%cv %m I can not remember!: Hotel Views
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • The hotel was pleasent enough, it was a 3 star with an enclosed pool. The bedrooms were extremely pink!
    The Hotel owner, Mustapha was an amusing but VERY bossy man. He also had a travel agency.
    Because of the lack of tourists it was very cheap to stay there.

    If you recognise the view from the roof of the hotel and the discription of Mustapha, Please let me know which Hotel it is (~_~)!

    Sofitel Old Cataract: An Agatha Christie Moment!   Check Rates
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • The Old Cataract Hotel built in 1899 is positioned in the banks of the Nile, set within its own gardens.

    The standard of the rooms, service & international food menu are as expected all excellent. The interior is beautifully decorated in an old style (Victorian probably). There is a swimming pool & tennis courts, both of which are shared with the New Cataract Hotel next door.

    The terrace is my favourite area of the hotel, I was in heaven sat here with a drink overlooking Nile life, like going back in time.

    I feel the Hotel is a bit on the pricy side with rooms ranging upwards of $170 for a standard garden view room, $380 for a standard Nile View room & $500 for a suite. But I guess you are paying for the nostalga factor.

    It is a well known fact Agatha Christie stayed here, whilst here she did some writing. Death on the Nile was also filmed at the Old Cataract Hotel.


    Unique Qualities:
    Views over to Elephantine Island & the Mausoleum of the Aga Khan over the Nile are fantastic from one of the terraces.

    There is a real sense of history here with a wonderfully unique atmosphere. I can not wait to return!

     My friend turns 50 next year and we are planning to travel somewhere together and Egypt at the moment is on the top of the list. I will show her your pages when she comes here.

     Nice photos! We were just talking about Aswan last night at an English conversation course I am teaching, because one of the participants has been there. She also told us about Agatha Christie and the hotel.
