Four-star hotel in New Aswan, pools and aqua-park access, breakfast buffet and complimentary Wi-Fi.
The short answer
Gloria Aqua Park - New Aswan is a one-day hotel stay in Aswan, arranged through Discovery Tours Egypt.
Snapshot
02Overview
By late afternoon the palm-lined road into New Aswan feels quieter than the Nile Corniche, and the first thing you notice is the pool water and the soft hiss of the aqua-park slides. At Gloria Aqua Park your approach is across tiled paths toward a compact lobby and the front desk, where a reserved room key waits and a map points to pools and slides.
We arrange your reservation and book the Best Available Rate for the room type you choose, and our local team will confirm check-in details. Unlike larger Nile hotels, Gloria is built around family leisure and on-site waterslides, which suits travellers who want active daytime facilities rather than inner-city luxury.
Background
Gloria Aqua Park is a 4-star hotel in New Aswan, within Aswan Governorate, at the southern edge of Aswan city. Discovery Tours Egypt books and arranges the stay; the hotel provides the accommodation and facilities.
New Aswan is a newer residential and service district, outside the busy Nile Corniche area. The hotel offers an outdoor pool, an on-site restaurant and lobby bar, complimentary Wi-Fi in rooms and public areas, and an airport-shuttle service.
Room-only rates are sold per room per night. Breakfast is not guaranteed unless a board basis is reserved. Tourism or city taxes, spa treatments, paid hotel activities and transfers are not included unless booked separately.
Front desk assistance and basic concierge services are available for check-in, check-out and local arrangements. We'll confirm the meal basis for your selected room rate and shuttle availability before travel.

Highlights
Things to Consider
Worth knowing
Many stays in Aswan’s central area place guests near the busy Nile Corniche; Gloria Aqua Park is in New Aswan, away from that area. We book it for travellers seeking a practical, budget-conscious stay rather than inner-city luxury.

Tailor it
Rooms are sold room-only unless you reserve a board basis, so breakfast is not guaranteed with the standard rate. Airport transfers and guided excursions can be arranged if pre-booked; ask us to check room location and lift access before confirming.
Your own specialist deals with each request before you book.
Where it fits
Use Gloria Aqua Park as a practical Aswan base before or after visits to Philae Temple and the Aswan High Dam. Its New Aswan location is outside the Nile Corniche area, so allow for road travel to central Aswan sights.
Accessibility
The hotel has stepped access to the main lobby and several guest-room blocks, with stairs and some ramps between levels. Public areas include tiled floors, poolside paving, and a short flight of steps to the restaurant terrace; some corridors may be narrower than modern universal-access standards. Several ground-floor rooms are available on request, and we can arrange transfers and assistance at check-in. Please tell us about mobility needs before travel so we can advise which rooms suit you; independent mobility on historic streets in central Aswan is affected by cobbles and uneven surfaces beyond the hotel grounds.
Before you go
Minimum age for standard bookings is usually 2 years; infants under 2 often stay free in the same room, subject to cot availability. Child rates for older children vary by room occupancy and the hotel may charge an extra-bed supplement. Strollers are practical in many hotel areas but can be awkward on nearby streets with uneven paving. Request cots or high chairs at the time of booking so the hotel can reserve equipment.
These fares are a guide, as prices and rooms move through the year. Do ask us and we will confirm the fare for the days you have in mind.
Location
Gloria Aqua Park is in New Aswan, within the city of Aswan in southern Egypt. The information available here does not specify its street address, nearby districts or landmarks, so we cannot give reliable walking distances or travel times. New Aswan is the only neighbourhood location confirmed for the property. For practical journey planning, check the hotel’s exact address before booking transport; a neighbourhood name alone is not enough to estimate a route. The property is listed as four-star, but no further location details have been provided.

– Responsible travel
Guests typically arrive in Aswan by scheduled flight or road, and the hotel uses standard diesel minibuses for airport transfers arranged on request. Housekeeping follows linen-reuse practices when guests opt in, and public lighting uses LED fixtures. The hotel sources produce and services from local suppliers and hires local staff for F&B and housekeeping. We encourage guests to use refillable water bottles and direct optional cultural tours to licensed local guides and craft vendors so income stays in the community. If you want carbon-offset options or a staff-tip plan that benefits employees directly, tell us when you book and we will arrange specifics.

Alexandria1 Days
Overnight stay at San Giovanni Stanley Hotel and Restaurant in Alexandria, arranged by our licensed Egyptian tour operator. We book this property for travellers seeking an overnight base in Alexandria rather than a hurried day trip from Cairo. We don't run mass coach groups in Alexandria; bookings here are for private or small parties so arrival times and transfers remain flexible. We arrange private transfers and experienced local guides; ask us to add an evening Corniche walk or an early start for the Bibliotheca Alexandrina. Central hotels can be subject to traffic noise and limited parking; ask about quieter room options or alternative drop-off times. Bookable as a single-night stay or as part of a longer Alexandria programme.

HurghadaPickalbatros Aqua Blu Resort Hurghada sits on the Red Sea coast in Hurghada. We are a licensed Egyptian tour operator and arrange bookings, private transfers and room options at this property. We do not allocate guests into large coach-group blocks at our partner hotels; instead we book rooms and arrival logistics individually. Unlike mass-market charter packages, we can tailor arrival times and add private transfers or local support on request. Trade-offs: the resort can be busy in Egyptian school holidays and some room locations require a short walk between reception and the shoreline.
From £103
HurghadaSwiss Inn Resort Hurghada sits on the Red Sea coast with private beach access and an on-site dive desk. We use this hotel when clients want straightforward sea access and easy diving or snorkelling logistics rather than an all-inclusive resort bubble. Unlike many large Hurghada complexes, this property makes independent day trips simple: Giftun Island snorkelling and Luxor overnights are bookable without resort transfer rules. Expect busy beaches during peak season and limited shade at midday; bring sun protection and early-morning plans. As a licensed Egyptian tour operator, we arrange airport meet-and-greet, dive bookings and tailored excursions from Hurghada.
