Unlike Cairo, Aswan is much slower paced and people are much nicer. The city has several historical sites, temples, and islands. The views and food are amazing. I’m skipping Cairo on my next trip to Egypt and coming straight to Aswan and Luxor.

A very beatiful place to relax and enjoy the sun during winter.
We felt very safe and happy.
The local market is great it has unique and authentic goods.
The philae Temple is great it has spots to take photos and great views.
We enjoyed the Botonical Garden very much as it has plants from all over the world.
The feluca ride is one of the best things we enjoyed but first you have to agree on the price.

Tombs of the Nobles were really neat if you can make it over to the other bank. Watch out for the camel guys there though. We got roped into $50 camel rides.
Aswan was probably our least favorite stop in Egypt. Harassment by salespeople was higher here than at the Great Pyramids, and much higher than Luxor! We couldn't walk anywhere at anytime of the day without a salesperson walking with us for several blocks. And as soon as they were done, someone else would take over. Its too bad, I think the corniche could be a really pretty walk!

Aswan is pleasant pretty city on upper Nile within easy day excursion to Abu Simbel. Don't ride camel at Giza, ride one at Aswan out into the desert. Ride felucca boat around Elephantine Island. Eat at King Jamaica restaurant. Stop to see unfinished obelisk

Everyone was so friendly and helpful.

I didn’t realize that the hotel was undergoing a little construction. It looked like they were upgrading their ramp. This meant we had to carry our bags up the stairs to the lobby.
The property is beautiful and has a terrific view of the town and we could see the Nile from our room. The restaurant was very good- we had dinner there.
BTW the construction noise never bothered us. We couldn’t hear it at all.

