The Benben Hotel

The Benben hotel is a treat of a boutique hotel in Aswan.  What makes it truly special and memorable is its location, seemingly on its own island, jutting out into the Nile, and offering fabulous panoramic views to the Nile and Temple of Philae.   The architecture of the property is Nubian inspired, and the whole property feels very open, fresh and intimate.  The Benben could equally be a perfect retreat after a busy day of touring, or a place to idle away time getting lost in thought as your mind becomes one with the all encompassing Nile landscape.  There is a lovely lounge area for drinks which also offers extremely good international and Middle Eastern food, and all rooms offer water views and many offer hot tubs.  As a smaller boutique hotel kindly note there is no swimming pool.
