On the Nile at Aswan overlooking Elephantine Island, the legendary Old Cataract is a 19th-century Victorian palace hotel, with historic and river-view suites, the fine-dining 1902, a spa and a Nile-view infinity pool.
The Old Cataract sits on the Nile at Aswan, overlooking Elephantine Island, a legendary 19th-century Victorian palace with rich cultural heritage and a famed guest list from Winston Churchill to Agatha Christie, who has a signature suite here. Across the historic palace and a newer building, its rooms and suites include panoramic Nile-view suites of around 80 square metres and the signature Churchill and Agatha Christie suites.
Dining is led by 1902, the historic fine-dining restaurant regarded as the best in Upper Egypt, with outdoor terraces for afternoon tea and English and French cooking and a bar. There is a spa drawing on therapies of ancient wisdom, a 24-hour fitness centre, a Nile-view infinity pool and an indoor spa pool. A destination in itself, it suits heritage and romance seekers who want the most historic hotel in Upper Egypt, ideal for Abu Simbel trips and the start or end of a Nile cruise.
