Fit for Pharaohs

A step into Sofitel Legend Old Cataract Aswan is a step beneath Moorish arches, swaying palm fronds and ruby red chandeliers to the lost era of the pharaohs. Glinting in the Egyptian sun to give off a rosy hue, the Old Cataract is a 19th-century palace of the grandest proportions and the dreamiest location.

An oasis of an infinity pool curves through the hotel grounds seemingly flowing into the waters of the Nile below while the tables of the Terrace Restaurant boast some of the most enviable views in Egypt and the 138 rooms and suites embody the timeless sense of elegance and class that the hotel has been so well known for, for over a century.

FRESH ATMOSPHERE

Old-World Glamour

Guest rooms in the main palace pay homage to the hotel’s heritage, but take on a contemporary feel in the newer Nile Wing. United by their elegant decor, contemporary luxuries and signature Sofitel My Beds, every single one of the 138 rooms and suites would be fit for a pharaoh. Take breakfast on the terrace as you watch feluccas sail by. Revitalize in the hammam, jacuzzi and warm indoor pool.

EFFORTLESS ELEGANCE

EXPLORE ANCIENT SITES

Sofitel Legend Old Cataract Aswan Hotel stands at the precipice of all of the Aswan’s stunning ancient sites and landmarks. Step back in time to explore the history and national heritage of the region. Visit the Philae Temple, Tomb of Nobles, or the Nubian Museum. Or take it easy on a sunset or breakfast felucca cruise on the Nile, taking in the sights of the Botanical gardens and the nearby lake.
