Every great journey starts with a single idea. Let me turn this hotel or experience into a fully customized trip, handling everything from airfare and accommodations to tours, transportation, and travel protection, so you can travel with confidence.
Step into the majestic Sofitel Legend Old Cataract Aswan Hotel, where King Fouad once entertained, and Agatha Christie sipped cocktails! This luxury hotel is housed in a 9th-century Victorian palace that sits on a pink-granite cliff overlooking the world's longest river. It is situated in the Nubian Desert on the banks of the Nile River, opposite Elephantine Island, and blends Pharaonic treasures with French art de recevoir.
This ravishing hotel with its legendary guest list of royals and dignitaries is both ideal for romantic getaways and is a perfect venue for small summits and corporate meetings.
If you can tear yourself away from the beauty of the magnificent Sofitel Legend Old Cataract Aswan, a world of fascination awaits you. Elephantine Island and the Aswan Museum are at your feet. The rock Tombs of Amarna, where ancient Egyptian nobles are buried, are close to the hotel. Aswan city center is a stroll away. Other attractions to tempt you during your stay include: Nubian Museum, Philae Temple, and the Unfinished Obelisk. After exploring the area, return to the hotel to indulge in French and oriental cuisine along with great wines.

Aswan
Aswan is Egypt's sunniest southern city and has a distinctively African atmosphere. The pace of life here in the most beautiful setting on the Nile is slow and relaxing. It is a favorite winter resort spot for Europeans, Middle Easterns and Africans alike - it's a perfect place to get away from it all. Strolling up and down the Corniche, one can watch sailboats glide by. Savor the flavor of locally caught fish while listening to Nubian music or wander in the bazaar and get lost in the sights and sounds of this mystical place. Visit the Aga Khan Mausoleum, the Monastery at Qubbat al-Hawa, the Unfinished Obelisk, The Tombs of the Nobles, Qubbat al-Hawa, the Monastery at Aswan , or the St. Simeon monastery (Anba Hatre), uninhabited and just outside of Aswan.
