Hotels in Aswan, Egypt


Aswan is a city in South Egypt, south of Cairo, and just below the famous Aswan Dam. You will notice something right about Aswan: it is a much friendlier and far more relaxed environment than you will find anywhere else in Egypt.

The above is not to imply that other Egyptian cities are rude to tourists, because they are not. In fact, most merchants are very attentive to “wealthy westerns.” However, in comparison, Aswan has fewer problems with crime, more positive communication between locals and tourists, and an overall friendlier feel. Some tourists have commented that in Aswan the locals look after you as if you were their own family. That’s the kind of hospitality you want!

Speaking of which, what kind of hospitality can you find amongst Aswan Hotels? First decide if you will be looking for budget hotels in Aswan or more expensive options.


Budget Hotels in Aswan


If you’re planning to save money on accommodations so you can see more sites in Egypt then that’s a shrewd idea. You can definitely find cheap hotels that offer friendly service and even some striking scenery. However, cheap hotels tend to be rundown inside and out.

Some cheap hotels worth considering are the Philae Hotel, the Keylany Hotel, the Noorhan Hotel and the Marwa Hotel. Of these, the Keylany Hotel is probably the best as it offers clean accommodations, though you have to pay extra for WiFi service. The HI Youth Hostel is another option for traveling students.


Midrange Luxor Hotels


For midrange hotels, the Mövenpick Elephantine Island Resort offers a reasonable compromise with some luxury and comfort for a moderate price. You get a health spa, gymnasium with exercise equipment, sauna, steam room, chilled water pool and a Swedish/Loofa massage.


Luxury Hotels In Aswan


If you are looking for top-end hotels in Aswan then you have to consider the Old Cataract Hotel on Abtal El Tahrir Street. Of all the Aswan hotels, this seems to be the most popular choice. While the comfort level of beds has been rated average, customers have consistently rated the ambiance and décor of the hotel very high.

Some have commented that the hotel/restaurant feels like a time warp back to another century. The hotel also overlooks the Nile River opposite the island of Elephantine, so you can expect some very nice outdoor scenery in addition to interior delights.

Along with Aswan’s naturally friendly spirit, quality hotels in Aswan are truly a favorite among tourists hoping to get away from the noise of Cairo and Luxor.
