DAY 4: ASWAN

We took the one hour flight on Egyptair from Cairo to Aswan and checked into the Movenpick Resort on Elephantine Island is Aswan. This is the view from one of the balconies of our corner Room #231 looking at the Nile, the Botanical Gardens and the sunset. We would have stayed at the Sofitel Old Cataract Hotel, but it is closed for renovation. The Movenpick was previously the Oberoi and is a fully renovated 4.5 star hotel with some great features, including a huge infinity pool overlooking the Nile and the city of Aswan and a tower bar overlooking a 360 degree view of the entire city.