If you are doing the Initiatic path, Elephantine Island is so perfect. We stayed at Mango Tree (feel like exotic move stars) and Nubian Dreams (also a restaurant but we scored their top floor room and that is super fun) We also stayed at Nubian Palace, oh my gosh. Take a little private ferry and go to that place. Its so memorable. Philae temple was set up from our host at Nubian Palace (which we usually never do but she is a badass and handles it so you don't have to negotiate to and from the ferry marina) Stay on the west bank. Never the east. Its so loud and full of hustle. The west bank is like real Egypt. Lovely. Easy to start the temple path to Abu Simbel by hopping on a local large bus. Fun, cheap, easy. (Its a little more coming back but its all very cheap so be nice and accept the system) From here you can take a train, bus or private taxi to Kom Ombo and Edfu as you make your way to Luxor. (ALSO STAY ON THE WEST BANK in luxor) What a lovely quiet and profoundly spiritual adventure.
Mango Guest House is in an amazing location on Elephantine Island and easily accessible by local ferry. The house is beautiful, clean and staff were more than accommodating and welcoming. They were helpful with booking transportation and have drinks and food available on site. No pressure and friendly people. If you are staying in Aswan the island is the best choice to stay. It is quiet, rich in local Nubian culture and offers a number of small restaurants. 100% would recommend Mango Guest House to friends.
We were pleasantly surprised by this comfy hotel! It is in the perfect location. If you don’t want to stay on elephantine island to do excursions, this is the place! It is literally RIGHT across from the ferry to the island and in walking distance of great restaurants on the river. The room is comfy and the staff literally bent over backwards to help get us to Abu Simbel when our tour cancelled on us and we were leaving the next day! Literally they saved our trip lol. Definitely recommend if in Aswan!
Good value for money! The owner was welcoming and accommodating. He was also one of few people we encountered in Egypt who didn't try to hustle or hassle us, so thank you. The breakfast was delicious! We felt safe here. Being in the Nubian village was much nicer than staying in Aswan city. The owner helped us organise a boat to King Jamaica restaurant as well as deal with our rubbish driver we unfortunately booked online. (btw, I advise you booked drivers through hotels and regret that we didn't)
My wife and I chose the Basma Hotel for our stay in Aswan, and we were definitely not disappointed. The room was clean and comfortable with a great view of the Nile River. The staff were very friendly and hospitable. The food at the restaurant "The Lotus" was fantastic. Big shout out to our waiter Akhmed for suggesting the buffet, and his awesome service! If you're looking for an excellent hotel at a great price, look no further then the Basma! You will not be disappointed..
I was a little sceptical about the near perfect reviews this place has, until we had the pleasure of spending our time there. Kafana is a wonderful honest host, who works extraordinary hard to ensure your comfort and enjoyment. The place is literally next to the river on the beautiful elephantine island (easy to get back and forth from the mainland via guesthouse private motorboat) and attached is a fantastic restaurant. Forgo hotels or 5 star resorts - if you can stay here, do it!
Good location. Lovely decorations and room is quite new with good view to Nile river with balcony. Service is exceptional, over our expectations at first. Good stop to stay and discover Aswan after some discoveries with long walking in Cairo since the hotel is very quite and made us feel very peaceful with good sleep. Can book boat tour directly from hotel too with reasionable price. Besides, love the hotel's staff and manager, all is super duper supportive.
I would recommend anyone travels to Aswan book this. The host really gives me a real flavour of Nubian life style and he is so good in arranging all your travels hassle free with a reasonable price.
Plus the juice is insanely good and internet quicker than 5 star hotel I have lived in Cairo and Luxor.
I rarely left any comment but this is a solid recommendation from me, especially if you like me who travels with no clear agenda booked ahead.
Set in a quiet Nubian village on the West Bank of Aswan you feel a world away from the busyness of so much of Egyptian cities. We spent so much time just sitting on the river bank with local kids, animals and watching the boats sail past. The staff were fantastic, catering to food and trip requests with slow easy pace, making sure we were comfortable. Currently undergoing renovations but will be our place to stop next time we visit Aswan.
Best stay in our two weeks in Egypt!
The person is very honest and he doesn't insist on anything. We even forget a jacket in a taxi from Aswan to Luxor and he managed everything to send it to our hotel in Luxor for FREE which is not so common in Egypt!
It s a tradionnal house, very peaceful, breakfeast is delicious. If you are looking for a real experience you go for it!
Staff especially Reko is very friend and help with everything such as your or text booking but there’s always room for negotiation. The best thing about the guest house is the view, I see Nile from my window. it’s located in elephantine island which means you will need to prepare 5 Egyptian pounds each time for ferry but it runs every 3-5 min so it’s not an issue.
I must say Sofitel Legend in Aswan is one of the top hotels I’ve ever stayed in. The staff was so helpful and hospitable, I felt on numerous occasions they have went above and beyond. My room was so dreamy with the views of the Nile. The architecture, interior design, the staff, the views, the spa and the pool was PERFECT. I look forward to visiting again!!!
Overall had a great visit here! The rooms were very comfortable and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful! They made us feel welcome and arranged for a late checkout so we could leave our things in the room until our train in the evening. Would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a place to stay in Aswan!
The hotel is situated in a beautiful part of Aswan. Our room overlooked the Tomb of the nobles. The was spectacular. The best part of our stay was the extra care we received from Farouk, the hotel’s manager. He accommodated us with an early check in which made our stay nicer. The restaurants are very lovely too.
Quality of small hotels in Egypt are so far away from european standards, so it was a really nice surprise to find this gem in Aswan region. Clean, good service, peculiar decoration and excellent view to river..A must to have half board ( delicious lunch) and to taste the nunbian coffee..thanks
Very friendly and extremely helpful staff. They arranged all the tours for me with a very reasonable price and took care of all the hotel and airport transfers. The hotel is so pretty and cozy. Best place to stay on Aswan
This is a very pleasant and clean place, it's a guesthouse not a hotel so expect the hospitality of the family. Not a luxury stay but a calm and peaceful place away from the noise and chaos of Aswan city.
Beautiful room, clean and great facilities. One of the best 5 star hotels. There was a wide selection for their buffet breakfast. Staff were really helpful and friendly.
Very big room with nice view over Aswan and the Nile river.
The staff was really nice compared to other hotels we stayed at in Egypt.
Breakfast was OK.
