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.
