Kato Dool Wellness Resort
Aswan, Egypt · Kato Dool · Accessible Luxury
Forty-centimetre brick walls do part of the air-conditioning at Kato Dool, where Nubian and Upper Egyptian craftspeople built thirty-two domed rooms from red brick, sandstone, granite and soil excavated on site. Every room looks toward the Nile from the hillside above Salouga and Ghazal, while solar power, natural ventilation, handmade furnishings and the resort's organic farm carry the wellness idea well beyond the spa.

- Neighborhood: Gharb Siheil
About Kato Dool Wellness Resort

History
