02Overview
A first look
By late afternoon the palm-lined road into New Aswan feels quieter than the Nile Corniche, and the first thing you notice is the pool water and the soft hiss of the aqua-park slides. At Gloria Aqua Park your approach is across tiled paths toward a compact lobby and the front desk, where a reserved room key waits and a map points to pools and slides.
We arrange your reservation and book the Best Available Rate for the room type you choose, and our local team will confirm check-in details. Unlike larger Nile hotels, Gloria is built around family leisure and on-site waterslides, which suits travellers who want active daytime facilities rather than inner-city luxury.
Background
The facts
Gloria Aqua Park is a 4-star hotel in New Aswan, within Aswan Governorate, at the southern edge of Aswan city. Discovery Tours Egypt books and arranges the stay; the hotel provides the accommodation and facilities.
New Aswan is a newer residential and service district, outside the busy Nile Corniche area. The hotel offers an outdoor pool, an on-site restaurant and lobby bar, complimentary Wi-Fi in rooms and public areas, and an airport-shuttle service listed among its services. No verified road distance or journey time to central Aswan is available in the supplied information.
The supplied property information describes room-only rates sold per room per night. Breakfast is not guaranteed unless a board basis is reserved. Tourism or city taxes, spa treatments, paid hotel activities and transfers are not included unless booked separately.
Front desk assistance and basic concierge services are available for check-in, check-out and local arrangements. Check the selected room rate for its meal basis and confirm shuttle availability before travel; no opening hours or seasonal operating schedule were supplied for the pool or dining venues.

Suited to
Is this for you?
Yes, if
- Gloria Aqua Park suits budget-conscious couples, independent travellers and small families who want a practical 4-star base in New Aswan rather than a stay on Aswan’s busy Nile Corniche. It is a good match for guests who value a pool, Wi-Fi and straightforward rooms over luxury facilities.
Maybe not, if
- Choose a hotel in central Aswan instead if you want to walk easily to the Nile Corniche or prefer a luxury stay. Families with very young children should confirm lift availability and room location before booking.

Tailor it
Make it yours
- Rooms are sold room-only unless you reserve a board basis, so breakfast is not guaranteed with the standard rate. Airport transfers and guided excursions can be arranged if pre-booked
- ask us to check room location and lift access before confirming.
All requests handled by your dedicated specialist before booking.
Where it fits
– Use Gloria Aqua Park as a practical Aswan base before or after visits to Philae Temple and the Aswan High Dam. Its New Aswan location is outside the Nile Corniche area, so allow for road travel to central Aswan sights.
Accessibility
Who can join this
The hotel has stepped access to the main lobby and several guest-room blocks, with stairs and some ramps between levels. Public areas include tiled floors, poolside paving, and a short flight of steps to the restaurant terrace; some corridors may be narrower than modern universal-access standards. Several ground-floor rooms are available on request, and we can arrange transfers and assistance at check-in. Please tell us about mobility needs before travel so we can advise which rooms suit you; independent mobility on historic streets in central Aswan is affected by cobbles and uneven surfaces beyond the hotel grounds.
Before you go
What to pack & wear
What to bring
- Valid passport or photo ID
- Comfortable walking shoes for uneven surfaces
- Sunscreen SPF30 or higher and a wide-brim hat
- Reusable water bottle
- Light daypack for sun protection and personal items
- Prescription medication in original packaging
- Phone charger and EU plug adapter (types C and F)
What to wear
- Lightweight, loose-fitting clothing for daytime heat
- Long sleeves or a scarf for sun protection and modesty
- Closed shoes for walking on cobbles or paved surfaces
- Smart-casual outfit for the hotel restaurant or bar
Children & families
Minimum age for standard bookings is usually 2 years; infants under 2 often stay free in the same room, subject to cot availability. Child rates for older children vary by room occupancy and the hotel may charge an extra-bed supplement. Strollers are practical in many hotel areas but can be awkward on nearby streets with uneven paving. Request cots or high chairs at the time of booking so the hotel can reserve equipment.
Indicative rates only – pricing and rooms fluctuate. Please enquire for live rates on your specific dates.

CairoThe Barceló Cairo Pyramids Hotel
Barceló Cairo Pyramids Hotel sits on the Giza edge, with rooftop terraces that face Khufu and Khafre. We use this hotel when clients want a clear pyramid view without staying on the plateau itself. The hotel provides a rooftop pool, an on-site restaurant and rooms with direct pyramid views when available. It is approximately a 10–15 minute private-car transfer to the Giza Plateau; traffic can lengthen journeys to central Cairo and the Egyptian Museum (typically 30–45 minutes). Expect some road noise on the main approach road, and book pyramid-view rooms early–they are limited.

Beach Albatros Resort sits on the Red Sea coast in Hurghada and offers beach and pool facilities. We are a licensed Egyptian tour operator and do not run group bus tours; all transfers are private and our Hurghada team offers 24/7 on-ground support. Unlike cruise-based excursions, a land stay lets you snorkel independently on the house reef or join an optional private day trip to Giftun Island. Expect busy high season; buffet restaurants can queue at peak times and there is limited shade at midday on parts of the beach. We can add private snorkelling guides, scuba lessons and transfers to Hurghada Airport.
