Step into the legendary site where King Fouad once entertained and Agatha Christie sipped cocktails: the 5-star Sofitel Legend Old Cataract Aswan Hotel. In the Nubian Desert on the banks of the Nile, opposite Elephantine Island, the majestic hotel sits on a pink granite cliff overlooking the world's longest river. This ravishing hotel with its legendary guest list of royals and dignitaries is both ideal for romantic getaways, and a perfect venue for small summits and corporate meetings.

One of the most famous hotels in Aswan and even Egypt, it was once a hotel for royals, politicians, and celebrities. If the budget is OK, don't hesitate, it will be a very unique and beautiful experience.
The shower in the bathroom is really useless. The bathtub is large and suitable for bathing, but there is no shower curtain. After showering, the floor is full of splashed water.
The hotel has a guided tour of the suites where Agatha and Churchill once stayed at 4 pm, which lasts about half an hour. Guests staying in the hotel can participate for free. Check with the front desk in advance whether there is a tour on the day.

We arrived quite late at night. This is by the Nile River. The price is a bit expensive. The room felt like a domestic guesthouse, but because it was the peak season and there were two people in each room, an extra 10 US dollars was added, which felt a bit of a rip-off. The scenery diluted everything.

Pros: Nice for taking photos. Right by the Nile River, the breakfast is very nice, the owner is very friendly and helpful
Cons: The location is remote, the entrance is all gravel and dirt road, the road condition is very bad, many taxi drivers can't find this place, and the hot water is very small, I forgot to take photos

It’s one of if not the best hotel in Aswan, situated in an exclusive island with an amazing view of the Nile and Nubian village. The staff was super comforting and lovely. There’s a shuttle boat that runs 24 hours to the main center of Aswan. I had an incredible time here. <3

The price of a four-star hotel is not cheap in Aswan, but the location is OK. The Nile River is less than 1 km away, so it is convenient for eating and traveling. It is less than 500 meters away from the Old Falls Hotel. It is just a two-step walk away. It is convenient to visit. The outdoor scenery is OK. But it is definitely not as good as the Old Falls.
The Nubian Museum is right outside the door, and there are many Nubian women selling small items at stalls next to it, with very favorable prices. Be careful of the coachman, who will steal things by taking advantage of the children! The breakfast variety is obviously worse than that of the Cairo Hotel, but it is still acceptable!

The hotel is on the hill, the environment is very beautiful, there is a small pool, the restaurant and the big pool are under the mountain. You can enjoy the beautiful view of the Nile in the room, which is really beautiful. The waiters are hospitable and attentive. They have unfinished snacks and fruits every day. Knowing that we have no time to eat breakfast, we specially prepared two large bags of breakfast for us to eat on the road. It was so intimate. The room was clean and tidy, the facilities were very new, the waiter would fold a small snake for us every day, stayed for three days, it was different, thank you very much! I like this hotel very much.

Located in the middle of a Nubian village, this hotel is very different to the polished world of resorts and cruise ships that most tourists will see when they come to Aswan. There is a market in the area where you can buy spices, teas, and jewelry. The aesthetic and vibe of the place is bright and colorful, the people are super friendly and there are a lot of camels. Nubian Palace is not just a hotel, but also a coffee shop and restaurant. The food is AMAZING! They even packed us a breakfast box for our early morning flight.

The breakfast was too perfunctory. Although it is a new hotel in Aswan, don't have too high expectations. There is no parking lot in the hotel, and it was scratched when I parked on the roadside.

This is a very contradictory B&B hotel that I don't know if it is worth recommending. Its shortcomings and advantages are very prominent. It is suitable for Internet celebrities to make photos (the following photos are all original photos without retouching), but it is not suitable for anyone who has certain requirements for ”accommodation” itself. If you can find any cheap + clean + similar scenery alternative hotel, it is recommended to change it, but if it is just for taking pictures and scenery, it may be ranked at the top in Nubian Village.
First of all, you have to be able to tolerate:
1. The hotel price is not cost-effective in the peak season, and the B&B offers the price of a five-star hotel.
2. Poor room facilities, rough-style furniture and narrow rooms, worrying bed sheets, bathroom shower water overflowing and drainage is useless, no slippers, toothbrushes, hair dryers (phone front desk can provide).
3. The breakfast is self-service and extremely simple and unpalatable, unlike some people who commented on the set and inexplicably praised it.
4. Tolerate or pay more to continue to tolerate the complaints of the chartered driver to drive into Nubian Village, and then contact the hotel by yourself in the middle of the night to change to a three-wheeled motorcycle in the deserted and dark mountains for 15 minutes to doubt life and reach the mountaintop hotel.
5. Other prices are very unreasonable. We originally wanted to book dinner for the New Year's Eve party, but it cost 100 US dollars per person...
What did we get here?
1. The balcony of the room can see the unbeatable sunrise on the west bank of the Nile. We witnessed the first light of 2025 here at 6 am.
2. The various poses in the cultural buildings of the Nubian Village are very photogenic.
3. The desert next to the hotel is very photogenic.
4. A very special cultural experience of a group of tourists jumping up and down the mountain in a row of three-wheeled vehicles.
5. The hotel service staff is relatively friendly. Finally, it is explained that Egypt is not a country where tipping is allowed. Carrying luggage is a basic service of any hotel in their country. No one asked for tips during the entire stay.

