Hotels don't come more special than this amazing place. The historic building has entertained the likes of Winston Churchill, Agatha Christie, Princess Diana at al. Accommodation is mainly in a modern building 50 metres away with spectacular views of the Nile. Staying here is expensive but the experience justifies it.
Situated on Aswan’s highest hill, Hotel Basma offers unique views over the River Nile. It features a terraced garden and pool deck. The Nubian Museum is right across the property.

Clean good quality room with a view of the Nile. Located within walking distance from the main strip (where boats could be taken to nearby islands and Nubian village). Aswan museum and unfinished obelisk were also right nearby. Personal touches by the cleaning staff were welcomed. Staff were relaxed on pool closing time which we appreciated for an early evening swim.
Located in Aswan, 19 km from Aga Khan Mausoleum, Kato Dool Wellness Resort provides accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a shared lounge.

The Hotel itself is very nice and feels like an oriental deam from 1001 nights. it is very beautifully architected and built, very colorful and has great facilities, incl. a fantastic pool. However, the best thing about the hotel is its location at the top of a hill with incredible views of the surrounding desert and the river Nile below. The views are absolutely stunning from everywhere at the property incl. all the rooms.
Featuring an outdoor swimming pool, Orchida St. George Hotel overlooks the Nile River. It is located in Corniche Street near numerous shopping and touristic destinations.
Boasting a bar, Benben by Dhara Hotels - Adults Only is set in Aswan. A hot spring bath and a car rental service are available for guests.

The stay at Abdu’s houseboat was nothing but mind blowing.
The stay at Abdu’s houseboat was nothing but mind blowing.
I stayed in the houseboat for 5 days with my mother. We both feel like we gained a friend in Abdu and hope to see him again one time. He is so kind and caring! Not only did he help us arrange everything in terms of tours (to Filae, Abu Simbel, a Nubian village, the botanical garden and more) and activities (Falluca sailing, Zaraha sand meditation, bird watching trip, exploring the Souk, swimming in the Nile, transfer to Luxor via Edfu and Kom Ombo and more), he also helped us with his second smaller boat to get everywhere, get local products for local prices, assimilate to the local culture by clothing and customs, cooked for us (he also made sure all food was well washed), helped us donate goods and clothes to the local school, and assisted us in getting tickets for the night train from Luxor to Caïro, ATM withdrawals and simcards). We truly think he has a heart of gold and works with honesty not soley for money.
His houseboat has everything you need for an authentic stay. Our cabin was spacious enough for the two of us and had an amazing view over the Elephantine Island. The terraces was facing the beautiful botanical garden on Kitchener Island. Due to the placement of the boat you have some shade in the morning and you can enjoy the sunset in the evening. If you look for a real experience and want to dive in the culture and day to day livestyle on the Nile, the boat is definitely something for you.
We are truly greatful we’ve met Abdu and can definitely recommend a stay with him on his lovely houseboat. We hope to see him again one day!
