What’s It Like to Stay a Night by the Nile in Egypt?

Hello, I'm Yuchen! Today I’m sharing one of my favorite hotel experiences in Egypt — the magnificent Sofitel Legend Old Cataract in Aswan! 💫 🏨 Sofitel Legend Old Cataract Aswan ✨ One of only 5 Sofitel Legend properties worldwide 📍 Located in Aswan, southern Egypt — right on the banks of the legendary Nile River 🌊, the cradle of ancient Egyptian civilization 📜 Over 100 years of history — hosted royals, celebrities, and even inspired Agatha Christie’s Death on the Nile 📖🎬 🌅 The views here are simply Egypt’s best: at sunset, light shimmers on the water while feluccas sail peacefully ⛵ 🏊 Floating in the pool, feeling the Nile’s tranquility — pure magic 💙 “As long as the Nile flows, Egypt’s civilization lives on.” 🏨 The hotel has two wings: ◽ New Wing: modern, breathtaking Nile views ◽ Old Wing: historic, full of charm and stories I stayed in a Nile View Luxury Room (5th floor, New Wing) — the balcony view was absolutely mesmerizing. I could’ve sat there all day! 🏞️ 🛎️ Service was impeccable: Buggy pickup at entrance 🛺 Chinese-speaking butler 🧳🤵 Welcome drinks + desserts & fruits in room 🍓🍫 Breakfast at the iconic 1902 Restaurant — vintage, elegant, and full of atmosphere 🍽️ 🕑 Stayed: February this year 💰 Price: ~4,000 RMB/night (booked via Ctrip) ✈️ Easy access: Direct flights from Cairo to Aswan, then short taxi to hotel 💡 Even if you’re not staying, you can: Book afternoon tea ☕ Dine at one of their restaurants (though views are not as elevated) This isn’t just a hotel — it’s an experience. If your budget allows, don’t miss it! ✨ #Egypt #EgyptHotels #Aswan #OldCataractHotel #HotelRecommendation #LuxuryTravel #NileExperience #MovieVibes 🎥🐪💦
