It is our first time in Egypt so it is a must to stay in The Sofitel Legen Old Cataract. Watched the old and new Death on the Nile so I am a fan. I was also looking forward to Egyptian food so we booked a dinner in the The Oriental Kebabgy and the food was amazing and the the service is superb! Highly recommend it!

Best hotel I’ve ever stayed at. Eid was wonder at the front desk (all the staff were wonderful). Husain at the pool deserves a special mention as well (he moved the umbrella with the sun to keep me in the shade all day). Definitely worth the money - I highly recommend!!

Do not miss this if you are in Aswan. Go for high tea. We sat outside overlooking the water. The food and tea were great. The service was excellent. I can’t say enough good things about this experience.

Beautiful property, views, and right on the Nile. Tea on the patio watching the sun set over the Nile was one of the best memories of our trip. Would highly recommend any visitor to Aswan. The staff and the service were top notch. Would come back again.

Beautiful hotel with lots of history. The service was fantastic and the facilities were great. That said, I thought the cocktails were overpriced (30$ per drink) and we had trouble with the a/c. I also thought the food could've been better, but I understand we're far from anything. But besides that we had an amazing time and would definitely come back!

Amazing hotel and experience. The hotel is incredible, view of the Nile River. The food and service from the International Restaurant and Oriental made everything really special for us at Aswan. Thanks for all the team!

After a 3 day stay in the fabulous Old Cataract hotel we did a great hotel tour with Marina. She brought us to see Agatha Christies suite. It was really fabulous and the view from her suite was stunning. Marina was very friendly and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this hotel and Marina’s tour.
