the water but not a well traveled areas yet on the boat docks. We walked on the hill to the small local store for drinks and snacks and paid 1/5 what we had in the past. $1.70 got us 4 drinks, three bags of chips and ice cream! Room was fine, TV didn’t work and they did offer us “upgrade” room for $15 to one with A/C but we were fine in late March without.

I do not know how this property got the good reviews it has as it is absolutely terrible. If you're a foreign traveler stay away from this... It is impossible to find, even the local have no idea where it is. Access is via a dirt road where I would think twice before going, if I were alone. There is NOTHING around it and one would be very ill advised to venture outside on foot. The room was pretty basic, by no means a \"VIP property\". Breakfast was cheap, $4 per person, but just as bad. It will put some calories into your stomach, but it won't be something you'd look forward to repeat.
All in all a bad experience. It does not deserve to be listed on Expedia.

Two days stay

I felt I was a guest to a local family house, not a hotel. Ahmed the owner was extremely helpful even though he was away at the time of my stay but he was just a phone call away and very responsive. With all the tips and tricks he was providing about Aswan and sightseeing, I felt the whole time as if I was a family member to him and not simply a tourist from another country. The place is located in front of lake with beautiful view from the window and very calm away from the city business. Would definitely recommend to anyone who likes a calm area and great host.

It’s a family owned place and the owner is so accommodating. All rooms have a gorgeous view of the Nile River. All rooms were clean with nice clean sheets and towels. I felt safe here and would recommend staying here to anyone. Also, they have a good menu to order off of and our meals were so good!

I difinatley recommend Villa Milk. My husband and I had a wonderful time. I only wish we could have stayed longer. Our host Ahmed is an extremely intelligent and well travelled man. He spoke English like he was born in the USA. He is well traveled and has lived in the USA for many years. Ahmed and my husband had a long conversation on Yellowstone National Park. I will remember this experience fondly for the rest of my life. Don't miss this experience. Stay at least a few days so you can explore the area, including the Nubian village nearby. There is also a good Nubian restaurant nearby. Lots of boats nearby to take a few our cruise. Thank You Mohammed and family!

It was not what I expected. The area was dangerous, dirty, and remote (nothing nearby that’s walkable). Most of the Taxis won’t go there because it’s hard to get down the dirt path. The owner is never around so his young boy and wife do all of the work (speak little English). Finding switches and working plugs for anything is a real challenge. Note, “ring the bell for service” is not anywhere but they expect you to find the bell and know this before you come.

We only had a one night stay but had a very good experience here. The view from the hotel is the best in Aswan. Ahmed speaks fluently in English and was able to arrange transportation for us as well as sort out an issue with our tour booking. We arrived extremely early for check in without warning him and he was able to accomodate us quickly. He can organize tours as well. The room was very clean and comfortable. The only downside is that there is not much at walking distance but a short taxi ride to town is easily arranged.

QUIET OASIS OUTSIDE CENTRAL ASWAN

This place is a calm, NON-SMOKING (tough to fill that criteria in Egypt) oasis far away from the chaos of central Aswan.It is a family-run operation and while it does not have the frills of an upscale hotel or a Western hotel, it makes up for it with its beautiful location overlooking Philae dock and impeccable customer service along with fast WiFi and ample hot water supply.Luckily, the rooms don’t actually face the busy tourist dock itself but overlook the Aswan Harbor.My room had a balcony and I caught some SPECTACULAR sunsets in the evening.I was hard pressed to find a decent location in Aswan without breaking the bank!The host & his son are incredibly prompt and address any concerns with no delay.The doors & gate have multiple locks and I felt safe here.You can order excellent,authentic food with the onsite chef at very affordable prices.I had awesome pizza,soup,rice all tailor-made with some minor tweaks to suit my palette.There is also a tiny kitchen in the lounge with access to hot water,tea,sugar & Nescafe.The hosts speak IMPECCABLE English and there was no problem communicating what I needed.Some reviewers have complained about the location being remote and nothing much to do/see around.That is the WHOLE POINT of this location,to unplug and give your brain & body a calm place to rest up amid a tranquil setting.If you are expecting frivolities like tons of tissue paper,many toss pillows, lots of towels to throw around,disposable cutlery,this is not the place for you.

You are in a more remote area, away from commercialism. The view overlooking the boat harbor and the Philae Temple is priceless. Ahmed, his family and staff are the epitomy of hospitality.

Small, family-run hotel on the banks of the Nile below the old dam. Located in a residential neighborhod with a view of the Philae Temple, a short boat ride away. Although no alcohol is served, you can order from a set menu that is cooked from scratch, the cook is excellent. If you are looking for peace and quiet, and not being close to a lot of tourist amenities, then this hotel is for you.

First of all, the view from the hotel is beautiful. However please beware of these differences so you won’t be disappointed:

1. The hotel is a 20-25 mins drive from downtown aswan As of Jan 2023 a 1 way taxi costs 150-200 egp. Plus the hotel is located on a small dirt road so some taxi drivers do not know its location. Although Careem (Uber equivalent) is available in Aswan, they don’t cover this area. we booked a ride with them but when the driver came to pick us up at the train station he told us that Careem doesn’t cover this area & therefore we have to pay a different price.

