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.
"The iconic location and legendary charm of the Old Cataract speak for themselves, and the quality of the Sofitel Legend brand is absolutely top-notch. During my trip to Egypt, I stayed at several excellent hotels, including Mena House, Rixos, and Waldorf Astoria, but for me, the rooms here were by far the most impressive. The balcony was incredible, offering breathtaking, panoramic views of the Nile. The entire hotel is simply stunning. The service was also exceptional. The only minor drawback was perhaps the somewhat limited breakfast selection. Otherwise, everything else was perfect!"
Discover unparalleled luxury where the Nile's tranquility meets rich hospitality. Our 404 well-appointed rooms and suites offer balconies with breathtaking views of the Nile, Aswan City, or lush gardens.
Indulge in a gourmet culinary journey at The Orangerie or take off to our iconic Panoramic Restaurant for 360-degree Nile views. Unwind at the elegant Nile Lounge or by our sparkling pool.
Explore Aswan's ancient history and vibrant culture from our luxury hotel.
"The check-in process became a bit unpleasant as their stated policies did not match what was written in our trip.com booking confirmation. This included check-in time and number of guests for the room. We included our children and even had their ages listed in the confirmation. Upon check-in we were told that it was only a room for two adults. We were then instructed to pay extra for one child. Policies should be conveyed clearly when booking so we can know what to expect.
Otherwise, the room had a beautiful view and the kids enjoyed the large pool. The breakfast buffet had a great selection."

"The hotel is not as good as expected. There’s no Nile view from our room, located at 2nd floor nor from the restaurant, so we didn’t see Nile from the hotel at all.
The service didn’t make us feel welcomed. The receptionist didn’t say hello or welcome, and looked impatient. When we asked if the hotel has first aid kit, as my husband was scratched by a cat and needed sanitary treatment, the receptionist just directly said “No”, although he promised to check and came back to us, he didn’t…
The room is good but the bathroom is quite old and the AC heat function didn’t work - it’s just around 8 degree during night in Aswan."

"Booking hotels in Aswan and Luxor was a real struggle. In Luxor, I stayed at a Ctrip Five Diamond hotel. In Aswan, we stayed at this guesthouse in a Nubian village. The surroundings weren't particularly impressive, but overall, the guesthouse was quite good. The thin, dark-skinned receptionist was particularly kind. I had already prepared a tip, but he wasn't supposed to be on duty on our last day. I can only give him a verbal compliment. They provided a welcome drink and a takeaway breakfast early in the morning, which was great, as we'd arranged it in advance. However, it's quite far from the city center, and taxis are not only expensive but also nearly impossible to get."
