Sofitel Legend Old Cataract Aswan
From your private terrace at Sofitel Legend Old Cataract Aswan, watch feluccas as they sail past Elephantine Island. Most of the 138 rooms and suites offer Nile views; choose from the original Byzantine-style historical Palace or the lavishly contemporary Nile Wing. Regally perched atop a pink-granite shelf, this Victorian-era hotel has been extensively renovated with French and Middle Eastern décor while still maintaining its period grandeur. Choose from eight restaurants and bars, including the signature 1902 restaurant, serving nouvelle cuisine under a 65-foot dome. The So SPA is a wellness temple in the heart of Nubia.

Enjoy a gin and tonic or other favorite cocktail on the terrace at sunset, soaking in the stunning, 180-degree view of the Nile.
