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!

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. |
