Sofitel Legend Old Cataract Aswan 5 estrelas

Here on an OAT tour. Nice view from the veranda. Fair buffet. Good service. Good size room. Comfortable bed. Friendly staff. Needs some work but acceptable by Egyptian standards, as of this writing. No major problems. Good coffee and tea service in room.

I had the pleasure of experiencing the Cataract Hotel in Aswan during an afternoon tea on their terrace, and it was truly enchanting. The setting, right on the Nile with a felucca boat gliding by, was absolutely stunning. Although we were on an excursion and stayed on our own private boat with a group of 17 people, our visit to the Cataract Hotel was made even more special by the knowledgeable and gracious Moh, who allowed us to explore the suite where Agatha Christie penned "Death on the Nile." This historic gem of a hotel is a testament to elegance and charm. Without a doubt, our next visit to Aswan will include a stay at the Cataract Hotel.

I lead a very special retreat throughout ancient Egypt. Having high tea in Aswan at The Old Cataract is always a special experience. I always ask for Moh— he is a very special employee, friendly and an excellent representative of the hotel. He bends over backwards to make sure our time at the hotel is special, including a tour of the Agatha Christie Suite.

After years of travel and many lovely hotels we have finally found perfection. The Cataract has it all. Stunning rooms which are really suites, beautiful facilities, impeccable service and a view over the Nile which is breathtaking. A perfect blend of history and modern convenience the hotel is designed and fitted out to meet your every need. The well-trained staff are there at every turn but are never intrusive. An absolute gem of a hotel, one of the highlights of our incredible tour of Egypt.

I had the most amazing half hour massage this afternoon - Donia has magic hands that alleviated knots in my shoulders and left me feeling incredibly relaxed! All the staff were friendly and made me feel special ❤️ thanks so much!
