Our
Hotels in Aswan
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.

SOFITEL
OLD CATARACT ASWAN
If there is a single place that
capture the romance of Egypt’s entry on the scene of
world tourism is it the Old Cataract. Overlooking the
Nile, and having, according to the readers of “Conde
Nast Traveler Magazine” the best views of any hotel in
Africa, it is directly across from legendary Elephantine
Island and the Nile’s first cataract. Victorian
architecture combines elegantly with interior decor
inspired by the Orient. This unique hotel inspired the
Agatha Christie novel, “Death on the Nile” and was where
Howard Carter compiled many of his notes on his
discovery of King Tut’s tomb. The1902 Restaurant offers
a gourmet menu while the Darna Restaurant specializes in
Eastern cuisine. There are four bars, one features a
view of the Nile and is well known for its terrace which
is the ideal spot for evening sundowners. Heated pool
and tennis court.
Rooms are grand, spacious and
decorated in Belle Epoch style and include a/c, mini
bar, telephone with voice mail, satellite and cable TV,
make up mirror and 24-hour room service. Services at
the hotel include concierge, cash machine, dry
cleaning/laundry/ironing, safe deposit at reception,
24-hour security and currency exchange office. There is
an outdoor heated pool, tennis, billiards & snooker
tables and a discotheque/night club. But mostly guests
come to soak up the intimate élan of elegance and
comfortable luxury.
