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.

This is the most beautiful hotel in Aswan, although it is quite old. The new building has a large toilet and a balcony with a beautiful view of the Nile River. The old building has a more historical feel. It depends on personal preference. The French restaurant in the hotel has a dress code prepared in advance. We didn't eat there because we didn't have formal clothes, but we can have breakfast in this restaurant

You need to take a boat to the island, and the boat is very fast, usually every ten minutes, and you will pass by the beautiful scenery that Agatha saw, so it is very worthwhile. The Nile view room is also great for watching the sunrise. The hotel is also very clean, and the facilities are not as bad as they say. It feels like a 5-star hotel in China, and the outside is very beautiful. Breakfast is a lot of desserts, eat some vegetable salad to supplement vitamins. The only thing is that the sleeping pills I put on the bedside were taken away by the cleaner.

Itโs 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. Thereโs a shuttle boat that runs 24 hours to the main center of Aswan. I had an incredible time here. ๏ผ3

The 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.

Every day when I return to the room, it is carefully decorated and my clothes are carefully organized. The Nile River outside at dusk is the most beautiful scenery. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and we were very satisfied. The only drawback was that there were not many meal options, probably because of Ramadan. I don't understand why lunch and dinner cost the same but the amount of fries is three times the amount. The service staff was very nice and attentive. They knew it was my birthday and sent me a surprise, which was very unexpected to me. The birthday cake was the most delicious dessert I have ever had in Egypt. ๐

The hotel is very big and beautiful, the rooms are clean and beautiful, the service staff is very enthusiastic, and they can provide free breakfast package service when you rush to Abu Simbel Temple in the morning.
I got lost on the way back to the villa from the restaurant alone in the evening. I called the hotel front desk. The front desk immediately arranged for a Chinese-speaking lady to call me back, patiently asked and confirmed my location, and immediately asked the hotel shuttle bus to pick me up. Very good stay experience. It was the best stay in half a month of traveling in Egypt.
