In Egypt there are many hotel choices at the 5 star
level...we particularly like these below for their comparable services, overall
quality and value received. We will do our best to book whichever you
prefer...or if you have another 5 star hotel preference we will be pleased to
custom quote that hotel for you.
Generally,
we use these hotels depending on which has the best location for
the logistics for your tour and, in the case of the Nile river
boats, which is sailing on the day you need. If you have any
particular requests, however, please let us know when booking and
we will do our best to confirm that for you.

MOVENPICK ELEPHANTINE ISLAND
The
Movenpick Elephantine
Island (beautifully renovated in 2008) is situated on
its own island in the Nile and a 5-minute boat ride by
hotel ferries to the centre of Aswan. It's a
photographer's and bird watcher's delight, and the sight
of the mighty river making its way through the large
granite outcrops at this First Cataract is one that will
stay with you always. The hotel's very spacious rooms
all offer spectacular Nile views and all have A/C,
direct-dial phone, internet access, satellite TV,
mini-bar, in room safe, and hair dryer as their basic
amenities, along with warm, stylish furnishings
reflecting the gold for which Ancient Nubia was prized
in the time of the pharaohs.
Dining at a Movenpick hotel
or resort is always a wonderful experience, and the main
restaurant, L'Orangerie features an open show kitchen
where you can watch the chefs perform. Also unique is
the Panorama Bar on top of the 14th floor Tower with a
360 degree view of the Nile and Aswan.
With
impeccable service and its welcoming atmosphere, the
Movenpick Elephantine Island is a gracious and
comfortable location from which to enjoy Aswan, Egypt's
most beautiful city.
Be a Pharaoh
(or at least come closer to what it must have felt
like...)!
Upgrade your hotel rooms...for views
any Pharaoh would envy!
Your
Movenpick Elephantine
Island room is acclaimed
by leading travel publications as
having the very best view of the
river in its entire 4200 mile
length…directly facing the river
from the private balcony or terrace.
