This hotel is stunning! Take the free bus from the airport to Abu Simbel. ( I believe the bus was called Happy...I think.) Once you get to Abu Simbel, it's a quick 5-10 minute walk to the hotel. Walking straight to the hotel once you get to Abu Simbel helps to avoid the crowds when you go there afterwards. The views from this hotel are amazing! There is a pool area looking over the lake. With it's white villas, blue doors, juxtaposed to the water, I felt like I was in Greece! The water is this really pretty blue/green color and beyond that is nothing but desert. The room was really nice and had everything that you would need. There is also a restaurant on sight....but you can easily walk into the town and go to a local restaurant as well. At night, make sure you head over to Abu Simbel for the light show. That was the highlight of our stay. If you enjoy stargazing, this hotel is the perfect place to do it.
