02 Overview

A first look

Located in Aswan, Obelisk Nile Towers Hotel is available for one-night and short-stay bookings. We arrange private transfers and flexible check-in where possible as a licensed Egyptian tour operator.

Background

The facts

Obelisk Nile Towers Hotel is located at 138 Kornish Al Nile in central Aswan, on the west bank of the Nile waterfront. The property’s position places it close to the city’s riverfront promenade and within practical reach of Aswan’s central commercial area, with Nile views from selected rooms and balconies.

Aswan is Egypt’s southern gateway city, situated on the Nile roughly 220 km south of Luxor by road. The city is known for its river setting, felucca activity, and access to sites such as the Philae Temple area, the Aswan High Dam, and the Unfinished Obelisk. For hotel guests, the riverfront location is useful for local transport access, dining, and sightseeing logistics.

The hotel offers standard city-view rooms and larger Nile-facing rooms with private balconies. Accommodation is booked on a bed-and-breakfast basis when BB rates are selected, with a breakfast buffet served on-site. Practical facilities include complimentary Wi‑Fi, on-site parking, a front desk, and an airport shuttle service subject to the hotel schedule.

Seasonal gala supplements may apply for Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve stays, with a compulsory New Year’s Eve dinner. Children aged 6 to 11.99 typically receive a 50% discount on those gala dinners. Discovery Tours Egypt can arrange the booking as a licensed Egyptian tour operator, but the hotel itself is operated by the third-party property.

Suited to

Is this for you?

Yes, if

  • This hotel suits couples, independent travelers, and small families who want a central Aswan base with Nile views and straightforward amenities. It also works well for travelers who prefer a city hotel with balcony rooms, breakfast included, and easy access to transport.
  • It is a good fit for guests who plan light sightseeing, riverfront walks, or day visits to Aswan-area attractions and want a practical overnight stay rather than a resort-style property.

What lingers

  • 01 Obelisk Nile Towers Hotel sits on the Nile with rooms facing the river and Aswan Corniche access.
  • 02 Short taxi ride to Philae Temple and the Nubian Museum; about 10–20 minute journeys depending on traffic.
  • 03 Convenient base for Abu Simbel day trips by road or flight.
  • 04 We can arrange private transfers between the hotel and Aswan International Airport.
  • 05 Operated by a licensed Egyptian tour operator; we inspect the property and offer local advice on Nubian tours.
  • 06 Unlike short Nile cruises, staying ashore lets you return to the hotel at night and choose guided Aswan walks.

  2. 02 How do I get to Obelisk Nile Towers Hotel from Aswan airport?
    We arrange private transfers from Aswan International Airport and the train station to the hotel.

    Yes – we can arrange private excursions from the hotel to Philae, the Aswan High Dam, Elephantine Island and Abu Simbel. Abu Simbel lies approximately 280 km (about three hours) south of Aswan by road and requires an early start; Philae is reached by a short motorboat. Entrance fees and boat timings vary by site and season; we detail inclusions when we confirm your excursion.

  6. 06 Is Obelisk Nile Towers Hotel suitable for families with children?
    The hotel accommodates families; request cots, extra beds or interconnecting rooms at the time of booking. Supervise children around pools and on terraces – many Aswan hotels have steps, uneven flooring and limited pool fencing. Tell us your party composition and ages so we can reserve the most suitable room configuration.

AZAL Pyramids Hotel is a Giza property we arrange for travellers visiting the Giza Plateau. We are a licensed Egyptian tour operator and our Cairo team handles on-the-ground logistics. We prefer to schedule Pyramid visits early in the morning from Giza hotels to avoid afternoon traffic; we do not run large coach groups from here. Rooms are straightforward and some offer rooftop sightlines toward Khufu and the Sphinx; rooftop exposure and street noise vary. Unlike downtown Cairo hotels, a Giza base shortens transfers to the Giza Plateau. We can add private transfers and guided visits on request.
