TERRACE
Watch the sun set over Upper Egypt while sampling from a menu of beautifully presented dishes and delicacies at Aswan's "hottest table." Stunning panoramas from this terrace restaurant and bar soar over Khnum Temple and Elephantine Island.
1902 RESTAURANT
At our signature 1902 restaurant, celebrate 12 decades of gastronomy with exquisite French cuisine paired with fine wines from the sommelier. Relax beneath the grand Arabian dome by a Qualaun crypt, and savor steamed lemongrass fish or filet mignon.
ORIENTAL KEBABGY
Oriental chefs blend local flavors with rich Levant cuisine at Oriental Kebabgy, a top Aswan restaurant. Over a feast of spicy, grilled meat and herbed rice, recline on gold banquettes or linger on the terrace with sweeping views of the Nile River.
SARAYA
In this gourmet all-day dining restaurant in Aswan, feast on fresh Mediterranean cuisine with local flavors, from handmade pasta to fish. Copper lamps flicker in our Aswan dining room with Moorish arches in cream and scarlet. Outside, a terrace tempts.
PALMS
Relax and unwind with a cocktail while you gaze at incredible sunsets over the Nile. Or indulge in traditional High Tea with scones, strawberries and cream, gourmet sandwiches and savory snacks.

PROMENADE
Set on the Palace's rose granite promontory, the Promenade offers prime views of Elephantine Island and the Khnum Temple. Sip champagne cocktails or sweet hibiscus tea at our majestic Aswan bar, as the sun disappears over the flowing Nile River.
THE BAR
Sybille de Margerie invokes the elegance of Egyptian codes in this British-style piano bar: brass lantern chandeliers, rich mahogany, crushed velvet and cool leather. Enjoy a malt whisky or dry martini, a favorite of Sir Winston Churchill.
YASMINE
Tucked by the pool overlooking the Nile, this healthy Aswan bar displays striking décor: deep purple, rich wood, glowing crystal. Cool off from the Nubian sun with a hand-squeezed lemonade or energy-boosting smoothie. Unwind on a grand chaise longue.
4 breakfasts Non contractual photo
2 pools
For a sublime swimming experience, plunge into an outdoor infinity pool that appears to cascade into the sacred waters of the Nile. You will find an equally evocative Egyptian experience at the indoor heated pool, surrounded by shimmering mosaic pillars.

Spa
After a busy day in Aswan, Sofitel SPA invites you to revitalize in the hammam, jacuzzi and indoor heated pool (adult only) surrounded by glittering mosaic pillars.

Dear Valued Guest, Bonjour Firstly we would like to thank you for the lovely review you shared following your recent visit to our Sofitel Legend Old Cataract hotel and are delighted to read that we were able to match your holiday expectations. It is very unfortunate that our outdoor swimming pool is closed for civil work that must be done to maintain the highest safety and quality measures expected from the hotel. The hotel still provides an indoor swimming pool inside the hotel SPA. We look forward to welcoming you back to Sofitel legend Old Cataract Aswan again soon for another memorable stay with us!
