Best hotels in Aswan

An idyllic and very quick boat ride from central Aswan, Mövenpick sits on Elephantine Island with delightful vistas of the Nile and Smartie-coloured Nubian Houses. After the bustling energy of Cairo, Aswan is a laidback locale where the scent of fresh roses welcomes you each day and at the hotel, you'll enjoy tranquil river views over a bowl of homemade ice cream. Boasting the best view in Aswan, the Panorama is the highest restaurant in the city, and it's from here that you can eye out your next stop. Will it be the floral paradise on Kitchener's Island, the famous Philae Temple (or Temple of Love), or even an authentic felucca ride down the Nile?
