Mövenpick Resort Aswan

Aswan


Hidden in a large, lush garden but dominated by an eyesore tower, the Mövenpick sits on the northern end of Elephantine Island. The hotel has very comfortable rooms, featuring Nubian styles and colours. The swimming pool is great, as is the tower-top restaurant and bar. This is a great place for families to stay.

Guests are transported to and from the town centre by a free ferry. Book online for the best rates.
