Old Cataract Hotel - Aswan & Nubia - Egypt

The Old Cataract Hotel sits on a granite hill at the edge of The Nile in Aswan and takes its name from a set of rapids that sit immediately in front of the hotel. Unlike many historical hotels in Egypt, it was never a royal palace or a lodge, but has become one of Egypt's finest and best known hotels. Most guests staying in one of the hotels one hundred and fifty odd rooms will enjoy wonderful river views from their private terraces, whilst all will appreciate the beautiful antique furnishings and memories of bygone eras that still pervade this wonderful hotel. Highly recommended.
