The best Aswan hotels offer a wonderful haven of air-conditioned calm and all-inclusive holiday comfort. All Aswan holiday visitors will wish to see amazing sights like Elephant Island and the Philae Temple. Top Aswan attractions also include the Aswan Dam, the Monastery of St. Simeon and the botanical gardens on Kitchener Island. Cultural holidays take in traditional Nubian villages in the lush surrounding countryside. Family holiday visitors will enjoy camel treks and a trip on a traditional felucca sailboat.

With so much to see we highly recommend taking organised tours with knowledgeable guides and well-planned itineraries.
