Sofitel Legend Old Cataract Hotel - Aswan
If staying at the Old Cataract Hotel is something you were looking forward to, you need to do this tour in 2026. I just noticed that in 2027 the hotel in Aswan will be the Movenpick Aswan. The Old Cataract is a beautiful hotel and a highlight to this already amazing tour. :'(

The Old Cataract was one of favorite hotels!
I’ve stayed at a couple of Movenpick hotels with Tauck. They must have been given a good deal going forward.
On the Jewel of the Nile tour 2026, we don't even stay in Aswan overnight. They fly us back to Cairo. They sent us a letter and said the hotel could not accommodate us due to on-going renovations.
The Old Cataract was indeed a treat. I'm glad the Petra to Pyramids tour was there for two nights. The history, the room, the views......spectacular. I've stayed at a Movenpick hotel on a Tauck tour...I don't recall anything specific.
The hotels in India and Nepal are over the top as well. I can close my eyes and see every beautiful detail. I'm looking forward to the Singapore tour. The India/Nepal TD told me the hotels on that tour are over the top spectacular. I've stayed at the Raffles in Singapore on a previous holiday and I'll get to experience the Raffles during the VCT tour.
Back to the Old Cataract...it's one of the hotels that would be great as a pre or post tour hotel so you could really enjoy the hotel and the amenities for a bit longer. The problem is it is so far out of the way from everything else...or I guess that could be the ultimate relaxing holiday--a trip to the Old Cataract hotel.
