NILE TERRACE

On the Nile Terrace, savor tea and scones or unwind beneath a canvas umbrella with cool, sweet hibiscus tea admiring sunsets where Agatha Christie relished these same Nile River and West Bank views as she penned her much acclaimed book, Death on the Nile.

Pool

The shimmering water of the swimming pool is an invitation to recline under shady palm trees and bright blue skies. Swim up to the bar for a cocktail, pass the day on a sun bed and satisfy your appetite with a delicious dish from a gourmet pool menu.

Lovely hotel, pool freezing!

Diane R Couples - 14/ 3/2025 TripAdvisor review

After 23 years of visiting this hotel, I fear my visits here are done. The gardens are lovely, the staff try so hard to accommodate any request, but I'm done. The minute the sun shines, the pool heating goes off. The pool is freezing because the evenings are still cool. Im currently watching tourists getting halfway in, then back out of the pool due to it being too cold. The management believe being 34 degrees at midday means it's warm enough to heat an Olympic sized pool. Sadly they are not the ones who want to swim! The location is great, the staff try so hard, but in fairness, the Hilton and Steigenberger are more modern, offer more choice of restaurants and have warmer pools in winter months.

EXCELLENT SERVICE - wonderful staff
