This is one of the most exquisite hotels I've ever stayed in -- not becasue of the hotel itself, as much as for the location. The Old Cataract Hotel is perched atop a granite hill at the Nile river's edge in Aswan, Egypt, and takes its name from the rivers First Cataract (rapids) at the traditional northern border of Nubia. The sunsets from this marvelous location cannot be beat. The closest I've ever seen is the Bumi Hills Lodge on Lake Kariba in Zimbabwe. Staying at the Cataract has been described as walking into a painting, or a period post card. This hotel is a living history that one not only senses with the eyes, but feels in the bones. With its high ceilings, long halls and Moorish decor, one is transported back through time to Egypt's past. Perfectly located to tour Aswan and Elephantine Island, visitors should do everything possible to stay at this hotel. It will be the memory of a lifetime.
Absolutely charming with a magnificent view of the Nile and Elephantine Island. Truly wonderful, it is a privilege to stay here -- an unforgettable experience! Leave a Comment Theme: HotelPrice: US$180 and up » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than averagePhone: 20-97-316000
