Aswan is Egypt's gentlest Nile town, where the river narrows between granite islands and golden dunes. It is a place to slow down, and this is the hotel to do it in.
Getting there
EgyptAir flies from London Heathrow (LHR) to Aswan International Airport (ASW), with one stop in Cairo International Airport (CAI). There are no direct flights from the UK.
Where you stay
