Description and Services
It is difficult to imagine a more idyllic spot than Egypt's most
southerly town of Aswan. With its row of waterfront shops, congenial
climate and friendly outgoing people the little town has an appealing and
gentle charm all its own. A noted winter resort, Aswan is most
attractively approached by The Nile Cruiser from the ancient city of
Luxor.
Just beyond Aswan lies Abu Simbel, one of Egypt's greatest monuments.
The colossal temple, built in 1300 BC, was plucked bodily from the rising
waters behind the Aswan dam in 1963 and rebuilt stone by stone above the
high water mark. It took over five years to reconstruct and the temple
remains today an extraordinary symbol of devoted care and attention to
detail.
Caring is a way of life in Aswan and nowhere more so than at the Aswan
Oberoi where the famous health Spa attracts almost as many visitors as the
temples of ancient Nubia.
Barely an hour's flight from Cairo or a leisurely four-day trip by the
Nile Cruiser from Luxor, the Aswan Oberoi is one of Egypt's most
sought-after retreats. Quietly secluded among the gardens of Elephantine
Island, the luxuriously appointed resort hotel and its gracious staff have
restored hotel and its gracious staff have restored many a guest to health
and vigor.
The dry climate and magnificent Nile location, the golden desert sands
and the extraordinary sense of Egypt's ancient past induce a deep
restorative calm that has to be experienced to be believed.
The beautiful furnishings, relaxed atmosphere and superb recreation and
health facilities at the Spa make the transformation complete.
