Aswan City, Egypt
Aswan was the southern border of pharaonic Egypt. The Nile River valley begins to the north of Aswan, as at this point the hard sandstone was difficult to cut through. At some points granite was exposed just beneath the surface of the sandstone. Granite is very hard rock and even a river like the Nile can only cut through it very slowly.
Aswan is the town visitors to Egypt remember most and rarely does anyone fail to enjoy its subtle delights. Although lacking much of the ancient splendor to be seen elsewhere, many of Aswan's monuments have been saved from the rising waters of the High Dam, itself a testament to modern man.

Island, the hotel is majestically positioned on an outcrop of pink granite overlooking the Nile. It opened its doors in 1889 and has become a legendary name in hospitality.
Staying at the Cataract has been described as walking into a painting, or a period post card. This hotel is a living history that one not only senses with the eyes, but feels in the bones. With its high ceilings, long halls and Moorish decor, one is transported back through time to Egypt's Victorian past, of empire builders locked in monumental discussions on the famous Terrace, of Howard Carter reveling in his recent discovery of Tut's Tomb and of Europe's royalty relaxing and gaining their health in isolated gardens.
The Old Cataract Hotel is a favorite of many Tour Egypt readers, almost to the extent that a few we hear from must make an occasional visit for a routine "Cataract Fix". It easily qualifies as one of the two best known hotels in Egypt, perhaps after, or before the Mena House in Cairo.
The Old Cataract Hotel was always a favorite of the Elite during Egypt's British colonial period, and with the release of the movie written by Agatha Christie and Anthony Shaffer, "Death on the Nile", in 1978, the hotel received a grand revival of interest.
