The Old Cataract Hotel

Step into the legendary site where King Fouad once entertained and Agatha Christie sipped cocktails: the 5-star Legend Old Cataract Aswan Hotel. In the Nubian Desert on the banks of the Nile, opposite Elephantine Island, the majestic hotel sits on a pink granite cliff overlooking the world's longest river. Elephantine Island and the Aswan Museum are at your feet. The rock Tombs of Amarna, where ancient Egyptian nobles are buried, are close to the hotel. Aswan city centre is a stroll away, as are a number of other attractions.
