Program Details

Join a small, locally run hostel in the heart of Nubia!
Weโ€™re looking for independent, respectful, and creative volunteers to help us with:

๐ŸŽจ General cleaning of the hostel

๐ŸŒฑ Watering the plants

๐Ÿ‘‹ Welcoming guests and sharing basic info (when needed)

๐Ÿงน Organizing shared spaces

In return, youโ€™ll live in a peaceful setting away from crowds, dive into Nubian traditions, and share meals, stories, and calm vibes with our team ๐Ÿ’ฌ๐ŸŒ

You'll work about 5 hours/day, 5 days/week, with plenty of free time to explore, relax by the river, or join local outings!

Activities & Shift

Work is chill and usually done in the morning, could be right after the guests leave, or at 11:30 (check out time) until you finish your hours, currently (June to September), it's a low season, so there aren't many guests, cleaning the hostel doesn't take more than 3 hours per day. If there are more guests than expected for the deep cleaning (ceramic, walls, washing carpets, cleaning terrace, etc), we hire someone once per week.

Rules

To keep the peaceful vibe, we ask:

๐Ÿ’ฌ Respect for others & shared spaces

๐Ÿšญ No smoking, alcohol, or drugs inside (you can smoke on the terrace)

๐Ÿ”‡ Quiet hours: 10 PM โ€“ 8 AM

๐Ÿฝ Volunteers buy & cook their meals unless weโ€™re sharing a community dinner