いいもたろうLocation of the hotel: Cross the island from the boat dock near KFC on the riverside main street, Corniche (EGP 10 per person, EGP 60 per person at night), go up the stairs and the blue door on the right is the entrance. The owner is not usually at the hotel, so be sure to let him know your arrival time in advance.
Facilities: Air conditioner, hair dryer, shampoo, body soap, shared refrigerator, shared kettle, washing machine (USD 4 per use)
It's a bit of a hassle to cross the river, but it's perfect for those who want to stay quietly away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The owner treated us to mango juice from his mango field. It was very rich and delicious. He also gave us a handmade necklace made by his daughter. We stayed for three days, but the room was not cleaned, and towels were replaced by contacting them every time. The neighbors were friendly and called out to us. A Nubian girl told us, ”I like Japanese anime.”
GGuest UserExcept for the unstable hot water, hot and cold, and very few breakfast varieties, everything else is nice and the scenery is unparalleled. The food in the hotel's restaurant is good. You can only pay in US dollars. There is Nubian musical instruments playing in the evening. There is no wine for sale in the hotel. Passengers who drink alcohol need to buy it outside
HHiromuI was surprised that there are such kind people.
All the staff at this hotel are kind.
To be honest, I was very sad because I caught a bad taxi on the way to the hotel.
However, the hotel staff saw me and encouraged me, and provided the best service.
They told me a lot about Nubian Village, which made me very happy. It's a shame that I didn't take many photos of the hotel.
I will never forget this hotel.
FFeliciayangThe scenery of the hotel is very good, the Nile River can be seen from the restaurant, and the breakfast is not bad. The room facilities are relatively simple, similar to those of old domestic 3-star hotels. The bedsheets are a bit lacking in hygiene. Bring your own bedsheets. There are no USB charging ports, slippers, etc. The hotel is in an upper location, 20 minutes away from KFC, and there are few restaurants nearby. My friend who was traveling with me booked a room at Qunar. When I checked in, I was told that there was no reservation, so I almost didn't get it. Ctrip is relatively reliable.
GGuest UserService: Friendly, the hotel front desk is pretty good
Environment: OK, you can see the Nile River
Sanitation: No dead corners found
Facilities: OK
Overall, the house is quite big, and the value for money is quite high for the price
GGuest UserWhat you see is what you get, very cute place. The whole village is super cute in dopamine style!  Breakfast is delicious, you can eat on the balcony and the scenery is particularly good, directly see the Nile!  The sister of the homestay also took me to touch the little crocodile for free! Super experience! This small village is especially suitable for hanging out and relaxing for a leisurely day!
MmsscullyThe door is the largest Souk in Aswan. It is very convenient to buy some snacks and water and coffee. Of course, you have to bargain. Hotel room facilities and hygiene are the level of the guest house, but the service is really good! There is a girl who can speak Chinese at the front desk, which is really cute! Very very friendly to the Chinese! Introduce us to delicious restaurants, and remind us to get up early to Abu Simbel to catch up with the hotel breakfast, the hotel can pack breakfast! The hotel is very close to the Nile River and it takes 10 minutes to walk. If you are in a good mood, you can sneak to KFC. Some local restaurants along the river can also try it. This season, the riverside wind is strong, a bit cold ~ Aswan hotels, basically two extremes, the price is OK here. But the hotel will have a power outage for an hour every day, I don't know why, and there are a lot of mosquitoes! The baby was bitten very poor... If you want to come, take precautions ~
GGuest UserThe most important thing in this hotel is not food, though it is perfect, and not even a stunning view from the windows - sincere location and readiness of Ahmed Shauki - the manager and host of the hotel, to help its guests in everything - that 's what makes Villa Misk the best!
ZZhilvdeshenquThere aren't many hotels in this remote place like Aswan, so don't ask too much. Those who have been to Egypt know the situation of hotels, so there's no need to say more. This hotel doesn't provide water, so you may need to prepare it in advance. The balcony can see the Nile River, with a road in the middle. The guy at the front desk was very enthusiastic. I asked about taking the bus to Abu Simbel. I didn't have time to eat breakfast because I had to catch the bus. In fact, judging from the results, it was edible. It was very fast to take a taxi from the hotel to the bus station, and the bus was also slow and started half an hour late. Going there early was mainly to buy tickets in advance to avoid the tickets being sold out due to the large crowds, although it was unlikely.
GGuest UserThe room I booked has a view of the Nile River. The location is also better. The room is big enough. The shower head leaks a little. Everything else is fine. However, I recommend you to book on-site at the hotel front desk. The price will be much cheaper than booking online. Based on my order For example, it will be 1/3 cheaper.
