| Old Cataract Hotel in Aswan |
| | Old Cataract Hotel Thomas Cook, the grand tour manager of Egypt had the hotel constructed, mostly for the tourists that his company was escorting down the Nile at the end of the 19th century.
The Old Cataract Hotel was always a favorite of the Elite during Egypt's British colonial period, and with the release of the movie written by Agatha Christie and Anthony Shaffer, "Death on the Nile", in 1978, the hotel received a grand revival of interest.
