Nestled majestically along the banks of the Nile in Aswan, the Cataract Hotel emerges as a true gem among Egypt's hospitality offerings. Renowned for its unparalleled views and impeccable service, this hotel is not just a place to stay; it's a Cinderella dream brought to life.
From the moment I arrived, I was swept away by the breathtaking vistas of the Nile and the serene Elephantine Island. The ambiance is one of timeless elegance, where every corner whispers tales of ancient Egypt's grandeur and modern luxury seamlessly blends with historical charm.
The staff at Cataract Hotel epitomizes hospitality at its finest. From the warm welcome at check-in to the attentive care throughout my stay, their dedication to ensuring a memorable experience was evident. Notably, they surprised me with an upgrade, enhancing my already high expectations.
Rooms at Cataract Hotel are nothing short of exquisite. My upgraded accommodations were spacious, tastefully decorated, and offered panoramic views that rival any in Egypt. Waking up to the gentle hues of sunrise over the Nile felt like a scene from a fairytale.
Dining at the hotel was a culinary delight. The restaurants offered a diverse array of gourmet dishes, each prepared with local ingredients and served with a touch of finesse. Whether enjoying breakfast overlooking the Nile or savoring a romantic dinner under the stars, every meal was an experience to remember.
Location-wise, Cataract Hotel is ideally situated for exploring Aswan's treasures. From nearby temples to traditional markets, the hotel's concierge was always ready to assist with recommendations and arrangements, ensuring I made the most of my visit.

People are talking about Unfinished Obelisk! Explore guest hotel reviews featuring "Unfinished Obelisk"
Clean good quality room with a view of the Nile. Located within walking distance from the main strip (where boats could be taken to nearby islands and Nubian village). Aswan museum and unfinished obelisk were also right nearby. Personal touches by the cleaning staff were welcomed. Staff were relaxed on pool closing time which we appreciated for an early evening swim.
Big and very peaceful place. Habib is very helpful and he arranged a day trip to the Aswan high dam, Philae temple and unfinished obelisk. Thumbs up for our driver Kareem. If you ever need a driver there, ask for Kareem, very polite and friendly guy.
Habib also arranged a driver to drive us all the way to Luxor. Thank you Habib
Nice location across from Nubian museum. A bit of a walk to the unfinished obelisk but good exercise. It looked closer on the map but the streets are not straight through.
The restaurant to top notch for breakfast and dinners. Incredible selections and quality of food. The restaurant staff was very friendly.
Beautiful views of the Nile.
