Location
Situated in Aswan directly opposite the Nubian Museum, Basma Hotel provides easy access to local cultural sites. The hotel is located 14 kilometers from Aswan International Airport (ASW). Agha Khan Tomb, a historic landmark rated 5/10 by visitors, is approximately 1.4 kilometers away. Nearby dining options include Le Pacha Cafe, just 78 meters from the hotel. The property’s hilltop location affords many rooms panoramic views of the Nile River and cityscape, though some guests report that not all rooms or the restaurant have Nile views. The hotel’s position on a hillside means walking back can involve a steep climb, which may be relevant if you plan to explore on foot without a car or driver.
Tips
- If you want a room with a Nile river view, specify this at booking as not all rooms have it.
- Be prepared for a steep walk if you explore nearby on foot without a car.
- Consider trying the à la carte menu at the hotel restaurant rather than the buffet for better food quality.
