The best accommodations Nile Valley

The long and famous saga of Old Cataract began a little more than a hundred years ago, in 1899. All the greats of this world have spent their time there. A must for heads of state and show-biz personalities. The jewel of the Egyptian hotel industry, restored with extreme taste in 2011, nestled in an exuberant palm garden, with its Victorian and Moorish architecture, it overlooks the river from the top of its pink granite promontory.

Simple, but clean chamber. Washing machine available. Swimming pool at Emilio Hotel available. Bicycle rental. Hassan, the manager, organizes memorable excursions with a donkey, equipped for the white desert, for Aswan, etc. Restaurant with beer on the terrace.

He didn't wait to cool all his rooms. Situated in a pleasant garden, this hotel overlooks the desert and the mountain. There is a small terrace on the front to have a drink or take a meal.

The cheapest hotel in this category is distinguished by the high quality of the service offered. You have to see the Sudanese staff in the traditional costume restaurant! Small swimming pool on the terrace on the seventh floor. In the city centre.

A modern and stylish establishment at the entrance to the Souk. Comfort assured. Some of the rooms are the Nile, but all are air-conditioned and have an impeccable bathroom. Welcome is warm and efficient service.

Less expensive than others, but 20 minutes from the site.

The building, at the corner of the street, is easily linked to its pseudo-huge bas-reliefs of a curious taste. Mostly Egyptian customers (unfortunately noisy). The hotel has been badly aged but is clean. Avoid the rooms near the night box on the second floor.
