+We booked for Nabra but due to unexpected maintenance issues we were asked if we could move to wawat guest house. This was arranged by the manager Hamsen who looked after us beautifully. The Wawat was modern, clean and comfortable. We appreciated the excellent care.

“Good”
+The location is good, very close to the center and around 15 minutes by feet from the temple. The guy who met me was pretty nice.
−I arrived first to the guesthouse, before the other guests and I get a room without a key. Because some other guest room it with him by mistake. As a woman alone I feel very uncomfortable to leave my stuff there. The guesthouse just infront of another house so you can't open the windows cause people are passing there and you can hear any noise. The kitchen was not so clean, I didn't want to use it. The guy apologized for the key issue and gave me a 50% on the second night, which of course I don't need cause I came on my for 1 night. He should give this discount on the first night when I stayed with a room that I can't close and was worried all the night that someone will walk in.

“Good, basic accommodation in Abu Simbel”
+I only stayed one night. It's exactly as described and the pictures are accurate. The host was very helpful and polite and responsive, the internet worked well and its an easy 15-minute walk to the temple. The room was clean, there was a kettle and some tea bags in the kitchen and a few pots and pans.
−This guesthouse is quite overpriced for what it is compared with other places in Egypt and prices in Egypt generally. Given the price, towels should really be provided. However, all of Abu Simbel is overpriced and this is actually the most reasonably priced option I found. And as mentioned, everything was exactly as described and clean, so I would definitely recommend this guesthouse.

“Good location, clean and tidy, but no towels are provided.”
+The location is excellent and the Abu Simbel Temples are a brisk and easy 20 minute walk away. The room was spotless and the bathroom were clean and tidy.
−Towels are not provided, but I always carry a microfibre towel, so this was not a big issue.
