Watch the sun set over Upper Egypt while sampling from a menu of beautifully presented dishes and delicacies at Aswan's "hottest table." Stunning panoramas from this terrace restaurant and bar soar over Khnum Temple and Elephantine Island.
At our signature 1902 restaurant, celebrate 12 decades of gastronomy with exquisite French cuisine paired with fine wines from the sommelier. Relax beneath the grand Arabian dome by a Qualaun crypt, and savor steamed lemongrass fish or filet mignon.
Oriental chefs blend local flavors with rich Levant cuisine at Oriental Kebabgy, a top Aswan restaurant. Over a feast of spicy, grilled meat and herbed rice, recline on gold banquettes or linger on the terrace with sweeping views of the Nile River.
In this gourmet all-day dining restaurant in Aswan, feast on fresh Mediterranean cuisine with local flavors, from handmade pasta to fish. Copper lamps flicker in our Aswan dining room with Moorish arches in cream and scarlet. Outside, a terrace tempts.
Relax and unwind with a cocktail while you gaze at incredible sunsets over the Nile. Or indulge in traditional High Tea with scones, strawberries and cream, gourmet sandwiches and savory snacks.

Set on the Palace's rose granite promontory, the Promenade offers prime views of Elephantine Island and the Khnum Temple. Sip champagne cocktails or sweet hibiscus tea at our majestic Aswan bar, as the sun disappears over the flowing Nile River.
Sybille de Margerie invokes the elegance of Egyptian codes in this British-style piano bar: brass lantern chandeliers, rich mahogany, crushed velvet and cool leather. Enjoy a malt whisky or dry martini, a favorite of Sir Winston Churchill.
Tucked by the pool overlooking the Nile, this healthy Aswan bar displays striking décor: deep purple, rich wood, glowing crystal. Cool off from the Nubian sun with a hand-squeezed lemonade or energy-boosting smoothie. Unwind on a grand chaise longue.
For a sublime swimming experience, plunge into an outdoor infinity pool that appears to cascade into the sacred waters of the Nile. You will find an equally evocative Egyptian experience at the indoor heated pool, surrounded by shimmering mosaic pillars.
Kick off a busy day with an energizing workout at our sunny Aswan fitness center, equipped with cross trainers, treadmills, free weights and Technogym Kinesis. A dedicated personal trainer customizes programs for beginners and pros.
After a busy day in Aswan, Sofitel SPA invites you to revitalize in the hammam, jacuzzi and indoor heated pool (adult only) surrounded by glittering mosaic pillars.

The Old Cataract was a perfect place to start and end the day (and to take a midday respite from the May heat in Aswan). The space is perfectly appointed, the location on a curve in the river is stunning, and the service is the best I have experienced in years in Egypt.
