The El Mesala is a small family owned hotel situated around 5 minutes walk from the local ferry, It’s a fairly new hotel opening around 2010. Owners and staff are very keen to create a welcoming, friendly and family type atmosphere.

I traveled through Egypt for 5 weeks staying only 2 or 3 nights at any given location. Hotel El Mesala was far above and beyond my favorite... enough to push me to stay 6 nights. The staff were hands down some of the most personable, helpful, pleasant and just generally friendly people I have met on my travels all over... More
