Nala Narty Boutique Hotel
Aswan
A riverside stay on the Nile with an organic farm, Nubian-inspired decor and a private beach.
Aswan is the southernmost of Egypt's Nile cities, where the river runs between granite boulders, sandy islands and feluccas. The Nubian culture here is distinct from the north, with brightly painted houses, music and food of its own.
Where to stay
The best small hotels sit on the river or on islands such as Heissa, built in Nubian style with domes, shaded terraces and gardens. Staying on the water means arriving by boat and watching the sunset over the western desert.
Good to know
Aswan is a base for Abu Simbel, Philae and Nubian villages, and it is hot from April to October. Bring a hat and plan sightseeing early in the day.
