When In Aswan, For a Recovery

Our Story

Discover the soul of Aswan on the sacred island of Heissa, where granite peaks meet the eternal flow of the Nile.

Our Story

It all began with a recovery journey. BenBen's owner headed to Aswan, to a pure city that kept itself away from life's hustle and bustle, searching for a break: to pause, slow down, and recharge. It was an ordinary day when he realized this place could be his escape, and others' too: moments worth writing about and living in. A moment of appreciating God's beautiful creation.

When we first planned to build, the one thing we knew was that we wanted to create something different: something unique and exciting. Not like any other hotel. We wanted our rooms, our surroundings, and the whole of the BenBen experience to tell our own story, and show every guest what they will live by choosing BenBen Hotel.

HEISSA ISLAND, ASWAN

It Is More Than Just a Hotel; It Is a Lifetime Experience

BenBen Hotel is a dare-to-be-different destination, conveniently nestled on the old Nubian Island of Heissa, overlooking the serene city of Aswan, and built with a commitment to the best ecological practices. Nubian-style architecture and majestic panoramic natural surroundings make this eco-friendly hotel the recharging hideaway to rediscover your most refreshed self.

Our focus is on creating a quality stay with the best additions to the cherished memories we look forward to sharing with you. Our constant mission is to provide peace of mind and build loyalty based on the value of our relationships with our guests.

Get Lost in a Unique Stay

The stunning 24 accommodating units and every hotel area are designed for inspiration, blessed by the sun, encompassed by the breathtaking views of the Nile and sights like the Philae Temple and the Aswan High Dam. A restaurant with tasty cuisines, flawless services, and exclusive indulgences for pleasant retreats, on the land of gold, Aswan.

Leave the chaos of busy cities and crowded streets behind, and welcome to the heaven of BenBen Hotel.

Don't Settle for Less: Safety, Comfort, Tasty Food

We believe in good combinations: safety, location, accommodation, dining, service. People who seek a meditation retreat often can't find all of it together: a peaceful stay with no outstanding food, or good bedding without a good location. Here, we aim for the whole experience: comfortable bedding, mouthwatering food, and a professional, warm service, alongside 360° panoramic views.

Know the Real Aswani Spirit

With the goal of transforming how our guests feel, BenBen feels less like a hotel and more like a close-knit eco-village. Our team works together as a true family to give you the very best, with a warm and welcoming heart.

They Say We Say, You Feel It

Here you are safe; you have excellent bedding and facilities while living in nature. We give you options: a good mobile signal and Wi-Fi so you can stay connected to the world you left behind, but we bet you won't want to. All you'll love to do is gaze at the beautiful scenes of nature from your private Jacuzzi, meditate on BenBen's Rock, and enjoy your stay.
