So, you want to go to Abu Simbel but don't want to be limited by 2 hours at the temples? Or, you want to see the Sound and Light Show, but don't want to be in a boat? Then staying here is your best option. Brother and I shared a room in Dec 2011. The rooms are exactly how they... More

Felt like a celebrity renting out the whole property as the resort is so large and spread out. Saw a few people only although on the reservation list at the front desk it stated that there were 17 people booked in for the night. Very easy to access the hotel by the Egyptair shuttle bus that heads to the temples... More

We are in our 60s and retired. When we travel we enjoy comfort and upscale hotels. This hotel did not disappoint us. We stay here for 1 night on May 23, 2011. A short flight from Aswan-about 30 minutes-and we're here. As we get ready to land the plane flies over the Sun Temple of Ramses II and we get... More

We booked our stay through Orbitz (via the TA site) and pre-paid our one nite stay for $246. A few days before arriving I received my reminder confirmation e-mail from Orbitz, which I printed out. When we arrived my wife waited in the taxi with our luggage while I went into register. It turned out we were the only guests... More

Our one night at this hotel turned out to be the high point of an 8-day trip through Egypt. The hotel has gorgeous grounds, a nice pool, and is situated on Lake Nasser. You really feel that you are in Africa. Our room was clean and the beds were very comfortable. We had a very relaxed afternoon and evening hanging... More

We had read reviews that the Sound & Light Show at Abu Simbel was considered to be the best in Egypt and so we really had no choice but to stay at this hotel. All in all the Sound & Light show made our one night stay sufferable. It was spectacular, so much so that we bought the Dvd for... More

This is the best option for accommodation in Abu Simbel if one wants to see the Sight and Sound show in the evening, which is definitely worthwhile. The hotel itself is in a beautiful setting on the edge of Lake Nasser and the concept/ design of the buildings is stunning. The rooms and general appearance is not up to scratch... More

The place is pleasant enough, but I am not happy that they ripped me off on the rack rate when I phoned them. Don't forget to haggle! The food is bland but otherwise the hotel is acceptable. Location is good. You can walk 20 minutes to the temples. More

I really wanted to see the sound and light show at Abu Simbel. I knew this hotel would not meet my standards but there were no other choices I could find for an over-night. My room was very far from the lobby and restaurant. Lots of large bus tours in hotel. Hotel really wanted everyone to eat at the buffet.... More