2. Very limited dining options around this area

3. Not much to do or see in the area beside the view.

4. The hotel has basic amenities, such as no shampoo, no tissues paper & only 2 bath towels (no hand or wash towels) The shower area is very small so when you take a shower, the whole bathroom is wet. There’s no one in the reception area so if you need something, you'll have to either call or text the owner & this may take some time. Just make sure that you ask all your questions in advance 😀

The property is located opposite the second Aswan Dam. The Philae temple can be seen from the hotel. The streets around the hotel are not paved and are a bit difficult to access. The breakfast was small but good.

No shampoo in room put same hand soap in shower, two lizards in room one owner’s son killed the other hid in the back of the painting. They showed menu in Egyptician pound & later charged in us & showed different menu in US dollar. The owner is very charismatic & big liar, the asked exact work “what you like for breakfast tomorrow “as if it’s included in the room & later charged before checking out. This is the worst place we’ve ever stayed in our lives.

Unexpected magic

We found this place on Hotels.com and it didn't start well. An obstroperous taxi driver and a closed hotel that was some way from where we were dropped off.

However, after that, it was magical. A great and intelligent host with perfect information, a night boat pick-up to go to the local restaurant across the Nile was right up there.

Moreover, transport to Abu Simbel acquired easily and, while expensive, was worth it for the convenience.

The dusk and sunset views from the room were magnificent and the bed/bed linen were of the highest quality, especially needed after the sleeper train from Cairo.

This is a special place

Ahmed & his son Joseph were incredible hosts. From start to finish they made sure we had everything we needed, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay in Aswan. Ahmed even made himself available throughout the day if we needed him for booking anything/communicating with locals.

If you’re in Aswan, this is the place to stay! I couldn’t recommend it enough.

Property was conveniently located for excellent access to Philae Temple! Private boat transfer came up, right across from the hotel. Property owner was excellent! Super helpful with anything that was required.

A well spent night in Aswan

I had the briefest of stays due to a tight travel schedule but the cleanliness of the facilities and friendliness of the staff make it very easy to recommend Villa MIsk. I arrived after the local eateries had closed and they were lovely enough to make a much needed and much enjoyed snack; I felt very well looked after.

Love it here

The Villa Misk is a great spot to stay in right next to the Philae Temple and it is right next to the Nile River. Ahmed is a great host he scheduled all of our private transportation to Abu Simbel and on top of it he scheduled all our rides to visit all the temples in Luxor and the valley of the kings and queens. He made the our trip stress free and on top it he schedule our sunrise balloon ride over the valley of the kings.

Love the view from the villa. Faces the boats and can see beautiful sunset. Quiet and very conducive place for rest and going to Philae Temple. The owner, Ahmed is very helpful, very kind and supportive, helped us to organize the trip to Abu Simble. After we left the hotel, he even helped us arranged Nile Cruise, hot air balloon rider in Luxor. I have to say without his help, my trip wouldn't be that smooth and enjoyable, I really appreciated Ahmed's help.

Staying at Villa Misk was a joy. Ahmed and his wonderful family went out of their way to make sure I had a good time in Aswan.

I was planning on taking a Nile cruise between Aswan and Luxor, but the cruise company cancelled my trip the morning before. When I told Ahmed, he basically saved my trip by helping me plan out the rest of my itinerary and booking reasonably priced alternative arrangements for me.

His family also cooked me a delicious vegetarian meal. Would love to stay again!

Clean, comfortable- great view - amazing staff!

Villa Misk is a great place to stay in Aswan. The price is very reasonable and the staff is positively amazing! The rooms are clean and comfortable with a view of the Nile. We traveled to Aswan on a family vacation. With a family of 5 we needed two rooms. The hotel ensured we had adjacent rooms. Even though we arrived after dinner hours, the staff prepared dinner for us. The staff accommodated every request or need. The owner wrote a note in Arabic to show at restaurants in order to explain one of my children has a peanut allergy! The hotel also offered late check out. The maid staff was efficient and friendly. Upon discovering one of my children was feeling ill, one maid immediately went to the kitchen and returned with soup - so considerate! We will certainly stay at Villa Misk any time we visit Aswan!

A perfect stay!

We loved this place and I will definitely stay there again next time. The view was a big Wow, the rooms were very nice with brand new A/C unit. The staff were extremely helpful. The superstar of the year is the owner Ahmed, he worked a major miracle for me and saved my vacation. If there is ANYTHING you need to see or do, he is the guy to get it done and he is extremely nice like a brother. On a scale of 1 to 10 Villa Misk gets a 100 from us.

The property has a scenic view of the old dam, the nile and the temple of philae. However bottled water and breakfast is not included and are quite expensive as additional costs considering their costs on the Egyptian market.

I can't say enough GOOD about this place

I can't say enough about Villa Misk, the owner Ahmed, his staff and children! EVERYTHING he said was right & exact. The drivers he arranged were always early & professional. Villa Misk was like staying with family that's how at home I felt.

Now about Ahmed. HE SAVED OUR EGYPT TRIP when a shoddy tour provider canceled our cruise to Aswan & basically left us STRANDED! Ahmed made miracles happen & got us out on a boat when THERE WERE NO BOATS 🙌 & then the people on the boat treated us like royalty. He has literally been heaven sent & our guardian angel while we moved across Egypt. I hold Villa Misk in the highest regard and would refer them to anyone.

Oh yeah even when arranging outings for us he got the best prices & even told me when he felt something was too much & not needed he\"s definitely who you want on your Whatsapp call list wjen in Egypt. We'll definitely be back.
