Aswan, Egypt


Aswan, Egypt

In the budget range, the Keylany Hotel is probably the best hotel in Aswan. It is small, with only 21 rooms but they are clean and there is a choice between air conditioned rooms and those with ceiling fans. There are also private baths, and breakfast is included in the price.

The Nubian Oasis Hotel has been for some time a popular spot for budget travelers to Aswan. Here, the rooms are clean and have air conditioning and private baths. There is also a large lounge area and a roof garden where beer is served.

The Amun is situated on its own island, which is beautiful and peaceful with well designed gardens and a view of Elephantine Island. This is a small, Club Med operation, and some would say the hotel needs an additional star. It has a huge swimming pool facing town, restaurant perched above rocks and the river, bar and steam room. Some of the 19th century structure it was build around remains. Rooms have private baths (with showers only) and balconies. The service is great and friendly, the food is excellent, and if you can afford a few extra dollars, this is the place to stay.
