Egypt's Sofitel Old Cataract
Sofitel Old Cataract
This brick-red Edwardian classic gained fame after Agatha Christie's Death on the Nile was filmed here, taking advantage of its graceful Islamic interiors and spectacular Nile views. For the past century it's been one of the most highly regarded hotels in Egypt.
Overlooking the Nile, across from the legendary Elephantine Island, the Victorian architecture of the Sofitel combines elegantly with interior decor inspired by the Orient. The hotel offers 123 rooms and 8 suites, as well as a 1902 gourmet restaurant, serving French and international cuisine in an architectural environment of great elegance. Enjoy the heated outdoor freshwater pool with sun lounges, parasols and bathing towels, or take to the courts for a game of tennis.
