Old Cataract

Aswan

131 Rooms

From $130 per person/night

A famous and uber-charming hotel with a top-tier address on the banks of the River Nile.

Located just where the sands of the Nubian Desert meet the shoreline meet a particularly sparkling, pretty stretch of the River Nile, the Old Cataract has been welcoming guests for over a century. Some of those visitors included Princess Diana and Agatha Christie, who was inspired to write a portion of Death on the Nile here! A makeover saw its selection of rooms cut in half, while increasing to an ample size, making it only more luxurious, although it hasn't lost an ounce of old-world glamour. From the alabaster and gold columns in the lobby to the ruby red chandeliers casting a romantic light, this is a hotel that has earned its place amongst Egypt's finest.

Mövenpick Resort Aswan

Aswan

404 Rooms

From $90 per person/night

Seated on the island home of the god of the Cataracts, the hotel is surrounded by history.

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?
