Torya (pronounced Torayya) is a great place that sits at the Nile bank, with a few accessible stone islands you can walk or swim to. The place is basic, but clean and friendly, and the owners Ayaat & Hossam are a friendly couple keen on making your stay pleasant. There were a few hiccups with the plumbing but they took care of that. The rooms are modest, with twin (narrow) spring mattresses, but the beddings are clean and you do get a good sleep after all once you put the mosquitoes to rest (Torya provides mosquito repellents). The bathroom shower situation could use an improvement, since you'll have to sweep the floor after every shower, but you can overlook that against the other merits of the stay, such as: the best foool (beans) in town, generous breakfast portions, plus Ayaat's cultural background and great voice; she's a local singer-songwriter. The place isn't at the heart of Gharb Sohail bazaar, but a walking or tuk-tuk distance from everything.
