My great grandfather – Hanna Nassim – was the builder of the famous Moorish dining room. He was also the contractor who build the third and last stage of the Old Aswan Dam nearby.
Wow, that terrace is amazing. Or rather, terraces! I'm not sure I'd be able to afford the Winston Churchill Suite to access that one! This is just a stunning hotel all-around.
I just stayed at 'The Old Cataract' last December and it was one of the most gorgeous and beautiful hotel experiences I have ever had! I didn't want to leave!
What a great hotel, we stopped there in 2016 while on tour for high tea – outstanding place.
The fact that Agatha Christie spend an entire YEAR in this hotel makes the intrigue especially intriguing. Been starting to read her work (beginning with ship-related settings, of course), and now that I've caught a glimpse of one of her inspirations, "Death On the Nile" is up there on my to-read list.
This is incredibly gorgeous. Thank you for sharing!
Had double gin and tonics there some years ago (horrific bill when the time came), looking out over the river at sunset was like looking at a movie set, just amazing.
Gorgeous hotel.
$9000 a night seems a bargain! 🍾🥂🇪🇬🤣
Lol ‘no Travel lodge’ i would certainly agree. Thank you for this beautiful video tour.
A lovely tour Rich. Other than cruising through the Suez Canal I’ve not seen much of Egypt. Definitely on the to-do list
Thanks Rich for this 😉👍🏻. I’ve stayed in several Sofitel Hotels during my travels and have found them to be luxurious in every way . ☺️
Hi Rich and Helen. very beautiful indeed. I've heard it said that "if you have to ask how much it is, you probably cannot afford it !!"
It is a truly beautiful city and hotel, the view would be nice with a nice glass of something chilled.
Now I must listen to the Death on the Nile audio drama. Cheers!
Good work there – inspector Clouseau. Always entertaining and informative.
Wow great venue I like that is quite forgotten about and old but maintains its luxury and old school fascade
Wow! Beautiful! Thank you for this tour. While I will always have a soft spot for the Sofitel Nile El Gezirah, this property has won a piece of my heart – will definitely make reservations for my next trip to Egypt!
So lovely ❤️. Will visite Aswan this June 🙏
