The decor of Ana Kato is fanciful, architecturally unique, whimsical, and abounding in color and light. I have never snapped so many photos of the exterior of a hotel! We arrived around midnight and awoke to a lilting tambor serenade under a spreading Ficus tree. The staff couldn't have been more friendly. The room was dark, and could have used... More

Ana Kato is so fun! It is different from any other place we’ve stayed. It is unique, colorful and quirky. We arrived at Ana Kato during a dust storm, but were immediately welcomed by Shymaa. We had pre-booked half board and she suggested we eat dinner in our room because of all the blowing dust. The staff carried in a... More

My husband and I stayed here for a few days after Cairo and before heading onto Luxor. It was the perfect getaway from the craziness of the big cities. Anakato is one of the only places to stay in a small numbian village outside of Aswan. It is right on the river and offers beautiful views. The food is fantastic... More

This guesthouse was the highlight of all my travels in Egypt. I had seen photos of the place and planned my trip around a visit to Aswan just to stay at Ana Kato. It did not disappoint.

As we've gotten to know, Ana Kato means "My Home" in Nubian, and it is just that. You feel at home while you are there, and it is not your typical... More

My friend and I stayed at Ana Kato last weekend, the hotel is located directly by the Nile and has spectacular view, we felt that we lived at a Nubian house and the staff was very accommodating and helpful. You must try the Nubian bread there:) If you want to relax and have a great time, you must visit Ana... More

Needing a weekend of relaxation from Cairo and the hassle of politics, my Egyptian girlfriends and I picked Anakato for a destination. And a great pick to was!! Location is amazing in the middle of Nuba, view from the room was pure heaven, where you can sit and do some serious bird-watching (Nuba is an amazing site for bird lovers).... More

The rates where... More
