    The bedroom, the common room, the kitchen. The service. The ac was quiet. Breakfast was good. Overall 9.5 Assem took his time to show and tell us about Abu Simbel, and suggested which restaurant to visit.

    こちらのゲストハウスに来る前に、カイロ空港でロストバゲージとなりました。 カタコトの単語英語しか話せないので、代わりに問い合わせの電話を何度もして頂きました。 アブシンベル神殿に夜と昼間に行く時も車の手配をしたり、送迎してくださったりと大変お世話になり安心して過ごすことができ感謝しています。 有難うございました。

**Hi there, I’m Asim, the owner of Weawat Guesthouse.** I’ve been working in the tourism industry since 2000, and I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with some big names in travel, like Thomas Cook and American Express. I was born and raised in this beautiful city, and from a young age, I dreamed of creating a small hotel or guesthouse that was a little different—one that blended the charm of the past with a unique, fresh twist. Over the years, through working closely with travelers, I gathered all kinds of ideas and experiences that helped shape what Weawat is today. It’s a place crafted with love and care, designed to offer an unforgettable experience that appeals to travelers' hearts and desires. I truly hope that when you stay with us, you feel the warmth, the history, and the modern touches that make Weawat special. Looking forward to welcoming you and making your stay memorable! Thanks for choosing Weawat, and we can’t wait to have you here with us
