The Mövenpick Resort Aswan is unparalleled as a base to absorb Nubian culture or to visit the monumental works of the ancient and modern Egyptians at Abu Simbel, the Aswan High Dam and Lake Nasser. Aswan must be the most attractive city in Egypt, perched as it is on the banks and hills lining the Nile as it makes its way through large granite outcrops found along this stretch of the river. These are the famous Nile cataracts, which made navigation on the river difficult and resulted in Aswan becoming a strategic gateway to the trading routes of the south, and a fortress against invasion.

Witnessing sunset over the dunes and the Nile on Elephantine Island is the perfect end to a relaxed day on and around the river.

Indulge your senses in the soothing waters of the large infinity pool, surrounded by gardens bordering the River Nile, filling your day with relaxation.

The traditional feluccas loaded with tourists, add their own charm to the scenery as they gently sail between the numerous islands spread along the river. Some of these islands are well worth a visit with a museum of antiquities, a “Nilometer” at the southern end of Elephantine Island, the largest of them all, and the famous botanical garden on Kitchener’s Island just a stone’s throw to the west of the Resort. While you are here you definitely owe it to yourself to take a felucca ride on the river. There are some minor excavated remains from Pharaonic times on some of the islands in the river, including a small but ancient step pyramid and a temple dedicated to the ramheaded god Khnum, whose worship was centred on Elephantine Island.
