Built in 1974 and renovated in 2009, the resort features 230 rooms ranging from Classic rooms with garden views to Royal Villas and Panoramic Nile View Suites. Guests can enjoy amenities such as four restaurants, four bars, a spa and wellness centre with massage and sauna, a fitness centre, and an outdoor heated swimming pool. The hotel also provides facilities for meetings and events, free parking, and a children’s playground. Despite some comments on the age of the property, visitors highlight the exceptional location, spacious grounds, and attentive service by staff members. The resort’s breakfast buffet is noted for its wide variety and quality, while the on-site spa and pool receive frequent praise for relaxation and cleanliness.

Location

Located on Elephantine Island within Aswan, Mövenpick Resort Aswan is approximately 15 km from Aswan International Airport (ASW). It sits directly on the Nile River, providing panoramic river views from many rooms and restaurants. The Agha Khan Tomb is only 1.4 km away, making it a convenient cultural landmark to visit. The hotel can be reached via a shuttle boat since there is no direct bridge connecting the island to the mainland. Nearby dining options include the highly rated Art Cafe just 54 meters away and the BABA DOOl cafe 182 meters from the hotel. This setting combines a peaceful island atmosphere with easy access to Aswan’s main attractions.

Tips

Arrive prepared for the shuttle boat transfer to the island, especially if traveling with luggage.
To enjoy breakfast on early excursions, bring your own container as the hotel does not provide packed breakfasts.
Consider requesting rooms on the west side for a quieter stay away from the hotel’s busier areas.

Although the hotel is a bit old, the environment is great. You can take a boat on the Nile right outside, which is always convenient. It's also very close to the Old Cataract Hotel.

Amazing location in the middle of the river nile.

30.12.2025 Fion

Hotel a bit old or outdated. However location was very central and high security. Got to leave rather early for excursion and requested breakfast to go service and was told it not possible. You will have to bring your own bag/box to pack your own breakfast box.

It was just too good

11.08.2025 RIZWAN

The hotel and service were excellent. We rented 3 rooms while visiting the Aga Khan Mausoleum in Aswan. However, I must say that in Egypt, the porters and waiters are overly pushy and constantly focused on getting tips, which becomes very annoying.”

01.03.2025 Amasa

We had a wonderful stay. The property is beautiful and couldn't be more safe if you had little ones who needed to run around. We had absolutely fantastic massages. The spa is not large, but very nice. There is also a gym, heated pool, very large indoor jacuzzi, saunas in the spa restrooms. My mom and I had a great experience. Our only disappointment was that we ordered a Caesar salad at the bar restaurant and it was iceberg lettuce with mayonnaise. But this is sort of par for the course for food in Egypt. We found everything we ordered on the economy to be very bland. The breakfast buffet at the hotel was FABULOUS. There were more options that we could possibly have tasted. Fresh made eggs and omelets, Asian foods, French breakfasts, American breakfasts. Really anything you could possibly want and great coffee.

06.02.2025 Sami

It is hard to justify the cost with the service, almost $300 a night for a really old tiny room. Location is amazing with nice view, restaurant on site and its staff are great, however the level of the rooms ( rust - bad shower- low water pressure- small bathroom) got me to think the value vs what I paid.

12.01.2025 Guest

The hotel is three stars marketed as five.

12.01.2025 Lukas

The hotel is located on a small island Elephantine island on the Nile River in the middle of Aswan. The hotel is very nice, modern and safe. There is also a high tower in the area, the service is at a high level and the food is very tasty. You can spend the day sailing on a small boat around the hotel, or you can spend time lying on a deck chair and enjoying the atmosphere and pleasant views of palm trees and the Nile behind which are sand dunes.

01.01.2025 Guest

Fabulous view from our room and the restaurants, great food and a genuine inclination from the staff to help guests. We loved our 2 nights here. The deer enclosure is a treat. We also loved watching all the birds along the river bank.

10.02.2026 Rammers

Rooms are excellent value. Service was very good with a meet and greet followed by arranging all our trips. All given with warm Nubian hospitality. Location: being on the west side of elephantine island, it is quieter. It is right on the river with botanical gardens island (Kitchener island) just across with sand dune hills beyond. Bird life is amazing. Get up early and sit and watch the amazing river, bird life and natural panoramic views. Highly recommend.

02.02.2026 Ahmed

Staying at Baba Dool was one of the highlights of my trip to Aswan.
The location is fantastic — right on the Nile with amazing panoramic views of the river and nature all around. The whole place is super calm and serene, no noise, just peace and fresh air.
What really makes it special is the people. Hagga Rawiya and the family are incredibly welcoming, generous, and full of warmth. Their kindness and hospitality make you feel at home instantly. Everything feels authentic and simple in the best way.
Clean, comfortable, amazing food options, and that Nile view from the room… honestly, it’s hard to leave!
If you want a real Nubian experience away from the tourist hustle, this is the place. 100% recommend! 🙏

25.11.2025 Tiago

Best place to stay in Elephanine island. Ahmed was great, as was the accomodation staff, always ready to help. It has probably the best view of the Nile and the quietest terrace in the island. It's just magical.

14.10.2025 Felix

One of the best hotels in the area! The views from the 3 different terrasses are incredible! The rooms are very comfortable and spacious. Good price. And meet with Rawia, you will have a very nice talk about Nubian culture!

26.04.2025 Pierre

Three French men travelling around Egypt stopped at Baba Dool place for a one night stay.
Rawia welcomed us with a lot of hospitality and we enjoyed her dinner meal!
The accomadation is clean, air conditioned and benefits from a wonderful view on the west Nile river side.
We all three recommend this place !
One advice : when you arrive in Aswan, make sure to take the local ferry at good price (close to the KFC restaurant). A little walk will lead you to Baba Dool place and make you discover the Elephantine island atmosphere.
