Kabara Nubian House

We had been to the temple complex so after a busy morning sight seeing this was a welcome place to stop for lunch before returning to Aswan. It is clearly a hotel as well which looked like a good place to stay and if the restaurant / service is nothing to go by may be worth a stay. We enjoyed Egyptian tagine for lunch which was well presented, hot (not everything we got on Egypt was) and tasty. Service was friendly and helpful. A good hearty local cuisine meal.

This is a friendly no nonsense guest house with clean rooms, good showers and straightforward food. The highlight is probably the Nubian decoration, which really adds a a lot of colourful joy to a visit. It’s also a short ride from the main Abu Simbel temples.

During our trip trough Egypt we decide to stay in Abu Simbel for 1 night in order to divide to bus round trip through the dessert of 3.5 hrs each way and this worked out wonderfully, we saw the temples almost alone and we could watch a perfect sound and light show. The Kabarra Nubian House in which we stayed is a traditional Nubian Hotel, complete with colorfull Nubian decorations and Nubian style accomodations. The room is certainly big enough and the bathroom is provided with all you could ask for in a simpel fashion. The food is really good and the breakfast on the outside terras is a treat, especially if you like birds, there are very many different species to be seen including a very beautifull Smyrna Kingfisher. If you are planning to stay in Abu Simbel we reccommend you to stay in this typical Nubian Lodge.

Superb food and all the facilities of a guest house. Friendly staff plus the bright colours of Nubian culture. It is a real gift to Abu Simbel which does not have that many places which are a big draw. It is newly done up and a great pleasure to visit.

Kabara (Kapara) Nubian house is one of the best restaurant we have eaten at!!!!!!!! Well appointed in traditional Nubian way. Bran flat bread is to die for. Eggplant was out of this world. Beans were cooked to perfection served in a clay pot. Mixed vegetables were literally finger licking good. Friendly staff. Super clean. I am lost for words in describing this amazing place which is a stone throw away from the temple of Abu Simbel.
