Aswan Cataract Retreat

On the rose-granite rocks of the First Cataract, where the Nile widens among islands, Aswan Cataract Retreat feels like a balcony above Egypt’s loveliest river view. Feluccas drift past the terrace all day, and the horizon glows at sunset over the West Bank dunes.

Rooms and suites blend warm Nubian character with classic elegance. The retreat features a terraced pool set among gardens, a spa with treatments inspired by Nubian clay and herbs, and a restaurant serving Nubian and Mediterranean dishes.

We arrange your visit to Philae Temple, a felucca sail around the islands, a Nubian village visit, and the dawn road trip or short flight to Abu Simbel.
