The Old Cataract hotel. One of the highlights of our
trip. Anyone traveling to Egypt must try and stay at
the Old Cataract. Built in the early 1900s it is a
vision from days gone by. Think Agatha Christie,
Indiana Jones etc. The Hotel sits on the Nile in an
area filled with rock formations and diversions in
the river. The Faluca boat trips are a must in this
area. Beautiful in every direction. By know dad and I
are a little worn out as we have managed to catch
colds but we are still managing to have a great time.
We also tried our first Nubian cuisine, which is
similar to mediterranean very wonderful.
