Worth knowing

How this compares

Many Aswan hotel stays are centred on city access; this property is on Kornish Al Nile, with selected rooms facing the river. Unlike rates that bundle every seasonal meal, Christmas Eve dinner is optional here, while New Year’s Eve dinner is compulsory and charged separately.

The fine print

What's included – and what isn't

1. 01

   Request a Nile-facing room with a balcony when booking; these are among the room types listed, not a feature of every room.

2. 02

   Confirm the airport shuttle schedule with the hotel before relying on it for an Aswan International flight.

3. 03

   Ask for the New Year’s Eve dinner supplement and seating details before confirming a stay over that date.

4. 04

   For a child aged 6 to 11.99, confirm the 50% gala-dinner discount is reflected in the booking.

Tailor it

Make it yours

We can arrange a city-view room or request a larger Nile-facing room with a balcony, subject to availability. Ask us to check the hotel’s airport shuttle schedule and any applicable Christmas Eve or New Year’s Eve dinner charges before confirming. Spa treatments, laundry and mini-bar use are separate guest services.

All requests handled by your dedicated specialist before booking.

Accessibility

Who can join this

The hotel is at 138 Kornish Al Nile in Aswan. The main entrance, lobby and breakfast room have level access, and lifts serve most guest floors. Some Nile-facing balconies have a step and narrow doorways may limit wheelchair access. Paving along the riverside promenade and nearby streets is uneven, with occasional kerbs. The scheduled airport shuttle uses a standard minibus with a low step and no ramp. If you need a ground-floor or wheelchair-accessible room, or help with luggage, tell us before booking so we can request arrangements from the hotel. Room and assistance requests require hotel confirmation.

– Responsible travel

How we travel here

The hotel uses conventional utilities and runs a scheduled airport shuttle with air-conditioned minibuses. Practices reported for the property include LED lighting in public areas, waste separation for recyclables and an option to reuse towels and linen. The hotel sources fruit, vegetables and bread from Aswan markets and employs housekeeping and food service staff from the city. We work directly with the hotel and can request further details about these practices, such as records of local hiring or produce sourcing, when available. We cannot verify documentation for every practice, so we do not make broader environmental claims.
