 Hello everyone this is Ahmeddan of Ahmeddan.com You are watching one of my travel videos and today I am taking to the Basmah Hotel in Aswan Egypt. Basmah Hotel is located on very high ground possibly the highest point of Aswan. I saw a huge piece of artwork hanging on the entrance outside that looked like it was made of mosaic or marble. The front of the hotel gives access to amazing views overlooking the beautiful greenery, the city of Aswan, mountains, yellow sand dunes and the amazing Nile view or Nile river view. Basmah Hotel is a huge hotel complex with 200 rooms and very big swimming pool. It looked like rooms can have two different types of views. On one side you'll get the Nile view and on the other side you'll have the city view. Regardless you get to see the surrounding mountains and yellow sand dunes. My room got the city mountain view. The problem with this hotel that it was too old and crying for renovation. My room had two beds. Ultimately I was okay with my room. It felt clean and tidy except everything was old. The bathroom was nothing fancy but acceptable. I even had a balcony but a weird thing made my balcony and views feel weird. It looked like a square blocks of concrete structures on the floor level outside my balcony. I was not sure what those were or why they were in front. They could be structures to support the building or something else. They're not directly blocking any views because they came up from the ground up to my balcony floor level. But if I looked from my high floor to the ground then they block the view. The presence of these concrete blocks made me not like my room as much as I could otherwise. So I didn't get to enjoy the balcony and full city view with the mountains beyond. At night I headed for dinner at the hotel restaurant which will be a separate video. Thank you for watching this video. There will be more Egypt videos coming up so I'll see you shortly. Thank you.
